Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Senna (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.) during the Rabi season of 2008 to 2009 in the Dusty Area of the Department of Crop and Herbal Physiology, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya. The experiment was carried out in a complete randomized design asymmetrical factorial with three treatments and three replications. C. angustifolia leaves were picked at three different stages of growth period viz. 90, 110 and 130 DAS (days after sowing) with different type of packaging material and storage period. The Sennoside A and B were determined by High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography. The Sennoside A and B content were found to be highest in leaf picking stage of 90 DAS followed by 130 and 110. Maximum contents of Sennoside A and B were estimated in black polythene followed by aluminum foil bag and transparent polythene. 

Key words: Senna, Cassia angustifolia, Sennoside A and B, leaf picking stage, HPTLC.
