Keywords:
carica papaya, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, phytochemistry, ethanopharmacologyAbstract
These are well-known health benefits of papaya (Carica papaya Linn.). Ayurveda, for example, recognises papaya's therapeutic value. Herbalists have used it to cure bilious fever, gonorrhoea, eczema, rheumatism and headaches. It took four decades of amazing research to identify a critical nutraceutical compound. It is antibacterial, antipyretic, insecticidal, antimicrobial, and antimolluscan. Leaves have been studied using phytoextraction of heavy metals and phytoremediation of particle pollution. Long-term research on phytoconstituents and leaf composition. Malaria, dengue fever, inflammation, and skin infections are all treated by Carica papaya. C. papaya flowers were first tested for antioxidant and antibacterial properties using TLC and UV spectroscopy. Our tests included TLC and UV-visible spectroscopy. The methanol extract had the most alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. N-hexane had steroids and flavonoids while chloroform had saponins and tannins. In it, there were flavonoids and phenolic compounds.
