Journal Title: Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Standardization of herbal drugs is the need of the hour as the use and practice of traditional herbal drugs and their formulations has increased tremendously. In the present study, an attempt has been made to standardize the fruits of Bhallataka as per pharmacopoeial testing protocol which include powder microscopy, physico-chemical screening, HPTLC fingerprinting and GC-MS analysis. Preliminary phytochemical tests indicate the presence of sugars, flavonoids, steroids, saponins, quinones and tannins. HPTLC profiling of the ethanol extract using Toluene/ Ethyl acetate (8: 1) as mobile phase revealed the presence of phytochemicals with different Rf values. The GC-MS analysis of the diethyl ether fraction showed the presence of 11 compounds of which five were identified.
