Material and methods: Drakshadi syrup a poly herbal formulation was prepared and subjected to pharmacopeial procedures for analysis of organoleptic, physicochemical, phytochemical and fingerprinting for standardization.
Observation and result: Findings are pH (Direct) 3.18, Specific gravity 1.399, Refractive Index 1.487, Viscosity (Ostwald) 664.79 cP, Loss on Drying 18.27%, and Total Ash 0.096%, Acid insoluble ash 0.00%, Total solids 81.72%, Total Sugar 78.10, Total Tannin 1.64% and Iron content 0.41%. A test for functional group shows presence of carbohydrates, reducing sugar, tannin, flavonoids, and steroids in DrakshadiSyrup.
