ACCELERATED STABILITY STUDY OF MAJOONE FALASIFA (A UNANI HERBAL FORMULATION)
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Present study was conducted to evaluate shelf life of Majoone falasifa at accelerated storage conditions.In-house prepared Majoone falasifa packed in multiple air tight transparent PET containers was challenged with temperature and humidity at 40±2oC/75±5%RH in photo-stability chamber for the period of six months. Packs were tested for various analytical parameters at zero, one, three and six month. Another two packs of MF was evaluated for photostability at overall illumination of 1.2 million lux hours with UV energy of 200Watt hours/square meter and 2.4 million lux hours with UV energy of 400Watt hours/square meter light intensity.No significant change in organoleptic characters of Majoone falasifa were observed at accelerated thermo-humidity condition till six month as well as in photostability at 2.4 million lux hours with UV energy of 400Watt hours/square meter light intensity. The changes in moisture content, ash value, pH, alcohol and water soluble matter, successive extractives, saponification value, iodine value, acid value and total alkaloid was less than 5%. HPLC showed minimum changes. Microbial studies were in confirmation to the WHO guideline.The present study showed that the shelf life of Majoone falasifa was upto 20 months.
