“…In most of the under developing countries, most of the peoples live under substandard condition as for as nutritional diet is concerned. According to the food security survey of South Asian Countries, India ranked 69th position (Singh et al, 2014). In India, the consumption of green leafy vegetables is very low and is much below the recommended allowances, therefore majority of the Indians do not get sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals present in leafy vegetables.…”

The biological value of leaf protein is depends upon its digestibility. The Concentrated form of leaf protein is called as leaf protein concentrates (LPC). It is less expensive and most abundant source of available protein and equivalent to most of the animal protein source. The use of leaf protein concentrates (LPC) for the human and animal consumption it is necessary to check its digestibility. In the present investigation, In Vitro comparative study of protein digestibility of leaf extract (LE) and leaf protein concentrates (LPC) of ten different wild and cultivated plant species has been carried out. The present experimental finding reveals that the protein digestibility of leaf protein concentrates (LPC) were found to be more (67% to 84% ) as compared to leaf extracts (60% to 80%).

This research was conducted to determine some phytochemicals and functional properties of pawpaw (Carica papaya L.) leaf protein concentrates obtained from three locations in Edo State, Nigeria. Pawpaw leaves were obtained from the University of Benin (location A), Oluku (location B) and Ekenwan (location C), and they were processed into leaf protein concentrates in triplicates using heat coagulation method. The resultant pawpaw leaf protein concentrates (PLPC) were analyzed for their phytochemical and functional properties. The results from the phytochemical analysis showed that tannin was absent in PLPC in all three locations. Saponin was high in location A, only present in location C, but absent in location B. Flavonoids and phytates were present in samples from all locations. In contrast, alkaloids and oxalates were absent in all locations. The results from the analysis of functional properties showed that protein solubility was highest in location B, having a value of 0.82 ± 0.07% and lowest in location A, having a value of 0.5 ± 0.02%. Water absorption capacity and oil absorption capacity were highest in location B, with values of 1.33 ± 0.15 g/g and 1.9 ± 0 g/g, respectively and lowest in location C, with values of 0.63 ± 0.07 g/g and 1.16 ± 0.38 g/g, respectively. The forming capacity and forming stability were highest in location A, having values of 22.49 ± 1.28% and 98.78 ± 0.62%, respectively and lowest in location B, with values of 8.77 ± 0.31% and 89.39 ± 9.37%, respectively. Fat emulsion capacity was highest in location C (45.32 ± 0.32%) and lowest in location A (37.47 ± 0.43%). Fat emulsion stability for all locations was 100%. The least gelation capacity for locations B and C had the same value of 16%, and that of location A had a value of 14.7%. The results obtained in this study suggest that pawpaw leaf protein concentrate has the potential as an alternative protein source for livestock and man.
