Abstract
A qualitative determination of the nutritional and chemical composition of Albizia lebbeck, an underexploited legume in Nigeria, was carried out. The results showed that A. lebbeck seeds were rich in crude protein and carbohydrate but low in lipid content. Phytochemical screening of the seeds revealed the presence of saponins and oxalate, while tannins, cyanogenic glycoside and phytic acid levels were low. It is suggested that the seeds of this plant may serve as a cheap source of protein and carbohydrate in food supplements for animals.
