Standardization of Botanicals

Useful Books on Standardization






Standardization of Botanicals Volume - 1
Author: Dr. V. Rajpal
There has been a resurgence in usage of herbal medicine in the past few years,
not only among the traditional medicine users (ethno-medicine) but also among
the modern consumers of herbal products. This is supplemented with all round
growth of similar natural products among the nutritional supplements and
personal care segments. The question of quality therefore acquires greater
importance today than ever before.
While there are some books available on identification, description,
pharmacological action, safety aspects etc. of medicinal herbs, very few books
can be found on quantitative testing of medicinal herbs. This book fulfills
that gap in knowledge base with detailed, ready to use and validated methods
of analysis to be perfomed in a quality control laboratory. This book will be
welcomed by all those who are concerned about the standardization of
botanicals as it provides analytical procedures for extracts as well as
phytochemicals.
This book is an attempt to provide, not only the quantitative testing methods
but also chemical constituents, extraction processes, specifications of
various extracts, therapeutic functions, dosage, pharmacological properties,
toxicity/safety aspects and references. Volume I of this book contains 25
widely used medicinal herbs.

Standardization of Botanicals Volume - 2
Author: Dr. V. Rajpal
Testing of medicinal herbs and their derivatives like extracts,
phytochemicals, oleoresins etc has all along been a difficult and
controversial subject due to the complex nature of the active constituents of
the medicinal herbs found wild or cultivated in various regions of the world.
An effort is on to include, at least some testing methods, in various
pharmacopoeias but there is still a wide gap between the medicinal herbs and
their testing methods. This book containing 25 monographs of medicinal herbs
fills that gap in knowledge base with detailed, ready to use and validated
extraction processes and methods of testing to be performed in a well-equipped
testing laboratory.
Volume I with 25 monographs was published in 2002 which was perhaps one of the
very few books providing specifications and testing methods for various types
of herbal extracts like soft extracts, dry extracts and phytochemicals. Most
of the data provided was based on the hands-on experience of the author Dr. V.
Rajpal who has been constantly associated with the testing as well as
processing of medicinal herbs and their derivatives since 1976 in an
industrial setting. His experience of providing consultancy for setting up
herb processing and testing laboratories led to his in-depth knowledge of
problems faced by the herb processing factories and quality control
laboratories.
Since 2002 Dr. V. Rajpal had been working on 25 other commonly used medicinal
herbs in India as well as other countries. He has collected all the data with
latest national and international references to make the all-new 25 monographs
complete and up-to-date.

Each monograph provides the following information:
    7 Distribution and description of the plant
    7 Chemical constituents and chemical structures
    7 Extraction processes
    7 Specifications of extracts and phytochemicals
    7 Testing procedures, Biological activities
    7 Toxicity and safety aspects, Properties and uses
    7 Therapeutic indications, Dosage and References
