Abstract
Cajanus cajan is a tropical woody herb with yellow flowers and is a perennial plant belonging to the family Leguminosae. It is commonly known as Pigeon pea in English, “Fiofio in Igbo”, “Waken turawa” in (Hausa) and “Otili” in Yoruba Nigeria. It has a highly nutritious seed of the tropical Pigeon pea plant Luo et al. [1]. It has been cultivated in ancient Egypt, Africa and Asia. This plant was introduced in America and in other several tropical countries and it is mainly produced in India Mc Cuskey [2]. It is a nutritious non-toxic edible tropical legume with several desirable characteristics, widely used in Indian folk medicine for prevention of various liver disorders Luo et al. [1]. The pigeon pea leaf extracts may be valuable natural antioxidant sources and are potentially applicable in both medicine and healthy food industry Wu et al. [3].
