Three batches of Shirisharishta were prepared by using Twak (bark), Kastha (sapwood) and Sara (heartwood) of Shirisha, following classical method and analyzed. The pharmaceutical analysis revealed that the Shirisharishta prepared by Sara (heartwood) showed earlier onset and completion, better fermentation, 17 % more yielding, pleasant aroma and more alcoholic than others. The average pH was observed 4.74, 4.56 and 4.45 respectively in Shirisharishta prepared by bark, sapwood and heartwood and alcohol percentage was observed 3.93, 3.64 and 4.96 respectively. The HPTLC analysis was carried out to develop a fingerprint profile for the formulation. HPLC analysis showed the presence of epigallocatechin gallate, piperine and curcumin in all the three samples but maximum of their presence of percentage in heartwood preparation of Shirisharishta. |
