Gruhadooma Taila, physicochemical parameters , phytochemicalsAbstract
An attempt was made to assess the quality of Gruhadhooma taila which is used for Nasal polyposis (Nasarshas). Quality control parameters such as physico-chemical, microbial counts, and heavy metals were determined. In addition, phytochemical screening and development of Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) fingerprint for the Gruhadhooma Taila were carried out. Results revealed that the peroxide value, acid value, iodine value, saponification value, moisture content, and reflective index of the Gruhadhooma Taila were 13.4±0.8 milliequivalents/kg, 16.9±0.4 mg KOH/g, 62.4±0.4 % by mass, 193.1±1.2 mg KOH/g, 0.3% by mass, and 1.470±0.2 at 40 oC respectively. Moreover, micro-organisms (Mesophilic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans) and heavy metals (Hg, As, Pd, and Cd) were not detected. Eleven and fourteen spots were observed in the Thin Layer Chromatography fingerprint of the Gruhadhooma Taila before and after spraying vanillin sulphate respectively. Therapeutically important phytochemicals were found in Gruhadhooma Taila. In conclusion, an attempt was made to establish the quality control parameters of Gruhadhooma Taila for the first time in Sri Lanka.
