Abstract

India contains seven thousand plant species. Plants are important for human health. (Coccinia grandis) is an edible food crop. (Coccinia grandis) (methanolic extract) alkaloids, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, terpenoids, phenolics, proteins, carbohydrates, steroids and coumarins (phytochemical assay, physiochemical assay). Estimates were made using standard algorithms. The soxhlet extraction  was used to extract the different extracts. This study reveals the presence of different types of phytochemicals, physicochemicals and antioxidants. (Coccinia grandis). The leaves of this plant contain excellent antioxidants. Methanolic and Ethanolic extract were used (plant leaf) for the Antioxidant assays (DPTH, Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, FRAP assay and Total Antioxidant capacity assay ). Antioxidants are very important, especially when getting rid of disease. (Louis 1989). Plant phytochemicals have protective functions (immunization). (Coccinia grandis). Extracts made from plant materials. It contains phenolics. It destroys the antioxidant breakdown of lipids. This increases the nutritional value of the food and the quality of the food. This study was done to reveal the medicinal properties and value of medicinal plants. Our study is important for foundation research and future pharmaceutical research.
