Qualitative and Quantitative Phytochemical Analysis of some Edible Fruits
Mohd Hasib Ahmed , Qazi Majaz
Abstract
The freeze-dried juices of three fruits which are rich in carotenoids were analysed qualitatively and
quantitatively for phytochemical constituents. The ethnopharmacological effects of
Momordicacochinchinensis (MC), Citrulluslanatus (CL), and Solanum lycopersicum (SL) have been
extensively studied. The chemical composition is responsible for their pharmacological effects. The
plants chosen for the study are frequently used in hypertension, dyslipidemia, inflammation, wound
healing, antiwrinkle, moisturizer, ulceration, and cancer. The fruits of these plants are rich in the red
pigment lycopene. In this study, juices are evaluated for alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins,
glycosides, anthroquinones, terpenoids, saponins, steroids, sterols, proteins, amino acids, and
carbohydrates.
