COMPARATIVE PHYSICOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF ASHWAGANDHARISTA FORMULATIONS: TRADITIONAL VS. MODERN METHODS
B. Vijay Babu , Dadasaheb Balpande College of Pharmacy, Near Swami Samarth Mandir, Besa, Nagpur, M.S., IndiaAbstract
Ashwagandharista, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation, is prepared using traditional and modern methods. This study aims to compare the physicochemical properties of Ashwagandharista formulations prepared by traditional and modern methods. Samples were collected from both traditional and modern manufacturing units. Physicochemical parameters such as pH, density, viscosity, total solid content, and ash value were evaluated according to standard procedures. The results revealed significant differences in various physicochemical parameters between the traditional and modern formulations of Ashwagandharista. The findings suggest that the manufacturing method significantly influences the physicochemical properties of Ashwagandharista formulations.
