Abstract

The aim of this study is to extract Carica papaya plant leaf, analyse phytochemical analysis, and confirm functional groups using FTIR analysis.To extract Carica papaya and perform preliminary phytochemical analysis to identify phytochemical ingredients contained in the leaf extract and confirm the functional group of the active constituents present in the extract using the FTIR technique.The preliminary phytochemicals of Ethanol, Methanol, and Hydro-Alcohol extracts of Carica papaya were evaluated to determine the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, terpenoids, steroids, and tannins to confirm the functional group of the active constituents present in the extract by using the FTIR method analysis. Saponins, steroids, carbohydrates, alkaloids, glycosides, proteins and amino acids, flavonoids, and other related phytochemicals having N-H bonds were found in Carica papaya leaf extract, which was validated by qualitative phytochemical analysis.From the results of the study was concluded that ethanolic extract of Caricva papaya has the Alkyl halides, carboxylic acids, amines, amides, Alkenes, Ethers, Alcohol compounds.These amines and carboxylic acids are used for Dengue, Dyspepsia,hyperacidity,dysentery and constipation.
