Abstract : Petroselinum crispum is a green biennial hedge plant which belongs to Apiaceae family indigenous to Europe and Western Asia. The work mainly focuses on the nutraceuticals potential of Petroselinum crispum leaf powder. The nutrient contains of the leaf power was determined by various methods and phytochemicals screening of the leaf extract was done by different procedure. Leaves of this plant are rich in carbohydrate, protein and fiber; and also rich in vitamin C, iron, zinc and calcium. The aqueous extract of leaves and flowers of Petroselinum crispum showed presence of steroids, alkaloids, phytosetrol, tannins and saponins. The protecting cause of plant is due to the presence of numerous elements such as carotenoids, flavonoids, galetin and phenolic compounds. The results record that leaves powder contains different types of nutrients and phytochmicals in it. Flavonoids like apigenin, chrysoeriol and quercetin are chief components in Petroselinum crispum plant that decrease the oxidative damage associated to cancer, aging, atherosclerosis, ischemic damage, soreness and neurodegenerative diseases. Leaves, seeds and roots of Petroselinum crispum are used as hepatoprotective, brain protective, anti-diabetic, analgesic, spasmolytic, immunosuppressant, anti-anemic, menorrhagic, anti-coagulant, anti-hyperlipidemic and many more diseases.
