ANALYSIS OF ANTIOXIDANTS, PHENOLICS, PROTEIN AND PHYTOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS FROM SEEDS OF Leucaena leucocephala

Abstract: Leucaena leucocephala is a multipurpose plant, possess various bioactive compounds. Extraction processes play a vital role in optimization. This study aimed to find out maximum extractability of antioxidants, phenolics and protein using different aqueous, organic and their combination from seed. From the above study, the aqueous alkaline solvent is best as compare to other extraction solvents. GC–MS analysis was also carried out with methanol and acetone extraction of seeds to identify various bioactive compounds.
