Analysis of LEAF Protein Concentrate (lpc) from Green Foliages of Leguminous CROP Plants

In the present study analysis of Leaf Protein Concentrate (LPC) from green foliages of Leguminous crop plants It has been now well established that the process of Green Crop Fractionation (GCF) can be employed for the preparation of feed grade pressed crop residue (PCR) and food grade leaf protein concentrate (LPC). With GCFF the efficiency of utilizing plant nutrients increases. Out of the total proteins synthesized in leaf only 25 to 30% proteins are transported and stored in the grains. The remaining proteins are lost during transportation. Thus only 1/3 of the proteins synthesized by the leaves can be utilized for human consumption. In conclusion it can be said that for more efficient use of plant nutrients for human benefit, each and every plant or plant parts has to be used carefully.In this context the preparation of LPC from the leaves, instead of throwing them at random, will be a best alternative to make available more and more edible protein for human consumption.
