ABSTRACT
Fruits contain a diverse assortment of bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, tannins, glycosides,
flavonoids, saponins, that possess many functional properties such as anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic properties and also prevent against various degenerative and
chronic diseases. Due to the presence of these compounds variety of fruits are known to exhibit
many health benefits and disease-preventive characteristics. The isolation of these phytochemicals
from plant involves the use of various extraction techniques. Mangifera indica (Mango) and
Syzygium cumini (Jamun) are known to possess diverse phytochemicals, most of which are
observed to be of health benefits. So, the present study aims to identify the presence of various
phytochemicals that are present inherently in seed which is the base of generation of fruit.
