Bio-waste from the processing of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) is produced in significant quantities. Since this garbage has the potential to pollute the air and water, its accumulation is seen as a health issue. recycling the leftover fruit components, so lessening the amount and effect of the bio-waste discharged into the surroundings. This study aimed to ascertain the phytochemical profile, antibacterial and antioxidant properties of three fruit component extracts(1) The biggest fruited evergreen tree, the jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam), may be native to the Western Ghats rain forests in southwest India. Known by many as kanthal, kathal, or kathar, it is a traditional meal in India. It first occurs in market from spring through summer. A significant yet underappreciated fruit, jackfruit is frequently referred to as the poor man's fruit, was a popular meal in ancient India that was eaten by the fruits' added value Jackfruit has higher levels of iron, calcium, protein, vitamins, and various vital elements in contrast to the typical fruits Another application for jackfruit is as a conventional medication for the management of dermatitis, cough, ulcers, wound healing, and asthma constipation, anxiety, and hypertension. In the many investigations on anti-inflammatory, qualities that are both antibacterial and anti-diabetic(2) According to clinical research, the leaves have anti-diabetic properties in both insulin-dependent and healthy diabetic patients. Unfortunately, jackfruit has not been successfully used on a commercial basis in the regions where it is cultivated, despite its many health advantages. In order to fully explore the potential of jackfruit in health and illness, this review provides an up-to-date, thorough, and critical examination of the nutritional value, phytochemical profile, pharmacological qualities, and underlying mechanisms of action(3). Standard techniques were used to analyze the preliminary phytochemical contents of Artocarpus heterophyllus leaves; atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) was used to analyze the leaves' mineral content; and GC-MS was used to analyze the components of the essential oils. The presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, tannins, cardiac glycoside, steroids, saponin, and carboxylic acid was shown by qualitative phytochemical screening of the leaves.(4) Scavenging hydroxyl radicals has the strongest antioxidant activity; it is followed by scavenging hydrogen peroxide and chelating ferrous iron. The outcome findings of this study indicate that the potential of jackfruit extract as an agent for diabetes(5)
