Evaluation of physico-chemical analysis of laghu sutashekhara rasa

Introduction: Laghu sutashekhara rasa was prepared as per Rasatantrssara avam Sidha prayoga sangraha and efforts have been made to lay down analytical standards for laghu sutashekhara, which were not found reported till date. The parameter for standardization of laghu sutashekhara rasa are ,pH 7.6 , and disintegration time 22 min and dissolation time is 40 min, whereas hardness was 4 kg. Loss on drying was found to be 9.3% w/w, acid insoluble ash was 62.57 %w/w, water soluble extract was 42.95 % w/w and percentage of solubility is 18. Material & method: The aim of the present work is to standardization of laghu sutashekhara rasa and attempts to evaluate the Organoleptic characters, phytochemical study, phamacognostic study and physicochemical parameters like pH, Loss on drying at 105°C, Water soluble extract, Alcohol soluble extract, Total Ash, Acid insoluble ash etc. Result Results of organoleptic charcter, physical constant, elemental analysis ( XRD), phytochemical constituents & HPTLC contributes to establish standards for standardisation of laghu sutashekhara rasa. Conclusion: The phytochemical constituents & analysis of HPTLC reveals that the Laghu sutashekhara rasa contains most of the ingredients of all the raw materials. Results of organoleptic character, elemental analysis (XRD), phytochemical constituents & HPTLC contributes to establish standards for standardisation of laghu sutashekhara rasa.
