Abstract

A Phytochemical is a natural bioactive compound produced by plant body as secondary metabolites (mostly in fruits, vegetables and nuts) that works with nutrients and dietary fibre to protect against pathogenic attack. Phyochemicals are usually associated to plant pigments. So, fruits and vegetables thats are bright colours – yellow, orange, red, green, blue and purple. Current article deals with the Phytochemical screening of cucurbitaceae members viz. Lagenaria vulgaris, Luffa acutangula and Momordica subangulata. The Phytochemical test of these plants were carried out by standred methods with reference to Alkaloids, Flavonoid, Saponin, Tannin, Carbohydrates, Glycoside, Anthocyannin, etc.
