Phytochemical study of seeds of Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC

Rajlaxmi Sharaff

This study examines the phytochemical composition and acute oral toxicity of a methanolic extract derived from Mucuna pruriens seeds. Using Soxhlet's extraction process, fresh, mature seeds were coarsely pulverized, shade dried at room temperature, and then extracted with metahanol. After that, a rotary flash evaporator was used to concentrate the extract, yielding semisolid crude extract with a yield of 09.534%. The phytochemical components of Mucuna pruriens seed extract were examined. The initial phytochemical analysis of the Mucuna pruriens seed extract identified the following compounds: starch, amino acids, carbohydrates, alkaloids, tannins, steroids, and resins.
