Abstract
The aim of the present work is to study and compare the protein content in 25 accessions of ginger rhizomes collected from Kumaun and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand, India and correlation study with altitudes of different collection place. The analysis indicate significant differences in protein content of ginger rhizomes revealing the positive correlation between protein content versus altitude of collection place. Finally, the results provided evidence that ginger rhizomes from Kumaun region of Uttarakhand, India are good source of protein and could have wide utility in the food, agricultural, medicinal and pharmaceutical industries.
