Abubakar 2 Department of Biotechnology, SRM University, Kattankulathur, Chennai, India Department of Biochemistry,Bayero University, Kano, Nigeria The phytochemicals in aqueous extract of Chrysophyllumalbidum seeds kernel were determined qualitatively and quantitatively in this study with a view to assess the potentials of this kernels as food and medicine. Results of this research showed that the seed kernel extracts contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, cardiac glycosides and saponins.   Quantitatively, C.albidum seed kernelwas found to contain alkaloids (3.56g/100g),tannins (2.184g/100g), cardiac glycosides (1.88g/100g), saponins (0.24g/100g) and flavonoids (0.15g/100g). Thepresences of these phytochemicals suggest the potentials of the kernel of C.albidum for use as a neutraceutical. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol13no2/qualitative-and-quantitative-determination-of-phytochemicals-in-aqueous-extract-of-chrysophyllumalbidum-seed-kernel/ Chrysophyllumalbidum; alkaloids; flavonoids; tannins; cardiac glycosides; saponins; terpenes; steroids; anthraquinones
