Phytochemical and FT-IR spectral analysis of Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper and Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Legumes are considered as the prime source of proteins with desirable nutritional qualities. The qualitative phytochemical and FT-IR spectrum analysis of two different legume cultivators of Vigna mungo and Macrotyloma uniflorum were collected from Kanyakumari district, Tamilnadu. Qualitative phytochemical analysis shows the presence of various phytochemicals like protein, tannins, steroids, alkaloids, phenols, glycosides, saponins and carbohydrates. FTIR peaks showed the presence of alkenes, carboxylic acids and alkanes. Further, mechanistic studies on pharmacological evaluation are needed for development of active compounds from these legumes for the therapy and treatments.
