Estimation of protein content in Lens culinaris, Vigna unguiculata, Dolichos biflorus and Phaseolus vulgaris seeds using ultraviolet visible spectrophotometry

The present study was carried out to estimate the total amount of secondary metabolites (protein) in four important valuable medicinal plants, viz. Lens culinaris, Vigna unguiculata, Dolichos biflorus and Phaseolus vulgaris using ultraviolet visible spectrophotometry. The result decribed that the all four seeds belonging to family Leguminosae have sufficient amount of protein which prove all four of them possess high nutritive values..
