Seeds of Butea monosperma (Palash) and Ocimum gratissium (Bantulsi) were analyzed for their fixed oil, moisture ash, total organic matter, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur, Protiens and Calorie contents. High values of total organic matter in these seeds indicated the high nutritional quality of these seeds. Proteins were found to be 24.25% and 20.03% in the seeds of B. monospermaa and O. gratissium respectively. The seeds under investigation were found to be rich in essential amino acids. All essential amino acids, Leucin (15.9g / 100g protein and 8.2g / 100g protein), Phenylalanine (9.4g / 100g protein and 4.6g / 100g protein), Lysine (3.7g / 100g protein and 1.6g / 100g protein), Iso leusine (7.5g / 100g protein and 3.4g / 100g protein), Threonine (5.8g / 100g protein and 3.3g / 100g protein), Methionine (3.3g / 100g protein and 1.5g / 100g protein), Valine (9.4g / 100g protein and 4.2g / 100g protein), Histidine (11.3g / 100g protein and 6.6g / 100g protein) were found to be present in the seeds of B. monospermaa and O. gratissium respectively. Non essential amino acids viz. Asprtic Acid, Serine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Arginine, Alanine, Proline and Tyrosine were also present in the two seeds in varying amounts.
