Summary of article contents:

Curcuma longa, Linn .- Haridra (Turmeric), an Ayurvedic herb is useful for treatment of Diabetes, Skin diseases, Jaundice, Menstrual disorders, Hematuria, Hemorrhage, and Colic pain Curcuma longa used in wide Varity of Ayurvedic formulations, a well known and main ingredient of Haridra khanda , an established antiictiric, antiallergic and anti inflammatory formulation indicated in Sheetapitta (Urticaria). Pharmaceutical industry, there exists a potential and growing market export for the herbal extract. Here an attempt has been made to standardize the aqueous extract of Curcuma longa in particular to Curcumin, Germplasm of Duggirala, Guntur district of Coastal Andhra Pradesh, a traditional turmeric belt, subjected for Standardization parameters viz. Physico–Chemical, Organoleptic and Chromatographic Analytical techniques. Analysis of the extract shows values of particle size through 40 mesh 100%, Loss on Drying 6.08%, pH 6.35, Water Soluble Extractive 87.04%, Alcoholic soluble Extractive 35.68%, Total ash 31.45%, Acid insoluble ash 3.08%, Bulk Density (gm/ml) 0.69 and Trapped density (gm/ml) 0.90. Heavy metal and Microbial values are also within the prescribed limits of Ayurveda Pharmacopeia of India. HPTLC graph shows peak value of the total height 381.5 and total area 4991.8. Rf (Retention fraction) value of Curcumin was 0.32. Estimation of Value of Marker Compound shows Curcumoids by Spectrometric Method and Gallic acid By HPLC method were 0.30% on d/b and 9.19% respectively. The HPTLC method was a simple, precise, specific, sensitive and accurate, used for routine quality control of mono herbal extract as well as a formulation.
