Palakalyana Ghrita (PKG)is an herbal formula used in Ayurveda medical system to enhance fertility and immunity in both genders which consistsnineteen medicinal plants with cow’s ghee and milk. As per available literature PKG formula has not been standardizedalthough it is a commonly used drug by traditional practitioners. Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate thephysio-chemical properties, nutrition composition and possible toxic elements and microorganisms of PKG formula.Methodology: Physico-chemical properties tested include refractive index, total ash content, acid in soluble ashcontent, water soluble ash content, moisture content, acid value, peroxide value, saponification value. Carbohydrate,protein, fatty acid, vitamin and mineral composition were assessed as nutritional parameters of PKG. Heavy metals andmicroorganisms were tested using standard protocols. Results: Unsaturated fatty acids namely Palmitoleic acid (0.26%),Oleic acid (40.36%) and Linoleic acid (9.19%) and saturated fatty acids; Capric acid (0.63%), Myristic acid (1.68%)Pentadecyclic acid (0.23%) Palmitic acid (42.25%) Margaric acid ((0.26%) and Stearic acid (4.85%) were present in thePKG formulation. The percentages of carbohydrate, protein and fat content of PKG were 0.04±0.0, 98.8±0.2 and 0.7±0.0 respectively. Heavy metals and microbes were not detected. Conclusion: Results obtained could be utilized asreferences standard for quality assurance of PKG. Keywords: Herbal formulation, Palakalyana Ghrita, Physico-chemical, Standardization. INTRODUCTION Palakalyana Ghrita (PKG) is used in traditional medical systemof Sri Lanka, to enhance fertility andimmunity of both males and females. Roots of Asparagus racemosus is the main ingredient in PKG. It isknown to possess medicinally important aphrodisiac, immunomodulatory, anti-ulcer and anti-anemicproperties [1, 2,3,4]. PKG contains 19 medicinal plants along with cow's milk and cow's ghee (Table 1). Mostof these herbal compositions are effective in practice, however are not scientifically validated. Therefore,standardization of PKG is essential to ensure efficacy and stability of its' finished product. In the presentstudy, an attempt was done to standardize PKG using standard protocols. MATERIAL AND METHODS Plant materials All plants materials with pasteurized cow's milk, and fresh cow’s ghee were purchased from the Ayurvedapharmacy adjacent to the, Ayurveda teaching hospital, Borella, Sri Lanka and all were identified andauthenticated by the Department of Materia Medica, in Institute of Indigenous Medicine, University ofColombo, Sri Lanka. Preparation of the drug *Corresponding author: Chandi Nineteen herbal ingredients in the formulation were washed and dried at 60 ℃ using an oven.Concentrated water extract of Asparagus racemosus was prepared using 600 g of the chopped rootsinfused in 20 L water, and boiled at 100 ℃ for 4-6 hours until reduced to 5 L volume of liquid. All the otherherbal materials were separately washed and air dried to a constant weight and powdered using anelectric grinder and passed through the 10 mesh sieve. Fifteen gram of each finely powdered herbalingredients, 5 L of pasteurized cow's milk and 1280 g of fresh cow's ghee were added to the 5 L volume ofliquid. The mixture with all ingredients was boiled until all the water evaporated. The preparation wasstored in glass bottles at room temperature. This formulation was prepared as per the classical procedure[5] at the pharmacy attached to the Institute of Indigenous Medicine, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Determination of physico-chemical parameters such as total ash, acidinsoluble ash, and water soluble ash were done as per WHO guidelines20116. Moisture content, refractory index, saponification value andperoxide value were determined according to the method mentionedin SLS 340:1975M. Acid value was measured by using titrating methodin an alcoholic medium with aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH)solution. Nutritional values VitaminB1, B2, and B12 were detected using ROCHE Basle method.Vitamin C was evaluated according to US Pharmacopeia 22nd Edition20048, Vitamin A and E were detected according to a standardprotocol using HPLC [9].Fatty acid composition was analyzed using BF3/Methanol fatty acid ester derivertization [10]. Kjeldahl method wasused for the detection of protein [11]. Carbohydrate