Quantification of total phenolic compounds in papaya (carica papaya) peels

Phenolics are widely distributed in many plants and are known to play a major role in the plant and animal kingdom. Phenolics exhibit strong antioxidant properties and have been used as antitumor, anticarcinogenic, antiviral and hypotensive agents. Plant by products contain a variety of these phenol...

Phenolics exhibit strong antioxidant properties and have been used as antitumor, anticarcinogenic, antiviral and hypotensive agents. Plant by products contain a variety of these phenolic compounds and can therefore be used as an alternative source due to their higher antioxidant capacity and low toxicity compared to those of synthetically derived phenolics. In this study, ‘Sekaki’ papaya (Carica papaya) peels were used as an alternative source of phenolics and Response Surface Methodolgy (RSM) was employed to optimize the process conditions to achieve the highest phenolic content from the fruit peels.
