Abstract:
Dolichos lablab Linn. is a species of bean in the family Fabaceae. In order to reveal the nutraceutical potential of indigenous plants it is essential to develop quality parameters of standardization. In present study, the dried powder of germinating seeds was extracted in nonpolar solvents and the extracts were subjected to GC-MS based investigation for phytochemical profiling. GC-MS served as an operative device for concomitant evaluation of phytoconstituents from the seed extracts. This work provides rapid, sensitive & specific detection of various phytoconstituents present in Dolichos bean, which can help in exploring the therapeutic potential of the plant. This work therefore uncovers the phytochemical profile of Dolichos beans emphasizing their nutraceutical properties against important human diseases.
