Author(s): Shivprasad Mahadkar, Sujata Valvi and Varsha Rathod

In present investigation, ten wild edible plants viz. Ensete Superbum (Roxb.) Cheesuran, Gmelina arborea Roxb, Oroxylum indicum (L.),Vent, Bauhinia recemosa Lam. Caryota urens L, Smilax zeylanica L, Woodfordia fruticosa (L.) Kurz, Commelina benghalensis L, Garcinia indica (Du Petit-Thou.) Choisy, Zanthoxylum rhetsa (Roxb.) DC were studied for their antinutrional factors. The highest level of phytate was found in Ensete Superbum (0.12 ±0.02), Oxalate was highest in Smilax zeylanica (0.11±0.17) where as tannin was highest in Bauhinia recemosa Lam. and saponin is absent in all plants. The values of antinutrients in all above studied plants are below the toxic levels of antinutrients.
