Abstract

The study was designed to explore the phytochemicals present in the aqueous seed extract of Sesbania
sesban (L) Merr. Sesbania sesban is a traditional and native plant of India. The aqueous extract of the plant seed
was subjected to qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis. The qualitative analysis revealed the
presence of many phytochemicals. Phenols, flavonoids, flavonols, tannins and condensed tannins were estimated
quantitatively and their values were found to be 28.10 ± 0.18mg /g (Gallic Acid Equivalent) & 33.69 ± 0.06mg/g
(Catechin Equivalent), 17.57 ± 0.10mg /g (Quercitin Equivalent) & 20.68 ± 0.09mg /g (Rutin Equivalent), 6.08 ±
0.21mg/g (Caffeic Acid Equivalent), 12.34 ± 0.07 mg/g (Caffeic Acid Equivalent) and 3.84 ± 0.11mg/g (Caffeic
Acid Equivalent) respectively. The primary metabolites such as total carbohydrates, total proteins and starch
were also estimated and recorded as 166.0 ± 10.07 mg/g, 25.6 ± 1.50 mg/g, and 147.6 ± 6.73 mg/g respectively. The aqueous extract was analysed with FTIR, which revealed the presence of potential functional groups. The
GCMS analysis revealed the presence of valuable phyto compounds with significant role in disease
