Screening of anticoagulant activity from aqueous extract of parkia speciosa pericarp / Nor-Fatin Aina Azmi

Parkia speciosa or commonly known as ‘petai’ by locals is one of the famous plants that is abundantly found in Malaysia. The seeds are usually eaten raw (as ulam) or cooked (Lim, 2012). However, peels or pericarp is usually the waste part of the Parkia speciosa seed. The waste product has not genera...
