Estimation of TLC profile of Chywanprash (A poly herbal formulation) along with identification and quantification of Physico-chemical contents

Abstract

The study was carried out with three different samples of Cyawanaprash avaleha (A poly herbal medicine) for determination of quality and their standardization through Physico-chemical parameters and their analysis. All the samples were analyzed by employing standard analytical parameters. Three sets of criteria of studies were taken into account 1. Physical characteristics such as colour, odour, taste, touch 2. Physical constants such as Loss on drying, Total ash, Acid Insoluble ash, Extractive value in different solvents (Ethyl alcohol, Methanol, Water, Xylene, Haxane, Petroleum ether) along with TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) and 3. Chemical constituents for both qualitative and quantitative were carried out.
