ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERS, PHYSIOCHEMICAL AND PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THRIKADUGU, PARANGIPATTAI AND MASIKKAI CHOORANAM
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
AIM: The aim of the study is to evaluate Organoleptic characters, Physiochemical parameters and to screen the phytochemicals present in three Siddha formulations – Thrikaduku chooranam (TKC), Parangipattai chooranam (PPC), Masikai chooranam (MSC).Thrikadugu chooranam is widely used for fever due to multiple etiology, Parangipattai chooranam is indicated for all types of skin diseases and MSC is prescribed for gastric ulcer and any bleeding disorder. Method: Initially, organoleptic characters like appearance, colour, taste and odour of three siddha formulations were noted. Three samples were screened for total ash value, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash to estimate the quality of study drug. Each extraction of the sample was taken by dissolving the 4gram of respective sample with 40 ml of water and heated it in water bath. Then filtered and used the filtrates for testing. Preliminary Phytochemical test was done following the standard procedure. Each sample was tested for 12 phytochemicals. Results: The results of physiochemical analysis of TKC, PPC, MSC were found within normal limits. The results showed presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, phytosterols, phenols, flavonoids, proteins and amino acids, diterpenes, gum and mucilage and quinones for TKC, Presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, saponins, phytosterols, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, gum and mucilage and quinones for PPC, Presence of saponins, phytosterols, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, proteins and amino acids, diterpenes, and quinones for MSC.
