In Ayurvedic text there is extract mentioned as Alua / Kumari Sara. Fig. 1 & 2: Cross sectional study of Aloe vera. Analytical Study The leaf of A. vera consists of two parts, the inner clear pulp and the outer green rind. Many of the beneficial effects of this plant have been attributed to the pulp, including both immune-stimulation and antiinflammation. It has been widely believed for several years that many of the beneficial effects of aloe leaf extracts lie in their carbohydrates. The thick fleshy leaves contain both cell wall carbohydrates, such as celluloses and hemicelluloses, as well as storage carbohydrates. The acetylated mannan is the primary polysaccharide in the pulp (inner clear portion of the leaf) and has been most widely studied. It has been claimed to possess many therapeutic properties, including immune stimulation. The leaf Aloe vera consists of two parts, the inner clear pulp and the outer green rind. Many of beneficial effects of this plant have been attributed to the pulp, including both immunestimulation and anti-inflammation. Analytical study is the application of a process or a series of processes in order to identify the chemical constituents and also about standards of the preparation. Hence, qualitative and quantitative study of a particular formulation should be carried out by the use of various parameters which helps in standardization and authentication of the drug, using the modern techniques and instruments. For maintaining the quality of drug (formulation) it is essential that the raw materials which are used are of required quality and the processes involved are followed correctly; so that the product manufactured will be a quality product. Hence, it is required to analyze the raw materials, and the finished product. For this study samples were collected from market and also prepared lab samples and named given as follows: Sample A Market Sample Sample B Market Sample Sample C Lab Prepared (Fresh) Sample D Lab Prepared (Heated) To find out the quality of seed drugs and to distinguish the closely related species of the same genus, they are subjected to the following parameters. 1 Physico-chemical parameters 2 Qualitative chemical tests. 3 TLC study. 4 HPTLC study. Physico-chemical Parameters According to the procedure mentioned in “Quality control methods for medi cinal plant material by WHO” the following physico-chemical constants are performed. (A) Determination of Foreign matter Plant drug should be free from moulds, insects, animal faecal matter and other contaminants such as earth,

Hari Krishna Shriwas et al. Analytical study of different samples of Aloe Vera Juice ISSN: 2456-3110 ORIGINAL ARTICLE April 2023 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | April 2023 | Vol. 8 | Issue 4 40 stones and extraneous materials. Foreign matter is material consisting of any one or all of the following: i Parts of the medicinal plant material or materials other than those named with limits specified for the plant material concerned. ii Any organism - part or product other than that the name in the specification and description of the plant material concerned. The amount of foreign matter present should not be more than the percentage prescribed in the monograph. Here the leaves are collected directly from herbal garden for A.vera juice and stored separately. Other samples of prepared gels are taken from market, so they are devoid of admixture of foreign or extraneous materials. Hence this test is not performed. (B) Loss on drying Presence of moisture in the crude drugs will enhance the growth of microbes, fungi and insects. This leads to deterioration and affects the preservation quality of the drug. Loss on drying is determined by weighing 10 gm of the juice of each sample in dried Petri dish and dried in an oven at 110°C till two consecutive weights are arrived, which do not differ by more than 5 mg. The weight after drying is noted and loss on drying is calculated. The percentage is calculated with reference to airdried sample. Determination of Extractive values (C) Water soluble extractives This parameter is done to have an idea about the amount of water soluble constituents present in a particular drug such as sugar, mucilage, glycosides, tannins etc. Water soluble extractive was obtained by following the same procedure as described for methanol soluble extractive. (D) Methanol soluble extractive 10 gm of liquid sample was macerated with 500 ml of methanol in a closed flask for 24 hours. The flask was shaken frequently during first 6 hours and allowed to stand still for 18 hours. The extract was filtered rapidly taking precautions against loss of solvent. 25 ml of the filtrate was evaporated to dryness in a dried, previously weighed flat bottomed shallow dish and dried at 105°C till constant weight. From the weight of the residue obtained, the percentage of alcohol soluble extractive was calculated with reference to the air dried drug. (E) pH value pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. It represents the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution. The pH of the filtrate of a particular concentration of an aqueous solution of the sample is often used as one of the parameters. 5 gm of the sample was taken and extracted with 100 ml of distilled water by keeping it aside for a period of 2 hours and by shaking it intermittently. Then it was filtered and the pH of filtrate was noted with the help of Elico's digital pH meter with combined glass electrode. Table: 1.0 pH ≤ 5.500 Specific gravity ≤ 1.003 Total solid content ≤ 1.732 Loss of drying % w/v ≤ 0.380 Alcohol soluble Extractive ≤ 3.800 Preliminary phytochemical investigations The chemical profile of the seed samples are known by performing some preliminary phytochemical tests [3] Qualitative Tests The crude extract of the samples can be qualitatively tested to confirm the presence of different type of constituents. Qualitative tests are used to detect the presence of functional groups, which play very important role in the expression of biological activity. Qualitative tests were carried out by using the methanol or water soluble extract of the samples. These tests indicate the type of phytochemical constituents present in the sample.

It is a valuable tool for quality assessment and evaluation of plant based drugs. The separations obtained through HPTLC have high resolutions. Compact starting spots allow a number of samples which may be applied to the HPTLC plate. It allows for the analysis of broad number of compounds both efficiently and cost effectively. More samples can be run in a single analysis thus reducing the analytical time. The same analysis can be viewed in different wavelengths of light there by providing a complete profile of the plant.

