Abstract

Carica papaya is an important medicinal plant used in the management of different disease conditions. Phytochemical screening was carried out using different chemical test, Percentage yield and total phenolic content was evaluated using Folin Ciocalteu method in different solvent system; methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and n-hexane respectively. The phytochemical screening of the studies showed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, glycosides, steroids, carbonhydrate, anthraquinone and alkaloids. The percentage yield of crude extract and total polyphenol content was high in methanol, ethanol and ethyl acetate when compared with n-butanol and n-hexane. The studies show that Carica papaya leave extracts is a potent source of secondary metabolites. The use of the plant in the management of diseases is justified.
