Abstract
: Sesbania grandiflora (L) Pers, commonly known as Agasthya is an Indian medicinal plant which belongs to family Fabaceae. The present study intended with various phytochemical screening, estimation of secondary metabolites and Nutraceutical value of leaf extract. The phytochemical test undertaken revealed the presence of Phenols, Flavonoids, Alkaloids, Steroids, Saponins, Glycosides and Terpenoids. Sterols content (37%) was found maximum followed by Flavonoids(18%), Cardiac Glycosides(16%), Phenols(13%), Terpenoids(11%), Tannins(4%) and Alkaloids(1%). The Nutraceutical value with respect to estimation of Primary metabolites (Carbohydrates and Proteins) and Elemental analysis was done. The total carbohydrate content was found to be maximum (162mg/100g), proteins (144mg/100g), Fructose(1.4mg/100g), and the Starch (1.08mg/100g). The Elemental analysis was carried out by AAS method, calcium found highest (12.4497ppm) and least (0.0073ppm).
