Abstract
Karisalai Karpa Choornam (KKC) is a Polyherbal formulation mentioned in Siddha to treat aging, liver disorders, immunodeficiency and general weakness. In this present study, preparation and extraction of polyherbal formulation using various solvents based on polarity was carried out. Fluorescence analysis of powder and different extracts under UV light and ordinary light were noted. Preliminary qualitative phytochemical analysis for different extracts shows the presence of carbohydrates, phytosterols, triterpenoids, saponins, tannins, phenolics and flavanoids. Physiochemical analysis such as Ash content, water soluble ash, acid insoluble ash, sulphated ash, pH, moisture content were studied to evaluate the purity and quality of the formulation. Physical characteristics like bulk density, tapped density, angle of repose and carr’s index also performed to find out flow property of the formulation. The results of this study could be used as a diagnostic tool for the standardization of the polyherbal formulation.
