Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of different packaging material on dehydrated fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) leaves†was aimed to utilize proper packaging material for storage of dried fenugreek with higher nutritional and sensory quality. Experiment was conducted for packaging of dehydrated fenugreek leaves with using different packaging material viz. P1- Low Density Polyethylene Pouch (LDPE), P2- High Density Polyethylene Pouch (HDPE), P3- Aluminum Laminated Pouch, P4- Glass Bottle and P5- Plastic Bottle. The results of the present investigations indicate that dried fenugreek leaves packaged in glass bottle was rated as the best packaging material for storage of dried fenugreek leaves on the basis of higher sensory score as well as nutritional composition and also exhibited minimum changes in nutritional as well as sensory quality during forty five day of storage. Thus, prepared dried leaves of fenugreek or other produce can commercially be packed in glass bottle for better returns to growers and processors as well as to ensure retain consumer quality and acceptance.