was detected usingMolish's test [12]. Total dietary fiber was evaluated using enzymaticgravimetric method. Crude fat content was analyzed using the methoddescribed in AOAC (2000) and the Soxtherm manual 113 Heavy metals Heavy metals such as Mercury, Arsenic, Lead and Cadmium wereestimated by hydride generation technique (coldd vapor atomicabsorption spectrometry)[13], lodine value This was estimated according to SLS 313 Part 2, section 2;2014I14] Microbiological limits Aerobic plate counts, yeast and moulds were observed according toSLS 516/1 and SLS 516/2 [15] methods. Coliforms/ Escherichia coli, andStaphylococcus aureus were observed using methods as described inSLS/3 [16] and SLS/516/6 [17] respectively. TLC fingerprinting Extraction procedure for the sample Sample (10 g) was refluxed with water (50 ml), added to a separatingfunnel containing hexane, shaken well and kept for 15 min. After thatremoved the hexane layer and active ingredients were extracted intodichloromethane and concentrated. Extraction procedure for the active ingredients Plant ingredients mentioned in Table 1, mixed in a ratio of 1:1 (w/w)and extracted into dichloromethane and concentrated. Both sample (5ul) and mixture of raw materials (5 ul) were spotted on the same TLCplate. A mixture of solvent system consist of methanol, cyclohexaneand dichloromethane in a ratio of 0.2:2:9.8 v/v was used as the mobilephase. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Very minor quantities total ash, water soluble ash or acid insoluble ashwere present in PKG (Table 2). That indicates fewer impurities in thefinal product of PKG. Less moisture content (0.12% w/w) shows thatthere is less chance of microbial growth. Acid value of the amount ofpotassium hydroxide in milligrams required to neutralize the acidpresent with any formulation. During the process of oxidation acidityincreases because triglycerides are converted into fatty acids andglycerol. Releasing of fatty acid is result of hydrolysis, and thermaleffects. Further there is direct relationship of acid value with rancidity. The less acid value (1.8mg/KoH/g Oil) indicate better quality andsuitability for human use. Further these results are supported toprevious studies on standardization of Ghrita preparations in Ayurvedamedicine [18] (Table 3).

Medium chain fatty acids possess antioxidant properties whichcounter negative results of premature gray hair, macular degenerationand sagging of the pores and skin. Both unsaturated and saturatedfatty acids included in PKG are coronary heart pleasant fatty acids,increases the fee of metabolism that helping in weight loss ,increasethe extent of true cholesterol (high density lipoproteins) and decreasethe bad cholesterol (low density lipoproteins) in human frame .Thoseare great sources of energy[19]. Microbes such as aerobic microbes,yeast and moulds, coliforms/Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureuswere not detected in PKG. Name of the Fatty acid percentage 1. Capric acid 0.63% 2. Myristic acid 1.68% 3. Pentadecyclic acid 0.23% 4 Palmitic acid 42.25% 5. Palmitoleic acid 0.54% 6. Magaric acid 0.26% 7. Stearic acid 4.85% 8. Vaccenic acid 40.36% 9.

The sample has similarities interms of Rf values and colour of PKG sample to the Rf values and colour of theraw materials. It is proved homogeneity of a final product. Nutritional analysis indicates good amount of vitamins as vitamin A, Eand B12. Due to high oily base in PKG enhance the absorption ofvitamins A and E which are fat soluble vitamins consisted. Ancientphysician were prescribed PKG as fertility enhancing treatment.Nutritional analysis of PKG shows evidence to prove that claim (Table4). Mercury, lead and cadmium were not present in PKG. Results haveshown that concentration of arsenic was 0.3 mg/kg in PKG. However,the observed arseniIcCCconcentration Was within the WHOrecommended limits. These evidences confirm the nontoxic effect ofPKG. The iodine value of PKG was 52.6 g per 100. Higher iodine valueindicates the grater the number of unsaturated fatty acids. Rf values ofsample and mixture of raw materials were similar to each other (0.06,0.15,0.18, 0.21,0.31,0.41,0.46,0.48,0.53, 0.62, 0.75 and 0.82). Palakalyana Ghrita was standardized for the first time using standardprotocols and output of the present study could be utilized asreferences standard for quality assurance of Palakalyana Ghrita.
