Study of UV Protective Activity of Ethanolic Extract of Fruit of Carica papaya L.

In the present study, to investigate its UV protective activity of ethanolic extract of fruit of Carica papaya L. Sunlight stimulates hormone protection, and it allows synthesis of vitamins D promotes skin cell regeneration and contributes to all overseen of well being of individual. The sunlight which also stimulates melanin and the pigment that acts as the skin natural sunscreen. But excessive radiations of sunrays are unprotected and leading to painful sunburn or other skin related complication. This study evaluates on UV absorption ability of flower of Carica papaya L., as an anti-solar agent. The extract was prepared with 90% ethanol by maceration process. The method was performed by UV visible spectrophotometer in the range of 200-400nm. The finalize result of extract was reported as maximum absorbance at 283 nm while good absorbance at 220 nm to 250 nm. The moderate absorbance at 300–400 nm.
