Abstract
The leaves ofCoriandrum sativum contain 51.4µg of betacarotene (85.6 IU) per gram and 361mg L-ascorbic acid per 100g on a dry weight basis. The vitamin C in the plant did not change significantly for three days when the cut stems were placed in water and maintained at a temperature of 17 °C. Cooking for 5 minutes lowered the vitamin C content in 4 and 10 volumes of water by 41 to 49% and 61 to 67%, respectively. Cooking for 10 minutes in the same amount of water increased the loss by a few percentage points.
