The proximate, phytochemicals, volatile organic compounds and mineral compositions of Lageneria breviflora seeds were evaluated in this study using standard methods. The results showed appreciable amount of nutrient. Proximate composition showed that the seed contains 54.87% carbohydrate, 15.37% fat and 3.65% crude protein. Anthocyanin (77.55µg/g) had the highest concentration among the phytochemicals present. Majority of the phytochemicals that were predominantly present were of flavonoid class. Oxalate, tannin, and alkaloid were found in appreciable quantities. The following volatile organic compouds were detected acetone, acetic acid, butanal, formaldehyde, methane, benzene, xylene, toluene, and monoterpenes. The analysis of the mineral showed appreciable amount of minerals with magnesium having the highest amount(15.263ppm). Lageneria breviflora seed is a potential source of important nutrients and pharmacological compounds.
