Abstract:

Background: Standardization of Triphala Juice was performed by using the WHO Guidelines. The Parameters included Preliminary Analysis, Phytochemical Identification, Heavy Metal Estimation, etc. A new simple, specific, precise and accurate UV Spectrophotometric, High-Performance Liquid.

Methods: Chromatography and High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography method has been developed for the Estimation of Gallic Acid in pure form.

The UV- Spectrophotometric method was developed using Schimadzu 1800 UV - Visible spectrophotometer using methanol as a solvent. The method was shown to be linear, with a detection wavelength of 273 nm for Gallic Acid.

The separation was achieved on the Schimadzu Prominence-I RP-HPLC and the column used was C18 column using mobile phase consisting of mixture of Methanol: 0.1% OPA (50:50). The detection was carried out at 280 nm with a flow rate of 0.7 ml/min. The retention time for Gallic Acid was found 3.89 minutes. The calibration curve was found linear (r² = 0.999) for RP- HPLC method.

The HPTLC method was developed using Aetron Sprayline instrument, Methanol as solvent and mobile phase consisting of Toluene: Ethyl Acetate: Formic Acid: Methanol (3:3:0.9:0.2). The method was found linear and the wavelength of detection for Gallic Acid was 254 nm, respectively.

The percentage recoveries for both methods were found in the 98.0- 102.0% range.

Results: The methods were validated in accordance with International Conference on harmonization acceptance criteria for specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness and system suitability. The excipients did not interfere in the determination of Gallic acid in Triphala Juice.

Conclusion: The suggested approach was effectively implemented for the quantitative determination of gallic acid in Triphala juice, which would aid in quality control.
