Kaempferol and Stigmasterol content variations in diverse Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) seed varieties.
Abstract
The present study deals with the examining the various six varieties (Konkan Sadabahar, Poosa Kolum, PCP-97021, DCP-2, CP-20116 and CH-9863 ) of Vigna unguiculata (cow pea) seeds to find out the best source for Kaempferol and Stigmasterol content. The described study revealed the presence of maximum content of Kaempferol in Pusa Kolum(2.42%) whereas Stigmasterol was highest in CH-9863 variety(2.922%) among all samples used. Since both secondary metabolites are useful in the treatment of Alzheimer, these varieties can be used by pharmaceutical industries.
