Recent studies have also emphasized the importance of medicinal plant seeds as a source of
bioactive peptides and functional proteins with pharmacological applications (Latif &
Nawaz, 2025). The seeds of Syzygium cumini L. rich in albumins and globulins and are
well known for their antioxidant and antidiabetic activities, which are attributed to a variety
of bioactive chemicals and protein fractions (Latif & Nawaz, 2025). The presence of high
levels of storage proteins, especially albumins, and its hepatoprotective and antibacterial
properties make Lawsonia inermis L. an important plant in traditional medicine (Kumar et
al., 2024). A number of protein components, including defense-related and enzymatic
proteins, have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties in the seeds of Calotropis
procera R. Br. (Tiwari et al., 2022). Ricinus communis L. seeds contain both toxic proteins
such as ricin and storage proteins such as globulins, but the seeds can be used medicinally if
properly prepared (Yang et al., 2023). The seeds of Linum usitatissimum L. contain
globulins and albumins and are used medicinally for their cardioprotective, antioxidant, and
anticancer activities, in part due to the composition of their proteins and related metabolites
(Zeng et al., 2024). Due to their intricate biochemical composition, Brassica juncea L
Czern., seeds contain antibacterial and chemoprotective compounds and high levels of
globulins (Yang et al., 2023). Research on storage protein albumin, globulin, prolamin,
and glutelin. of Apiaceae Family medicinal plant, seeds are valuable, nutrient sources of
seed proteins ,these seeds are utilized in home remedies to manage gastrointestinal issues
such as indigestion, flatulence, and colic pain, while also acting as flavoring, aromatic, and
preservative agents in food supplies (S.K. Khanzada et al. 2021), Bioactive proteins and
secondary metabolites like withanolides are reported to be responsible for the antidiabetic
and immunomodulatory properties of Withania coagulans Dun. seeds (Latif et al , 2025).
Storage proteins are also important from a nutritional standpoint, and seeds of Cucumis
melo var. agrestis Naudin. provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for
traditional therapeutic use (Kumar et al., 2024). They have been investigated as a source of
food and pharmaceuticals due to their biochemical composition, nutritional importance, and
