PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF CHLOROPHYTUM BORVILIANUM AND SAPINDUS MUKORROSSAI
AbstractThe study is aimed at the development of physicochemical parameters and to investigate the active principle present in Chlorophytum borvilianum and Sapindus mukorrossai. The present work embodies the investigations carried out to establish methods for quality control of drugs as per WHO guidelines: complete botanical evaluation which comprises of macroscopy, quantitative microscopy, powder microscopy, physicochemical parameters like loss on drying, extractive values, saponification value, total ash values, acid insoluble ash value, water-soluble ash value, pH value, loss on drying, bulk density and fluorescence analysis of powdered drug to investigate the phytochemicals present in the extracts in the preliminary level.
