Abstract
Herbal treatments are the most often utilized kind of medicine in the majority of
underdeveloped nations. Herbs that are used for medicine are widely available and have
been utilized for centuries. The ethno-therapeutic plant Momordica tuberosa is grown in
India, and its medicinal properties are linked to the presence of certain dietary and bioactive
constituents. In this work, the nutrient and phytochemical makeup of the methanol extract
of Momordica tuberosa stem is assessed. Standard methods were used for phytochemical
screening and proximate analysis, and GC-MS analysis was carried out to profile small and
volatile compounds. The nutritional value and phytochemical composition of Momordica
tuberosa's leaves and fruits has been the subject of several studies. According to the early
results, the plant's methanolic stem extract has nutritive and bioactive components.
