*Priyanka Pandharmise, Dhnyaneshwar Bhadange and Deepak Koche
ABSTRACT
Crotalaria is a herbaceous genus from Leguminosae group (family- Fabaceae), mostly found in wild. Proximate analysis comparising protein, carbohydrate, crude fiber and crude lipid content of five species of Crotalaria was done. It was noted that all samples have significant amount of proximate content, especially protein and carbohydrate. The range of protein content was 16.65±0.15% to 22.15±0.12%) while that of carbohydrate was 52.16± 0.07% to 65.62± 0.09%. The contents of crude fiber and crude lipids were also significant in all analyzed samples. All the seed materials were also found to have sizable amount of minerals, especially C. juncea and C. verrucosa. Therefore it is suggested that all five species of Crotalaria could be used as food or fodder to meet their nutritional needs.
