Present study aimed to examine the usefulness of Coriander (Coriandrum sativium L.) extract for elimination of heavy metal bioaccumulated in the whole body tissue of the experimental model animal gastropod snail Bellamya bengalensis (L.) The accumulation and elimination of mercury (Hg) was examined by exposing the snail Bellamya bengalensis(L.) to 0.173ppm (HgCl2) mercuric chloride with and without Coriander (Coriandrum sativium L.) extract for 7, 14, 21 days. After 21 days treatment the snails were allowed to cure naturally in normal water and with coriander extract up to 21 days separately. The whole body tissue samples were taken out after every 7 days for metal analysis. There was a gradual increase in heavy metal content with increase in exposure period for mercury. The concentration of mercury during depuration was found to be decreased with increase in period. However the recovery was faster in those which are treated with coriander extract as compaired to those which are allowed to cure naturally in normal water. The aim of present study was to highlight the antioxidation, heavy metal detoxification, elimination and chelating aspects of coriander.
