Physico ChemicalTotal phenolic content: 0.062 to 0.075 per cent w/v Appendix 5.1.1 equivalent to tannic acid; Total solids: Not less than 3.0 per cent w/v; Appendix 3.8 Specific gravity (at 250): 1.00 to 1.20; Appendix 3.2 p H: 3.4 to 4.5; Appendix 3.3 Reducing sugars: Not less than 14.0 per cent w/v; Appendix 5.1.3 Non-reducing sugars: Not more than .80 per cent w/v; Appendix 5.1.3 Alcohol content: 4 to 10 per cent v/v; Appendix 3.17 Methanol: Absent; Appendix 2.8 Assay: The sample contains 0.1 to 0.5 per cent w/v of gallic acid and 0.09 to 0.1 per cent w/v of ethyl gallate; when assayed by the following method. Estimation of gallic acid and ethyl gallate: Dissolve 1 mg each of gallic acid and ethyl gallate in 1 ml each of methanol separately. Apply separately 1.0 to 8.0 nl each of (5 data point) of above solutions on TLC plate and develop the plate to a distance of 8 cm using toluene: ethyl acetate: acetic acid (5 : 4 : 1) acid as mobile phase. Derivatise the plate with Natural product reagent and dry in a current of cold air and scan in the TLC scanner at a wavelength of 366 nm. Note the peak areas under curve for the peaks corresponding to gallic acid and ethyl gallate and prepare the calibration curve by plotting peak area vs. concentration of gallic acid and ethyl gallate separately. Process vacuum-dried 50 ml of the formulation under thin layer chromatography. Apply 5 nl of the test solution on TLC plate. Develop; dry and scan the plate as described in preceding paragraph for calibration curve of gallic acid and ethyl gallate. Calculate the amount of gallic acid and ethyl gallate in the test solution from the calibration curves of gallic acid and ethyl gallate respectively.
