Standardization and Evaluation of Ayursenso- Gel : An Ayurvedic Formulation
Abstract
Introduction: The Ayurvedic medical system has recently gained significant propulsion in India’s medical and healthcare sectors. To evaluate the quality, safety, and effectiveness of Ayurvedic medicines along with ensuring the standards and purity of herbal formulations are crucial. Nevertheless, pharmacopoeia testing is the required protocol for getting global acceptance. For the treatment of dental hypersensitivity this formulation was documented in the Ayurvedic classic Sharandhar Samhita and Gada Nighraha. This communication focuses on standardizing Ayursenso-Gel, an Ayurvedic compound formulation. The standardization and quality control of Ayurvedic formulations are imperative, safeguarding their quality, potency, purity, and authenticity. Present work deals with organoleptic properties, physio-chemical analysis, microbial limit test analysis, HPTLC test of Ayursenso-Gel. The manufactured medication has been standardized by adhering to the approved pharmacopeial protocol for the quality control procedures.
Results: All the parameters studied are within the limits and hence validate the safely and effectively use of gel. viz creamish color, semi solid liquid, odor pungent, taste bitter, feel-oily, Moisture Content @110°C - nil, pH value - 5.53, Acid Value - 3.16, Iodine Value - 8.3, Saponification Value - 23.7, Refractive Index - 1.472, Spread ability Test - 0.2142gm/cm2
Conclusion: On evaluation of the Ayursenso Gel and analyzing its organoleptic and physio-chemical property it is found that it meets all the standards of an ideal oral gel.
