Abstract

The extract of the plant's (Carica papaya) leaves was screened by using phyotchemical analysis. The plant produces quninone, alkaloids, carbohydrates, amino acids, glycosides, polyphenols, tannins, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, and glycosides by colouring technique. The plant extract was made using solvent extraction with ethanol. Carica papaya has numerous biological qualities, including antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-diabetic properties. Antioxidant Activity (In-vitro) assessed by Free radical scavenging method. Antibacterial activity assessed against Bacillus subtilis and E.Coli by Disc Diffusion method. The extracts produced by batch technique from Carica papapya leaves were employed in the study.
