Keyword(s):
The chemical characterization of the leaves of Sesbania grandiflora were carried out in a quest to evaluate its bioactive potential to cure diseases and its potential as a source of alternate medicine. Fresh leaves of S. grandiflora were collected and powdered for analysis. The proximate analysis of the leaves showed that the proportion of moisture content, volatile matter, ash content and fixed carbon were 5.16%, 67.4%, 17.64%, 9.8% respectively. The results of FTIR revealed the strong bonds between C-H, C-O, C=O, C=C, S=O and N-H in the plant material. Moreover the result of TGA depicts that the highest weight loss occurred at temperature of 486.64° C with a degradation rate of 10.00 K/min in combustion conditions.
