A systematic
search for useful bioactivities from medicinal plants is now
considered to be a rational approach in neutraceutical and drug
research. In this unfolding scenario, it is necessary to develop ways

value of C. odorata showed that it has good potential for feeding
livestock due to its high crude protein (CP), low fibre and low
extractable phenolic contents.
