Description

The phytochemical and antibacterial activity of Carica papaya root extracts was carried out on
some selected pathogens. The Carica papaya root was extracted using water and ethanol as
solvents for extraction and the phytochemical screening carried out for the Carica papaya root
extracts revealed the presence of some bioactive compounds such as Flavonoids, Tannins,
Saponins, Alkaloids, Steroids and Terpenes while free anthraquinones, glycosides and
carbohydrate were absent in both the water and ethanol extract of Carica papaya. The test
