Several rate-accelerating effects on the oxidation of ferroin by Cr(VI) in sulfuric acid medium are reported. In all cases, these effects are observed in the earlier portions of the reaction profile and no catalyic cycle appears to be associated with them. Conversion of the rate-modifying species to an inactive form by destruction or, mainly, by complexation with Cr(lll) seems to account for the lack of catalytic cycle. Judicious choice of reaction conditions allows the determination (by initial rate measurements) of microgram amounts/milliliter of oxalic acid, citric acid, vanadium(IV), arsenic(lll), chromium(VI), hexacyanoferrate(lll), and mg/ml of molybdenum(VI).
Yograj guggulu vati (YGV), a polyherbal formulation is recommended for the management of diseases like arthritic, anodyne or analgesic, spasm, muscle relaxant, flatulence, digestive problem, cough, hyperglycaemia, fat burner and obesity. Though Yograj guggulu vati is widely used for the treatment of diseases in Ayurvedic System of Indian Medicine, but till date, it’s Phenolic and flavonoids contents and contamination studies have not been carried. In the present article, we evaluated the total phenolic and flavonoids contents and contamination of YGV. Total phenolic contents were evaluated by Folin Ciocalteu reagent. Aluminum chloride colorimetric method was used for the determination of total flavonoid contents. Contamination study such as microbial load was also performed. Microbial load study revealed that total bacterial counts and total fungal counts were under limits. The total phenolic content and total flavonoid content were 190.16 mg/g and 20.87 mg/ g dry extract respectively. Microbial load studies showed that the formulation has a good quality and purity. Presence of abundance phenolic and flavonoids compound indicated that YGV can be used for different biological activities.
Keywords: Microbial load, Yograj Guggulu Vati, total phenolic contents
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
