Aim: The aim of this study was carry out to determine phytochemical constituents, total polyphenols, flavonoids and dosing proteins of two Senegal flora plants: Faidherbia albida Del, Ziziphus mauritiana Lam, Place and Duration of Study: Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medecine, Pharmacy and Odontology (FMPO), Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar, between May 2024 and July 2024. Results: Extraction of 50 g of Z. mauritiana and F. albida leaf powder obtained yields of 21.18% and 20.76% respectively. The phytochemical screening showed the presence of polyphenols, flavonoids, Condensed tannins, Hydrolysable tannins, sterols and triterpenes and saponosids. However, alkaloids are only found in Z. mauritiana and anthracenosides are missing in both species. Leaf extracts from Ziziphus mauritiana and Faidherbia albida contained 26.30±1.78 and 30.32±0.37 mg EAT/g polyphenols respectively. Whereas for total flavonoids the values are respectively 26,91±0,16 and 39,69±0,12 mg ER/g. Extracts from the leaves of Ziziphus mauritiana and Faidherbia albida contain 13.00±0.14 and 23.97±0.07% protein respectively. Conclusion: Based on these results, Leaves of Z. mauritiana and F. albida would be a good candidate in the food industry, phytomedicine and toxicity could investigated for garanted their uses.
