Stability study of Bhringraj Vati & Triphala Gugulu - With respect to baseline microbial diagnostic modalities

Abstract

In last a few decades, market of herbal and traditional medicines have grown up leap and bound. The main drawback of traditional medicines is a lack of stability. Hence the present Study was carried out to observe the stability of Bhringraj Vati (Eclipta alba Hassk) & Triphala Gugulu with respect to its stability against microbial contamination of sample prepared and store in different climatic conditions and temperature. Sample of Bhringraj Vati & Triphala Gugulu were prepared and studied to check microbial contamination at regular time intervals. A baseline Microbial profile was studied at regular interval of 1 month for total 7 months (i.e. time for consumption of prepared drug). Every time sample was subjected to the microbiological study from the date of the preparation to the date of last microbiological study. In microbiological study of both the drugs, there were no growth found of micro-organisms (bacterial or fungal) till26th Feb 2019 i.e. 268 days from the date of preparation, shows its stability and good shelf life. Hence in present study the stability test of Bhringraj Vati & Triphala Gugulu with respect to microbiological findings was negative at room temperature, warm and cold, dry and humid conditions.
