%X The content of
chemical compounds of two leguminous plants (<i>Alysicarpus ovalifolius</i> and <i>Indigofera
pilosa</i>) was given through chromatographic methods (HPLC) and
spectrocolorimetry. The principal isolated compounds are: <i>¦Â</i>-Carotene in the sheets, the vitamin B in the roots and the vitamin C in
the pods. Trace elements are not also insulated in the two plant species. The
results show a content iodine (0.27 mg/100g of sample) particularly high in the
stems of <i>Indigofera pilosa</i>,<i> </i>what could explain the use of the plant
to fight against the thyroid dysfunctions. The ratio iron in mg/100g of sample
114.14 is rather important and would make <i>Indigofera
pilosa</i> a palliative against anaemia. The two plants would be indicated in
cases of treatment of hypocalcaemia.
