Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Background: Chyavanaprasa is classified under the group of Rasayana (Rejuvenator), where the main purpose is to maintain the body’s integrity for delaying the ageing process, enhances longevity and improves digestion. On account of increasing urbanization, the tendency is towards more and more dependence on readymade preparations. It is one of the most popular Ayurvedic OTC product purchased by the common public. Aim: The aim of the present study is to compare the organoleptic, physicochemical, biochemical, microbial parameters of various market samples and a classically prepared sample of Chyavanaprasa. Materials & Methods: Four market samples were collected by the month of July 2015, named MSCP1 (Market sample of Chyavanaprasa), MSCP2, MSCP3 and MSCP4 for comparative analysis. A standard sample named CP (Chyavanaprasa) was prepared and analyzed at Research and Development laboratory of Oushadi, The Pharmaceutical Corporation (I.M.) Kerala Ltd, Kerala. Results and Conclusion: Analysis revealed there is a huge variation in the organoleptic characters among different samples and none of the market samples comply with all the physico chemical parameters as per API. Microbiological evaluation of all market samples and prepared samples are within the limit of API values except MSCP1. CP shows the effective combination of ascorbic acid, carbohydrate, iron, protein and fat. HPTLC analysis shows the presence of ascorbic acid in all the samples. These analyses confirm the existence of quality issues in Chyavanaprasa marketed by various GMP Certified Companies and proves the need of standardization of market samples of Chyavanaprasa.
