“…Papaya (Carica papaya L.), a fruit originally grown in tropical and subtropical areas of the world, has been described as a powerhouse of nutrients (Aravind et al, 2013) which is mostly consumed for its health benefits. It is a rich source of nutrients such as pro-vitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, and dietary minerals (Kumar et al, 2019). The edible portion of the ripe papaya fruit has a high nutritional value and is rich in both macro and microminerals, which are sodium, potassium, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and magnesium (Parni & Verma, 2014).…”
