Abstract
The present study was carried out to evaluate the phytochemical analysis, in vitro antioxidant, antidiabetic,
antilipase and antimicrobial activity of the Hylocereus undatus juice extract. The antioxidant activity of the fruit extract
was determined in vitro using the DPPH method. In vitro antidiabetic activity of fruit extract was observed by starch-agar
gel diffusion method. The Antilipase activity of the aqueous fruit extract was assessed by the Rhodamine agar plate
method. The results of the present study conclude that Hylocereus undatus juice extract possesses antioxidant, antidiabetic
and antilipase activities. Phytochemical screening of the white dragon fruit showed the presence of triterpenoid, alkaloid,
flavonoid and saponin.
