Glaucium flavum Crantz, commonly known as yellow horned poppy, is a biennial herb. This plant is a rich source of glaucine. Glaucine is a photosensitive compound. Glaucine amount was found to decrease with increase in storage durations and decrease was more pronounced in light. The data pertaining to the effect of various storage conditions and storage durations on glaucine solution in chloroform and ethanol reveals that the amount of glaucine decreases with increase in storage duration under both dark and light conditions. The decrease in glaucine amount is highest for 60 days (1.04mg) in glaucine solution in chloroform stored under light conditions and lowest (0.45mg) for glaucine solutions in ethanol stored under dark conditions. Maximum mean degradation of glaucine (10.32%) was recorded in Glaucine solution in chloroform in transparent glass bottles kept in light (S1) storage condition whereas minimum degradation of glaucine (4.65%) was observed under Glaucine solution in ethanol in glass bottles kept in dark (S4) storage condition.
