STANDARDIZATION AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF AVIPATTIKAR CHURNAM BY UV SPECTROSCOPY

Abstract

A rapid and sensitive U.V. visible spectroscopic method was developed for the estimation of Gallic acid in Avipattikar churnam and its ingredients were monitored at 271 nm with U.V. detection and there was no interference of diluents found at 271 nm. The method was found to be linear in the range of 2 -7 mcg/ml. The accuracy and precision were determined and validated statistically. The method was validated as per International conference on harmonization [ICH] guidelines. The results showed that proposed method is suitable for the accurate, precise and rapid for the determination of Gallic acid content.
