ABSTRACT
Carica papaya is a herbaceous plant, cultivated as fruit crop, meanwhile it is a good medicinal plant used in traditional medicine worldwide. To explore phytocomponents present in the ethanolic crude extracts of Carica papaya var. CO.7 seeds were subjected to Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis. Mass spectrums were interpreted with the help of NIST, library and 27 different compounds were identified. Most of the identified compounds were fatty acid esters and phenolic hydrocarbons. A result paves the way to study further, to elucidate its activity on the biological systems.
Keywords: Carica papaya, Ethanolic extracts, GC-MS, bioactivity.
