Grape fruits were found to be rich source of Anthocyanin content and vitamin C also macromolecules contents such as carbohydrate contents of 29mg, Protein 18.7mg and fat content 3.7mg /100 g of f. wt. Micronutrients were estimated by AAS which showed that calcium content was 3.1mg/g.f.wt, iron content 2.7 mg/g.f.wt, potassium 2.6 mg/g.f.wt found to be more than other minerals in fresh extracts of grape fruits. The comparative results of revealed considerable amount of phytoconstituents in grape fruits in which anthocyanins alone has been taken to evaluate therapeutic effects on breast cancer cell MCF-7 cell viability test was carried out to determine cell proliferation.
