Abstract: Parkia biglobosa is a plant widely used in Senegal as source of food. Seed as well as the pulp of the fruit are widely consumed by people. The objective of our work is to determine the total polyphenols content (TPC) and the total flavonoids content (TPC) of aqueous and organic solvents extracts of the defatted seed and the pulp of the fruit of Parkia biglobosa. Aqueous extracts are richer in polyphenols with TPC value of 3.00 ± 0.11 mg GAE/gfor pulp and 2.11 ± 0.09 mg GAE/g for defatted seed. Methanol extracts are richer in flavonoids with TFC value of 2.81 ± 0.44 mg QE/g for pulp and 4.22 ± 0.22 mg QE/g for defatted seed.....
