Introduction. This study aims to analyze the amino- and fatty acid composition of Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC. seeds using various analytical methods. The findings will support the development of a biologically active composition with potential applications in pharmaceuticals. Objectives. The study focuses on evaluating the amino- and fatty acid composition of Canavalia ensiformis seeds. Methods. Seed quality assessment was performed in accordance with the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Canavalia ensiformis seeds were extracted and subsequently fractionated using solvents with progressively increasing polarity. Chromatographic methods, including HPLC and GC-MS, were employed to analyze the amino and fatty acid composition. Results and Discussion. An optimal solvent was selected for the extraction process. The fatty acid composition was assessed through methylation, and a comparative analysis of amino acids in the butanol and aqueous extracts was conducted. Conclusion. The results provide a comprehensive understanding of the composition of Canavalia ensiformis seeds and offer insights into their potential use in developing biologically active compositions. This research holds significance for the pharmaceutical industry, as it opens new avenues for creating plant-based drugs with possible therapeutic benefits.
