Physico ChemicalLoss on drying at 110 0: Not more than 10 per cent; Appendix 2.2.10. Total ash: Not more than 6 per cent; Appendix 2.2.3. Acid-insoluble ash: Not more than 1 per cent; Appendix 2.2.4. Alcohol-soluble extractive: Not less than 9 per cent; Appendix 2.2.7. Water-soluble extractive: Not less than 46 per cent; Appendix 2.2.8. Assay: Not less than 2.83 per cent of piperine when assayed by the following method. Estimation of Piperine: Dissolve 2.5 mg of piperine in a mixture of methanol : chloroform (1 : 1) and make up the volume to 25 ml in a volumetric flask. Apply 2; 5; 8; 11; 14; 17 nl of solution on TLC plate and develop the plate a distance of to 8 cm using acetone : n-hexane (3 : 7) as mobile phase. After development; dry the plate in a current of hot air and scan in the TLC scanner at a wavelength of 338 nm. Note the peak area and prepare the calibration curve by plotting peak area vs concentration of piperine. Extract accurately weighed about 6 g powder of vatis in 100 ml of alcohol in a Soxhlet apparatus for 6 h. Filter the extract while hot and dry completely and weigh. Take 25 mg of extract in a volumetric flask and dissolve in a mixture of methanol : chloroform (1 : 1) and make up the volume to 25 ml. Apply 3 nl of the test solutions on TLC plate. Develop; dry and scan the plate as described in the proceeding paragraph for calibration curve of piperine. Record area under the curve for a peak corresponding to piperine in the test solution. Calculate the amount of piperine in the test solution from the calibration curve of piperine.

MethodTake all ingredients of Pharmacopoeial quality. Clean; dry; powder the ingredients no. 1; 2 & 4 of the formulation composition (Prak¾ epa Dravya) and pass through sieve number 85 to obtain fine powder. Collect Yava ksara in the specified ratio. Take jaggery; add required amounts of water; boil to dissolve and filter through a muslin cloth. Reduce to thicker consistency by gentle boiling to prepare Gu² a pāka. Add fine powders of Prak¾epa Dravya and Yava k¾āra and mix thoroughly to prepare a homogeneous mass. Pass the mass through a pill making machine and cut vatis of desirable weight. Roll the vatis on a flat surface by circular motion of palm. Dry the rolled vatis in a tray-dryer at a temperature not exceeding 600. Pack it in tightly closed containers to protect from light and moisture.
