Abstract

ABSTRACT

The present study was designed to evaluate quality profile of Indian polyherbal formulation, chyawanprash and to find new additional parameters and methods which may be considered for its quality control. Different marketed formulations of Indian chyawanprash were assessed for their morphological, phytochemical and physicochemical properties. The data analysis revealed that physicochemical parameters were within the limits as per the Pharmacopoeial standards. However, there was a significant variation among chyawanprash preparations. Most of marketed brands of Indian chyawanprash were well within the limit but there was also significant difference in some parameters among chyawanprash preparations. Therefore the present investigation reveals that there is a need to make more stringent quality control parameters in order to reduce variation among different Indian chyawanprash preparations.

Keywords: Polyherbal formulation, morphological, phytochemical, physicochemical properties, marketed brands, quality control parameters.
