Luteolin and apigenin are naturally occurring flavones with a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties. In the present study, enzyme assisted extraction of luteolin and apigenin from pigeonpea leaves using commercial plant cell wall degrading enzyme preparations including cellulase, beta-glucosid...
