Green leaves and stems have a quite high quantity of water and it’s difficult to obtained an accurate solvent to extract the constituents from the aqueous cells. So the choices of solvent to be used may determine the success of the extraction. In this research work two different solvents were used to extract photochemical parameters in Momordica charantia leaves and stems. The phyto constituents extracted by the solvents from the leaves and stems of M.charantia was compared. In a nutshell, this current study is aimed to painstakingly compared the extracting efficacy of Hexane and Ethanol on phytoconstituents of M.charantia leaves and stems and as well, showing the best and appropriate solvent to be used in extracting phytochemicals from the leaves and stems of M.Charantia. 150ML of Hexane and Ethanol were used for extracting phytoconstituents form both the leaves and stems of M.Charantia. Standard test methods for phytochemical screening were adopted to determine the various phytochemical parameters present. The result shows that the extracting power and strength of Hexane and Ethanol differs on the various phytochemical parameters. The result table showed apparently, the appropriate solvent between Hexane and Ethanol that can be used to extract phytoconstituents from the leaves and stems of M.charantia. phytoconstituents such as Tannins, Steriods, Glycosides, Saponins, phenols, Alkaloids, Flavonoids and volatile oil were isolated.
