Abstract

Coriandrum sativum belongs to family Apiaceae. It is a species of Bihar and it is cultivated for several purposes such as medicinal, cooking and cosmetics. This plant is highly aromatic and has multiple use in food and in other industry. The powdery mildew disease alters the normal metabolism which is expressed by virtue of the changes. The present study was aimed to investigate some biochemical strategy of mildew infected Coriandrum sativum Linn. ofBhojpur District (Bihar). This study shows the comparative value of (i) % protein (ii) Ascorbic acid mg / 100 g (iii) phenols. In severe infection the average value of protein, Ascorbic acid and phenols are 5.68%, 6.704 mg/ 100 g and 739.93 microgram/ g respectively.
