Cereals and pulses are the rich sources of protein and energy and thus hold an important place in human diet mainly in developing countries. In present study, pod coats of locally grown pulse crops (cowpea, mungbean and mothbean) were tested for various phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity. Pod coats of these pulse crops were extracted with three solvents (acetone, ethylacetate and chloroform) and tested for total phenols, flavonoids, tannins, tocopherols and DPPH free radical scavenging activity. | Assessment of pod coats for the study of antioxidant prospective in cowpea, mungbean and moth bean
