Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Aim: To standardize seeds of Shitivarak (Celosia argentea var. Spicata) . Materials & Methods: It is a pharmacognostical and physico- chemical study that includes collection , procurement, authentication, panchabhautikparikshan, preparation of sample , foreign matter, moisture content, total ash, extractive study (aqueous and solvent),TLC etc. Results: The standardization of Shitivarak (Celosia argentea var. Spicata) Beej Churna was performed by pharmacognosticaland physico- chemical study. No standardization work of Celosia argentea seeds present in API, therefore standard values are not available to compare. These values of standardization can be used for further studies. Conclusion: According to classical text, morphological characters and organoleptic examination, plant shows the correct taxonomy. But there are not references to compare so these observations and result will be useful for the correct botanical identification and authentication of the drug.
