 ABSTRACT

Coriander is used all over the world as spice and flavouring agent due to its aromatic and medicinal properties. The seeds and green leaves of coriander are major source of phytochemicals. In the present investigation 23 genotypes of coriander were assayed for their natural source of total chlorophyll content, leaf protein content and ascorbic acid content. The aim of study was to determine which of coriander genotypes could provide better. From the study on mean performance of 23 diverse genotypes, results indicated that there were considerable variation in total chlorophyll content, leaf protein content and ascorbic acid content among genotypes. Among the genotypes, genotype RKC-26 I was recorded highest in total chlorophyll content (2.65 mg/g), genotype COR-56 was recorded highest in leaf protein content (4.6 mg/g) and genotype COR-38 was recorded highest in ascorbic acid content (151.23 mg/100g).

Keywords: Coriander, Total chlorophyll content, Leaf protein content, Ascorbic acid content.
