Carica papaya L., commonly known as papaya plant is very commonly found in tropical regions.It is one of the common cultivated fruit around the world.During the recent years papaya plant found to be contain a very wide range of phytochemicals including phenolics, carotenoids, flavonoids and many more.The present study aimed to determine the effect of different extraction solvents on the total phenolic content, flavonoid content and salicylic acid content of different parts of papaya plant.The total phenolic content was determined by using folin-ciocalteau method.The total phenolic content, salicylic acid content, flavonoid content was found to be in case of leaves with 60% ethanol.In general ethanol and methanol was found to be act as good extraction solvents where as extraction with distilled water yields the lowest.Different solvents do play a greater role in boosting the extraction yield.The best extraction solvent for purification of specific bioactive compound may lead to better and promising future in case of medicines and drug discoveries.
