Proximate composition, phytochemical screening and mineral content studies of leaves extract of Adenanthera pavonina

Adenanthera pavonina belongs to the leguminous non-climbing plant, with a very prominent value in food chain and therapeutic medicine of traditional origin. The purpose this study was evaluate GC-MS analyzed methanolic leaf extract for proximate analysis, phytochemical screening mineral content determination order authenticate its nutraceutical propensity. leaves were collected, washed distilled water, dried under shed powdered. revealed presence alkaloids, saponin, flavonoids, carbohydrates, anthocyanin betacyanin, quinones, cardiac glycoside, terpenoids, triterpenoids, coumarin, steroids, acids while oxalates, phenol tannins absent. results analysis that plant possessed significant amount protein (8.050 ± 0.15% %), crude fiber (11.088 0.07%), moisture (7.135 0.18%), fat (0.8459 0.34%), carbohydrates (67.7911 0.85%), ash contents (5.09 0.11%), organic matters (94.91 0.93%) vitamin A (0.196). Quantitative on Mn (125.350 mg/kg), Fe (878.450 Ni (15.850 Cr Cu (11.950 Zn (24.500 K (0.721%), Na (0.074%), Ca (0.988%), Mg Magnesium (0.9 (0.730%). also showed cobalt, cadmium, lead could not be detected due detection limits instrument. Physicochemical spectral carried out using FT-IR identify each hypothesized structures correlated from spectroscopic data.
