Physico ChemicalTotal Ash: Not more than 3 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 14 per cent; Appendix 2.2.7 Loss on drying: Not more than 6 per cent; Appendix 2.2.10 pH (10 % aqueous solution): 3.3 to 3.7; Appendix 3.3 Total Sugar estimated as 80 to 85 per cent; Appendix to be prepared and Reducing Sugars: added Iron content (% w/w): Not more than 0.05 per cent; Appendix 5.6 Assay: Haridra Khanda granular material contains 1.0 to 1.4 per cent of curcumin when determined by the following procedure. Dissolve 4 mg accurately weighed curcumin in methanol in a 25 ml-volumetric flask and make up the volume. Transfer the aliquots (0.4 -1.4 ml) of stock solution to 10- ml volumetric flasks and make up the volume with methanol to obtain standard solutions containing 6.4 to 22.4 ng/ml curcumin; respectively. Apply 10 nl each of the standard solutions prepared above on precoated TLC plate. Develop the plate to a distance of 8 cm using toluene: ethyl acetate: methanol (5: 0.5: 1) as mobile phase. Scan the plate in the TLC scanner at a wave length 429 nm. Record the peak area under curve for a peak corresponding to curcumin and plot the calibration curve by plotting peak area vs concentration of curcumin. Weigh about 5 g; accurately weighed Haridra Khanda and extract with methanol (25 ml x 4). Filter; pool the filtrates; concentrate and make up the volume to 25 ml with methanol in a volumetric flask. Apply 5 nl of the sample solution on TLC plate and carry out thin layer chromatography. Develop; dry and scan the plate as described in preceding paragraph for calibration curve of curcumin. Calculate the amount curcumin in the sample solution from the calibration of curcumin.

Method Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality.  Treat Lauha to prepare Lauha bhasma.  Wash; clean; dry the ingredients numbered 5 to 11 of the Formulation Composition; powder separately and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 85) to obtain fine powder and mix them all to a homogeneous mixture along with Lauha bhasma.  Wash; clean; dry Haridra; powder and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 85) to obtain fine powder. ∗ To prevent spoilage of the preparation; it is advisable not to use milk in the Formulation; instead the Formulation should be taken alongwith Godugdha as Sahapana.  Fry Haridra powder in Ghrita maintaining the temperature between 800 to 900 till Haridra turns brown and its typical smell emanates.  Prepare sugar syrup and filter while hot through muslin cloth.  Add the fried Haridra to the syrup; heat with constant stirring; maintaining the temperature at about 900.  Add mixture of fine powders and mix thoroughly to prepare a homogeneous mixture.  Pass the mixture through a granulator to obtain granules of suitable size. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.  Store in containers and pack them air-tight to protect from light and moisture.