DISCUSSION Ayurveda has given the greatest emphasis on comprehensive knowledge of drugs including identification, procurement, processing, and preservation and dispensing of prepared drug under a broad heading known as Bhaishajya Kalpana . The basic processing techniques of Bhaishajya Kalpana are elaborately explained in Samhitas . They were called the Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana [6] But due to less shelf life, the need for preparing a formulation with a longer shelf life arose. During the last few decades considerable work in the field of natural products of pharmaceutical significance has been done globally. The development of science of phytopharmaceuticals and the hopes for remedies in chronic diseases generated a new enthusiasm in the research workers to develop herbal medicines. Approximately 150 pure chemical substances were isolated from some 100 species of higher plants and are used in medicines world wide. Herbal medicine has been enjoying renaissance among the customers throughout the world, however one of the impediments in the acceptance of the Ayurvedic formulations is the lack of standard quality control profile. The quality of herbal medicine, that is the profile of the constituents in the final product has implication in efficacy and safety. Due to the complex nature and inherent variability of the chemical constituents of the plant based drugs, it is difficult to establish quality control parameters and modern analytical techniques are accepted to help in circumventing this problem. Kumari Sawarasa is a herbal formulation used extensively in Ayurvedic system of Indian Medicine, as Cathartic, Prevent skin aging. Standardization of Ayurvedic formulation is the prime need of the current time. Many of them do not have uniform standards and analytical procedures to justify their quality and purity. Modern techniques such as HPTLC, HPLC, GC etc. can be used to develop the methods for the quantification of marker compounds in these types of multicomponent herbal formulations. Kumari Swarasa is the juice of Aloe vera mill. The standards mentioned in Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia are not adequate enough to ensure the quality of plant drugs or their formulations. Therefore, selected formulations were subjected to HPTLC study. In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of health professionals and

Hari Krishna Shriwas et al. Analytical study of different samples of Aloe Vera Juice ISSN: 2456-3110 ORIGINAL ARTICLE April 2023 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | April 2023 | Vol. 8 | Issue 4 44 therapists who have come regard using of the Aloe vera in abundance of its products available in market. Different agencies are enhancing the use of the Aloe vera in different ways as Juices, Gel and in Cosmetics and Beauty products. Aloe vera and products with aloe vera has increased dramatically and number of companies connected to aloe vera industries and most of industries have experience phenomenal growth in a short period, one often finds that demands can outstrip supply and this can lead to proliferation of products of lower quality being introduced to particular markets. There are some biological markers present in the drug which are responsible for the medicinal value and responsible for therapeutic activity, it can be state that these are the main constituents of drug. In aloe vera Aloin is reported as the biological marker. This is responsible for therapeutic activity along with other chemical constituents. So, in any Aloe formulation it should be present. In market there are abundance of products of Aloe vera are reported. But none of pharmaceutical company and other agencies are describing chemical profile of their product. Though there are some works reported on aloe vera, but no work has found reported on it for there active principle i.e., Aloin [7] This is when the need for nationally and internationally accepted standards is paramount. This is an age of globalization and the time has come for companies with products of unquestionable purity, quality and efficacy to take positive action to the activities of those manufacturers and supplier who do not meet the highest quality standards. When assessing the quality of an aloe vera product remember to consider these points. ▪ The quality and maturity of aloe vera plants used ▪ The age at which they are harvested ▪ The harvesting methods used Inner gel versus whole leaf According to Ayurvedic principals it mentioned that any plant should be use in as natural state as possible. Excessive filtration and concentration can affect the balance of the naturally occurring nutrients. The companies discard the rind whose products are based on the inner gel. By this process the two activities most likely to damage ▪ Destroy polysaccharides early in manufacturing process are firstly, exposure to the natural enzyme, cellulose and ▪ Secondly, the activity of bacteria. Both are present in aloe vera just under the rind or on the outer green leaf. So, it should be use along green rind part by using the effective filtration or other techniques. Present study shows clearly that Aloin which is the reported bio-marker of aloe vera effected by heat. Quantitative data received from HPTLC study shows this fact [8] The essential component! A loe vera must be “biologically alive” and must be in bio-available from if customers around the world are to experience the full scope and range of benefits from this plant. The only way that aloe vera can reach the customer in a fresh state and still be of the highest quality is if the raw inner gel is stabilized immediately. This stabilization process must also preserve and retain all the active ingredients without the use of any damaging chemicals or exposing to excessive heat. This kind of study correlates the Ayurvedic formulation with analytical studies. Which define the accurate results regarding the presence of bio-marker or other essential compound present in any kind of formulation. Also, this kind of study can be correlate with specific species of medicinal plants. Because plant species varies with their chemical constituents and from where it is collected and the harvesting process also varies the chemical constituents. This kind of studies confirm the quality of any market samples, which are sold in market as a crude form and they don’t label any chemical profile and plant description. So, by the quality control agencies run by Government should concern about these kind of

Hari Krishna Shriwas et al. Analytical study of different samples of Aloe Vera Juice ISSN: 2456-3110 ORIGINAL ARTICLE April 2023 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | April 2023 | Vol. 8 | Issue 4 45 products which are present in plenty in market. Because without chemical p rofile nobody can’t say about the presence of essential chemical constituents which are responsible for therapeutic activity of that drug. Especially for Ayurvedic formulations which are present in market need this kind of study which define the many aspects of the drug formulation like about plant species, harvesting method, processing methods etc. About the chemical changes and region wise plant occurring conditions and wild and cultivated plants (these days people are enhancing the medicinal plant cultivation and those are taken in pharmacy industries) it varies the chemical constituents. CONCLUSION So, on basis of this study it is concluded that: Aloe vera has used during the Samhita Kala for different purposes. The quality assurance of market products is must now a days. It should be sold as along chemical profile. Analytical study shows that following parameter may be present in the products of aloe vera juices. REFERENCES 1 Nicolson, Dan H. (1991).
