275STUDIES ON BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN HEALTHY AND INFECTED GINGER (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE ROSCOE)The biochemical changes were studied from healthy and infected rhizomes of Zingiber officinale due to fungal infection. There was variation between healthy and infected rhizomes which showed significant changes with respect to content. The crude fibre, gingerols & shagaols, oleoresin, volatile oil, non volatile ether extract, alcohol soluble extract, cold water soluble extract, total ash, water soluble ash and acid insoluble ash content of infected plant reduced due to infection, starch content was only increased in the infected plant.choudhari.s.s@gmail.comResearch482013Biochemical changes,Ginger,Fungal infectionChoudhari SS,Kareppa BMDepartment of Botany, Dnyanopasak College, Parbhani, Maharashtra, India.,Department of Botany, Dnyanopasak College, Parbhani, Maharashtra, India.
