Carica papaya Linn. is one of the valuable plant used for various purposes in medicinal field. Leaves, fruit and seeds of the C. papaya are used as ethnomedicine. This work describes biochemical constituents of leaves of C. papaya. Fresh leaves samples of the plant were collected during the month of January, 2013 from different parts of Bhuj in Kachchh district (Gujarat), India. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the biochemical composition in leaves of C. papaya growing in the semi-arid region of Gujarat and based on the result to justify its importance in various treatments of diseases. The dried leaves were further analyzed for biochemical constituents like Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Na + , K + , Clˉ and Li + . The results indicated that the leaf extract of C. papaya has high potentiality for curing number of diseases.
An experimental study on Carica papaya leaves was carried out in Thermo gravimetric analyzer (TGA), Differential Thermal Analyzer (DTA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) analyzer to investigate the effects of reaction atmosphere on thermal chemical characteristics. Experimental results show that In DSC curve, Endothermic peak at 101 °C is attributed to dehydration/Water loss from surface and pores of the powder sample.Step at 215 °C is associated with second order phase transition such as Glass Transition and it should be further confirmed in second heating (During heatcool-heat cycle). Endothermic peak at 336 °C is associated protease thermal decomposition /Beta Cyclodextrin breakdown. In the TGA Curve, The initial 4 % weight loss is due to water loss from surface/pores of powder sample. Second weight loss between 200-450 °C is associated to degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose.
The objective of the present investigation was to study the chemical composition of leaves of Carica papaya belonging to family Caricaceae growing in semi-arid region of Kachchh district, Gujarat, India. The leaves of C. papaya were subjected to Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and were analyzed for different mineral composition. As the X-ray Fluorescence is one of the most reliable and accurate, as well as it is also a consistent and non-destructive method for analysis of major and trace elements using a single pressed pellet. During the study it was found that Oxygen, Calcium, Magnessium, Potassium were noted in higher amounts, compared to that of other elements like Silicon, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Chloride, Strontium, Stanous, Aluminium, Cromium and Mangenese, whereas the elements which were not detected in leaves of C. papaya are Vanadium, Titanium, Cobalt and Tantalum.

Traditional knowledge of medicinal plants is showing important and significant values to society. One of the important trees growing in the Panchmahal region, Bombax ceiba, has immersed medicinal values sited in few kinds of literature. Local populations utilizing various parts of Bombax ceiba as medicines are to be known scientifically through traditional inputs. The present study was undertaken to emphasis the secondary metabolites present in different parts of B. ceiba growing region in Panchmahal, district. Traditional information about plant/tree in generally available related to leaves, trunk, root, fruits etc. the current study deals with knowledge of flowers along with thereof B. ceiba growing in Panchmahal district. Investigation for qualitative analysis of thorn, petals, and androecium was carried out for the tree B. ceiba growing in Panchamahal district.
Background and Objective: Aloe vera was one of the oldest mentioned plants on record due to its medicinal properties and health benefits. The present study attempts to investigate qualitative and quantitative phytochemical constitutes and antimicrobial activities in Aloe barbadensis Miller plant growing in saline and non-saline region. Materials and Methods: The qualitative phytochemical constitute detected in all extract and quantitative phytochemical constitute were determined and analyzed by using a spectrophotometer. Wherever the antimicrobial activities were determined by the agar disk diffusion method. Results: Phytochemical screening of the Aloe barbadensis Miller plant revealed the presence of some bioactive components, such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins, carbohydrates, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and protein. The major chemical constitutes found in this plant were flavonoid, reducing and non-reducing sugar in both saline and non-saline region. The quantities of total carbohydrates were higher in both fresh Aloe barbadensis Miller gel (6.60%) and formulated Aloe barbadensis Miller powder (41.42%). The zone of inhibition is determined by the agar disk-diffusion method varied with the fresh Aloe barbadensis Miller gel. Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were resistant to the Aloe barbadensis Miller gel tested. Fresh Aloe barbadensis Miller gel showed good antibacterial potential against both types of bacterial strains, gram-positive S. aureus as well as gram-negative E. coli. Conclusion: Thus, the studied Aloe barbadensis Miller samples were concluded that as large-scale antibiotic resistance by bacteria was becoming an interesting public health concern and the race to discover the new antibacterial agent was on, Aloe barbadensis Miller gel along with its compounds with promising antibacterial activity could be used as an alternative herbal remedy.
