Abstract

Around the world, papayas (Carica papaya Linn.) are well-known for their culinary and nutritional benefits. In conventional medicine, papaya fruit and other plant parts are very well known for their therapeutic qualities. Papaya is grown commercially because every component of the tree has a marketable value. The biological activity and therapeutic uses of papaya have advanced significantly over the past few decades, and it is today regarded as a valuable fruit plant with nutraceutical properties. In addition to being tasty and nutritious, the ripe fruit and unripe fruit pulp have been shown to offer therapeutic benefits. The study reveals that ripe and unripe papaya fermenta have various phytoconstituents including: spirohexane-5-one (linolenic acid),1(+)-lactic acid, tertbutyldimethylsilylester (Propanoic acid), Caffeic acid (CA), myristic acid, myristin and linolelaidic acid. These compounds have various biological activities and are responsible for papaya's numerous health advantages.
