Method: With help of reported composition and standard procedure, formulated Samasarkara churna was compared with market formulation. Efforts have been made to developed quality control parameters of Ayurvedic formulation Samasarkara churna by observing of organoleptic features, microscopical characters and physicochemical properties. Result: Ash values and volatile oil content of standard and test sample were found to be 4.75, 2.25 and 0.2% w/v and 0.3% w/v respectively. Crude fiber content, pH of 1% w/v solution of churna and loss on drying were found to be (0.11, 0.34), (6.24, 6.29) and (0.7, 0.8) respectively. Calculated extractive values confirms that water soluble contents are more in the Samasarkara churna. Discussion: After analysing samples of Samasarkara churna by different parameters such as total ash, water and alcohol soluble extractive values, lipid and volatile oil content, microscopic and phytochemical investigation showed reproducible results between batches. Conclusion: Parameters used herewith can be utilize for the evaluation and standardization of various polyherbal formulations.
