The potential health benefits of plant are determined by the level of phytochemicals, proximate, minerals and vitamin composition of the plant material. The study was carried out to determine the phytochemical composition, proximate and vitamin content of Artocarpus heterophyllus pulp and seeds. The results revealed that Artocarpus heterophyllus is rich in phytochemicals such as Saponins, Alkaloid, Cardiac Glycoside, Phlobatannins, Terpenes, Steroids and Deoxy-Sugar. Proximate composition analysis indicated that the pulp has higher moisture, protein and lipid content, while crude fibre and carbohydrate were higher in the seed. The fruit pulp contained a greater percentage of vitamins A and C compared to the seeds. These phytochemicals, proximate composition, and vitamins offer numerous health benefits, suggesting that the consumption of jack fruit pulp and seeds may help in alleviating various health challenges.
