Journal Title: Hygeia:journal for drugs and medicines - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: The present study deals with the qualitative identification of phytochemical constituents from Cucumismelo Linn fruits and seeds Method: The methanolic extract of both fruit and seed was subjected to phytochemical screening by qualitative and HPTLC methods. Outcome: The analysis revealed that the extract of Cucumis melo Linn is rich in phytochemical compounds like Alkaloids, Essential oils, Flavonoids, Phenolic compound, Steroids, Tannins and Triterpenes. The qualitative HPTLC analyses of the methanolic extract of the Cucumis melo fruit and seed extract showed the presence of Alkaloids, Essential oils, Flavonoids, Phenolic compound, Steroids, Tannins and Triterpenes .Further research is warranted for screening the biological activities of these extracts.
