Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr. Serr, family Rutaceae is an important medicinal plant and immensely used in the Indian System of Medicine to cure human diseases. Plant parts like ischolar_main, stem bark and fruit have been reported for various medicinal properties such as anti-diabetic, anticancer, anti bacterial, anti fungal, anti pyretic, analgesic, antioxidant, cardio protective, radio protective, anti-diarrheal, anti-dysentery, anti-ulcer, wound healing and many more. A. marmelos is commonly known as a bael in India. Chemo-profiling screening on different parts of A. marmelos plants revealed variations in phytochemicals within different parts of plant. The unique properties of the chromatographic fingerprint were validated by analyzing ischolar_main, stem bark and fruit of A. marmelos. Our results revealed that the chromatographic fingerprint combined with similarity measurement could efficiently identify and distinguish A. marmelos from the other investigated Aegle species. In this paper a new, simple method is proposed in which the TLC pattern of the extracts of ischolar_main, stem bark and fruit of A. marmelos content is used for effective and reliable quality control of the drug. The method can also be used for identification of different A. marmelos species. The proposed method uses cold-extraction then clean-up by solid-phase extraction before chromatographic analysis. The results revealed that the retention factor (Rf) of A. marmelos stem bark, ischolar_main and fruit furnishes a specific TLC chromatogram fingerprint which might be helpful for quality assurance and detection of adulteration of crude extracts. The ischolar_main, stem bark and fruit of A. marmelos L. were also physico-chemically standardized as per WHO specification.Keywords

Plant derived spices are generally used in foods for flavoring and medicinal purposes. Spices have been shown to possess medicinal value, such as antimicrobial activity, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory activity etc. Several spices particularly Tejpatta (Cinnamomum tamala), Souff (Foeniculum vulgare), Jeera (Cuminum cyminum), Methi (Trigonella foenum-graecum), Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi), Dhaniya (Coriandrum sativum), Kali Mirch (Piper nigrum), Kalonji (Nigella sativa) are used extensively in the Indian diet and in ayurvedic medicines. Development of standard procedure through HPTLC is a new approach which may lead to proper standardization of different spices and ayurvedic drugs based on fingerprinting characteristics. HPTLC Fingerprinting technique is widely employed in pharmaceutical industry in process development, identification and detection of adulterants in herbal product and helps in identification of pesticide content, mycotoxins and in quality control of spices and herbs. The study revealed specific identities for spices/herbal drugs taken which will be useful in identification and control to adulterations of the drugs.Keywords

Ayurveda, the science of life, deals with the holistic view of healthy living. It emphasizes on prevention as well as treatment of various disease conditions through holistic approach. Since ancient times, several diseases have been treated by administration of plant material based on traditional method and approaches. Investigation of traditionally used medicinal plants is thus valuable on two levels, firstly, as a source of potential chemotherapeutic drugs, and secondly, as a measure of safety for the continued use of medicinal plants. The seeds of Trachyspermum ammi Linn. are being used in traditional folk medicines for the treatment of various gastro-intestinal and inflammatory disorders. It is a bitter, aromatic, thyme like aroma warming herb, and possesses tonic, diuretic, and expectorant properties. It relaxes spasms, improves digestion, increases perspiration and is a strong antiseptic. Physicochemical studies on various parameters like total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, ethanol soluble extractive value, water soluble extractive value, loss on drying, pH, TLC reveal specific identities for the crude drug which will be useful in identification and help in controlling adulterations.Keywords
