Acacia is a genus belonging to the Fabaceae family and comprises about 135 species of trees which are widely spread throughout the arid and semi-arid tropics. There was no phytochemical investigation on A. Oerfota (Forssk) Schweinf seed growing wild in south of Iran. Hence the current study includes analyses of Chemical composition of A. Oerfota seed to evaluate its nutritive potential value as...

Browse tree legume leaves from Acacia spp (A. nilotica, A. tortilis, A. polyacantha), Dichrostachys sp, Flagea villosa, Piliostigma thonningii, Harrisonia sp were evaluated for nutritive potential (chemical compositions and degradability characteristics) compared to Gliricidia sepium. Effect of tannins anti-nutritive activity on digestibility was also assessed by polyethylene glycol (PEG) tanni...

Acacia nilotica, indigenously known as ‘Babool’ of family Leguminosae has many traditional and ethnobotanical uses. All the parts tree are important seeds most abundantly available which rich in different phytochemicals. Thus, aim this study was qualitative quantitative analysis phytochemicals evaluation antioxidant activity nilotica seed along with their viz. cotyledon endosperm a potential so...

Botanical metabolites are increasingly realized as potential replacements to chemical insecticides. In the present study, Acacia nilotica seed essential oil and seed pod solvent extracts were tested for bioefficacy against three important types of mosquitoes. Mortality was recorded 24 h post-treatment, while smoke toxicity of adult mosquitoes was recorded at 10 min intervals for 40 min. Seed po...
