The objective of this study was to find out the presence of phytochemicals in the aqueous extracts of citrus peel of both qualitative and quantitative screening methods. In qualitative analysis, the phytochemical compounds such as alkaloids, saponin, tannin, phenol, a, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, terpenes, flavonoid and were determined in the sample aqueous extracts by using standard methods. The aqueous extract of the citrus peel showed positive results for nine phytochemical tests. Also, quantitative analysis of the important secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, saponins and tannins were tested in the sample extracts. Results concluded that the presence of these active compounds may be responsible for the medicinal purposes of the plant.
