This review integrated findings on the nutritional, pharmacological, and techno-functional properties of Leucaena seeds, highlighting their potential benefits and challenges for human nutrition, particularly due to the presence of the antinutrient mimosine, which can cause adverse effects.

This article reviews the toxic effects of mimosine in Leucaena leucocephala and discusses various methods to mitigate its toxicity but presents no new findings.

This study found that several local vegetables from Northern Thailand demonstrated significant antioxidant and 5α-reductase inhibitory activities, suggesting their potential for development into health-promoting products.

This study found that using 70% ethanol as a solvent for extracting unsoaked Leucaena leucocephala seeds produces a high extract yield while managing mimosine levels, indicating potential for nutraceutical use.

This study observed that smallholder cattle farmers in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia using leucaena as feed managed more cattle and focused more on fattening rather than breeding, but leucaena toxicity led to illnesses such as hair loss and, in a few cases, reproductive issues.
