Abstract

Fabaceae family is third largest family in world. It is also known as the legumes, pea, bean, or pulse family. It is also a vital family of flowering plants. The family is divided into six sub-families: Caesalpinioideae, Cercidoideae, Detarioideae, Dialiodeae, Duparquetioideae, Faboideae or Papilionoideae. Legumes are essential for human nutrition which consists proteins, minerals, calories and vitamins. It is also known as grain legumes because they are edible. Legumes are used for crops, manures and forages. It is also used in nitrogen fixing by the help of bacteria Rhizobium, it shows symbiotic relationships with each others. Fabaceae family consists several phytoconstituents such as Flavonoids, Saponins, Alkaloids, Phenols, Tannins, Glycosides, Terpenoids etc. The present review paper emphasis on 25 plants of Fabaceae family. The plants are mentioned with which plants parts are used by using of various solvents with their presence of phytoconstituents.

Introduction

Fabaceae family is known as the legume, pea, bean, or pulse family and it is a large and economically important family of flowering plants. The name ‘Fabaceae’ comes from extinct genus ‘Faba’ which is included in ‘Vicia’ (Asfaw et al ., 2021). It is the most common family found in tropical rainforests and in dry forests in the Americans and Africa (Rahman et al ., 2014). Fabaceae is the third largest family of plants in the world having approximately 19,500 species and 770 genera (Maroyi, 2023). Astragalus with 2400 species, Acacia with 950 species, Indigofera with 700 species, Crotalaria with 700 species, and Mimosa with 500 species are largest genera which contain approximately 9.4% of all flowering plant species (Ahmad et al ., 2016). The family is divided into six sub-families that is Caesalpinioideae (148 genera and 4400 species), Cercidoideae (12 genera and 335 species), Detarioideae (84 genera and 760 species), Dialiodeae (17 genera and 85 genera), Duparquetioideae (monotypic genus), and Faboideae or Papilionoideae (503 genera and 14000 species) (Maroyi, 2023). Fabaceae family are trees, shrubs, sub-shrubs, woody lianas, climbing annuals, herbs and aquatics. Leaves are compound, double compound or trifoliolate and sometimes it have swollen leaf base. Flowers are asymmetric, bilaterally symmetric or radially symmetric and bats, birds, insects pollinate them. Usually fruit is two-valved, dehiscent pods, rarely freshly but can occasionally indehiscent and split into two segments and its ovary is superior with one locular (Maroyi, 2023). Legumes are vital to human nutrition for their rich sources of proteins, calories, minerals and vitamins. In Afro-Asian dietary practices, legumes serve as the primary sources of protein and calories, influenced by both economic factors and cultural traditions. Legumes are also known as grain legumes because they are mainly grown for their edible seeds. Grain legumes are used as pulses (dhal) with cereals and are cultivated in both tropical and temperate regions in worldwide. They increase the protein content of cereal-based diets and may enhance the overall nutritional quality of these diets. Cereal proteins are lack in certain essential amino acids, especially lysine. Conversely, legumes are known to provide sufficient levels of lysine; however, they are low in sulfur-containing amino acids such as methionine, cystine, and cysteine (Iqbal et al ., 2006). Legumes are used as crops, forages and green manures. It also synthesize a huge range of natural products such as flavours, drugs, poisons and dyes. Legumes are useful for plants for converting atmospheric nitrogen to nitrogenous compounds (Patel et al ., 2014). It is done by the bacteria of the genus Rhizobium which is present in the root nodules. Here both bacteria and legumes developed symbiotic relationship so they are able to fix free nitogen for plants and in return legumes are able to provide fixed carbon which is produced by photosynthesis (Ahmad et al ., 2016). Because of fixing atmospheric nitrogen for protein synthesis its foods have their own nutritional value (Asfaw et al ., 2021).

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Phytoconstituents:

Phytoconstituents are naturally occurring, biologically active substances that can be found in plants that promote human health by serving as nutrients and therapeutic substances. Phytoconstituents are founds in various parts of plants like in root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit and seeds. Phytoconstituents are classified into primary and secondary metabolites, on the basis of their role in plant metabolism. Primary metabolites are common sugars, amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, chlorophylls etc. Secondary metabolites are alkaloids, terpenes, flavonoids, lignans, plant steroids, curcumins, saponins, phenolics, and glucosides (Koche et al ., 2016).

CONCLUSION

Fabaceae family is known as pea, bean, pulse, or legumes family which is the third largest family in world wide. Legumes are essential for human nutrition and it is used in crops, manures and fodders. Legumes are also used for fixing of nitrogen. Fabaceae family consists several secondary metabolites. Even as per review various plants of Fabaceae family are present here by using of many solvents for extraction process to identified the presence of bio-active compounds in parts of plants.
