Quantitative and qualitative phytochemical analysis of Mucuna Cochichinensis, unripe Carica papaya and unripe Musa paradisiaca flour blends were carried out. Alkaloid ranges from 1.20-2.20, tannin ranges from 0.16-2.4, saponin ranges from 1.19-1.67 and flavoniod ranges from 1.72-2.63%. MPPB had the highest phytochemical content. The hypoglycemic activity of the different flour blends where investigated on alloxan diabetic rats using Acc-check Active gluconometer daily for two weeks. Samples elicited hypoglycemic potential with sample MPPB giving the highest hypoglycemic activity reducing the hypoglycemic blood glucose concentration from 13.10mMol/l to 4.33mMol/l. The presence of high phytochemical in MPPB reversed hyperglycemia caused by alloxan- diabetics in male wister rats. MPPB is seen to be more effective and may be used for the treatment and management of diabetes mellitus.
