چکیده
Chandrakanthi Chooranam, a siddha sastric herbomineral formulation comprises of 25 ingredients. Literature review evidenced no standardization work so far. Authors aims to investigate various analytical standardization parameters such as physicochemical standards, preliminary phytochemical analysis, Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) photo documentation, High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) finger print profiles, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) analysis, heavy metal determination, pesticide residues, mycotoxins, safety evaluation as microbial contamination were evaluated for this herbomineral formulation. Phytochemical analysis showed that it contains amino acids, steroids, triterpenes, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, anthraquinones and saponins. ICP-OES analysis for heavy metals were found to be below detection level and the content of nutritional elements calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and copper were found to be 6482.9, 1870, 988.6, 21.98, 8.09 ppm respectively. The formulation is free from microbial contamination. Pesticide residues and aflatoxin were found to be absent.
