Bottle gourd leaves are widely used as animal feed in India. Consumption among the human beings, especially in low income group people are also found. But many of the leafy vegetables contain oxalate which may have hindering effect on the absorption of some important minerals like Calcium, Iron etc in human body. In this present study total oxalate content of bottle gourd leaves (Lagenaria siceraria) has been estimated by permanganate titration method. The result shows that the oxalate content of bottle gourd leaves (Lagenaria siceraria) is 49.086mg/100gm. The oxalate contents of some of the common leafy vegetable are also compared to the bottle gourd leaves (Lagenaria siceraria). From this study it may be concluded that oxalate content of bottle gourd leaves is much lower than that of other leafy vegetables.Downloads
