Its all parts have various parmaceutical and medicinal importance. Plant materials i.e. bark, flowers, leaves and pods of Prosopis cineraria were collected and extracted with hot methanol by refluxing method. The respective extractives were divided into two parts. One major part was subjected to column chromatography which affored a total twenty-two compounds. Bark column contained four compounds namely, 24- methylenecycloartan-3-one, Lupeol, 5,7,4‟-trihydroxy-3‟-methoxy flavanone and β- Sitosterol while six compunds namely, Hexacosane, Tetracosyl tetracosanoate, 1- triacontanol, Patuletin, Bis (cis-13-docosenamido) methane and β- Sitosterol from flowers of P.cineraria. leaves afforded eight compounds namely, 1- Heptacosanol, 1- Nonadecanol, Stigmasterol, nonacosane-15-one, 1- tetracosanoic acid, β- Sitosterol, 3-O-methoxy-D-Glucose and 13- docosenamide. Four compounds namely, 1-heptatricontanol, 3,8,8-trimethoxy-3-piperidyl- 2,2‟binaphthalene-1,1‟,4,4‟-tetrone, β- Sitosterol and Catechin were isolated from pods of Prosopis cineraria. Various phytochemical activities like total phenolic content, total flavonoids, mineral contents and phenolics interaction with protein were evaluated from methanolic extract and their fractions. Total phenolic contents were found to be maximum in methanol fraction of pods of Prosopis cineraria while acetone fraction of pods contained maximum total flavonoid content. P. cineraria possessed mineral content in trend of N> P> K> Fe> Cu> Zn> Mn. Acetone fraction of pods part was found to be maximum protein binding capacity at highest concentraction (10μg/μl). It was significantly showed that P. cineraria has nutritionl and digestible value of various fractions by stepwise increased in the percentage activity at different concentrations.ennullThesis
