However, the leaves are believed to also contain an additional, unidentified toxin, [32] which might be an anthraquinone glycoside (also known as senna glycosides). [33] In the edible leaf stalks, the concentration of oxalic acid is much lower, contributing only about 2–2.5% of the total acidity, which is dominated by malic acid. [34]
