Parkia biglandulosa W. & A. found growing in different parts of India is an underexplored species of Parkia genera. It is scarcely known for ethno-medicinal, food and nutrition potential, unlike other well-known Indo-Pacific and African species. In this study, the dry ripened pods, pulp and seeds were undertaken for physical and descriptive characterization. Further whole seeds (PBSF) and pulp (PBPP) powders were analyzed for proximate, physico-chemical, mineral content and functional properties. PBPP was found to have high crude fiber (17.64%) and ash content (5.86%), whereas, PBSF was found to contain high amounts of crude fat (20.37%) and crude protein (37.44%). PBSF was found to be high in magnesium (192.34 mg/100g), iron (6.06 mg/100g), zinc (6.86 mg/100g) and copper (2.11 mg/100g) and PBPP showed significantly major amounts of calcium (266 mg/100g) and potassium (1035.08 mg/100g). The results for functional properties showed significant differences between PBSF and PBPP. This is the first account about the nutrition and functional attributes of the pulp and seeds from dried pods of P. biglandulosa. This study highlights the potential utilization of this legume species to boost efficient processing and consumption and in addressing food and nutrition insecurity crisis.

评估Parkia biglandulosa W.和A.的物理，营养和功能属性：Parkia属的一种未开发的半野生树豆科植物

发现在印度不同地区生长的Parkia biglandulosa W.和A.是Parkia的一种未充分开发的物种属。与其他著名的印度太平洋和非洲物种不同，它几乎没有人种药用，食品和营养潜力。在这项研究中，采用干燥成熟的豆荚，果肉和种子进行物理和描述性表征。还分析了整粒种子（PBSF）和果肉（PBPP）粉末的近期，理化，矿物质含量和功能特性。PBPP被发现具有较高的粗纤维（17.64％）和灰分含量（5.86％），而PBSF被发现含有大量的粗脂肪（20.37％）和粗蛋白（37.44％）。发现PBSF中的镁（192.34 mg / 100g），铁（6.06 mg / 100g），锌（6.86 mg / 100g）和铜（2.11 mg / 100g）高，而PBPP显示出大量的钙（266 mg / g）。 100克）和钾（1035.08毫克/ 100克）。功能性质的结果表明PBSF和PBPP之间存在显着差异。这是有关干燥豆荚果肉和种子的营养和功能特性的第一个说明。P。biglandulosa。这项研究强调了这种豆科植物物种的潜在利用，以促进有效的加工和消费以及解决粮食和营养不安全危机。
