Description :
This research work was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of Seeds of Carica papaya and their phytochemical screening. Ethanol and hot water were used to extract the active compounds from dry seeds of Carica papaya. The phytochemical analysis of the seeds extracts of the plant was also carried out to determine the active ingredients present in these extracts. The antimicrobial activities of different solvents of these extracts were determined against bacterial and fungal isolates by observing the zones of inhibition. The bacterial isolates used were Escherichia coli. Results obtained showed that the ethanolic extracts showed more antibacterial activities. The ethanolic extract of dry seed of Carica papaya showed grater activities against Yeast & E-Coli. The phytochemical analysis showed that the papaya seeds extracts contained alkaloids, saponin, tannin, terpenoid and flavonoids active ingredients .
Keywords: Seeds Extracts of Papaya, Phytochemical Analysi , Antibacterial screening.
