Abstract
The broad bean, Vicia faba, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the Fabaceae family of beans and peas. It is widely grown as a crop for consumption by humans and has an unclear origin. It serves as a cover crop as well. Broad beans have a high protein content, and contain dietary fibre, folate, and B vitamins. In this study, we characterized the biomolecules present in Vicia faba, This review deals with various biochemical techniques to isolate and identify proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. The results showed a diverse range of biomolecules, each with unique structures and functions that contribute to the plant’s physiology and biochemistry. Proteins are essential for various biological processes and amino acids are fundamental components found in broad beans. They contribute to the structure and function of proteins. Carbohydrates, particularly starch, were identified in the beans. Lipids were present in the form of phospholipids, glycolipids, and sterols, playing crucial roles in maintaining cell membrane integrity and signalling. Nucleic acids, DNA, and RNA, were found in all cells, carrying genetic information for the plant’s growth and development. This comprehensive characterization of biomolecules in Vicia faba provides valuable insights into its biochemistry and can serve as a reference for future studies on this important crop species. The study also highlights the potential functioning of the present biomolecules beneficial in the controlling of Parkinson’s Disease.
