Abstract
The study was to evaluate the nutritional value of Lablab purpureus with particular emphasis on phytochemical, proximate, vitamin and mineral analyses were investigated. The vegetable part was qualitatively analyzed for the presence of phyto-compounds which indicated the presence of various phytoconstituents like terpenoids, alkaloids, phenols, steroids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and amino acids. Proximate analysis indicated the presence of moisture content, ash, crude fibre, crude lipid, protein and carbohydrates in which high moisture and protein content. Vitamin analysis indicated the presence of Beta carotene, ascorbic acid, vitamin E and thiamine. In vitro analysis of the antidiabetic effect of ethanol extracts of the vegetable part of Lablab purpureus and tested for % inhibition of α - amylase and % inhibition of α glucosidase activity by DNSA method was also carried out. The extracts showed maximum inhibition of α amylase and α glucosidase activity and possess maximum antidiabetic property. Mineral analysis was performed using XRF analysis, which indicated the presence of phosphorous, potassium, iron and copper. HPTLC analysis was performed which indicated the presence of quercetin. The presence of high secondary metabolites and mineral content in the vegetable part are good indication that if the vegetable part is subjected to further research novel compounds may also be identified.
