Abstract
Objective: To establish an acceptable identification system of various purification effects in context classical based different media on turmeric samples and relates its altering pattern in favor of phyto-pharmacognostical, image processing and multivariate chemometric analysis.Methods: Authenticated turmeric samples purified through different processes by using different media such as cow’s urine, panchapllava (five different plants tender leaves), the inflorescence of alambusha (Sphaeranthus indicus, Linn) decoction, water and buttermilk. Resultant samples dried, pulverized and undertaken powder microscopy, image processing, physicochemical and chromatographic fingerprinting (HPTLC). The multivariate chemometric analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) analyzed with help of Unscrambler and image processing in Matlab software.Results: The addition of characters of medias drug with turmeric powders like the crystal of gomutra, pollen grain and starch grain of Alambusha, epidermis, fibre, the crystal of panchapllava. Identify different perceivable colors in variously processed turmeric by analyzing the Lab color space through the Image segmentation. PC1 and PC2 explained (90 + 9) % total variance in score plot of respective purify turmeric samples shown clear grouping in relation to the physicochemical constant. Quantification of curcumin in various treated turmeric samples displayed variation due to additive effect in high-performance thin layer chromatographic profile.Conclusion: This study proved that purification in ayurveda not only refers to the elimination of toxins and unwanted particles but also the transformation in the properties in the primary substance rendering it safe as well as many desired qualities are imbibed in it.
Highlights
Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn) belongs to the family Zingiberaceae, is referred to the Ayurvedic system of medicine [1]
Mother rhizomes of Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.) were collected from Sasoi Botanical Garden, Sasoi village, Gujarat (Latitude 22°18'30.06"N, Longitude 69°58'55.11"E) in the month of December 2016, fresh leaves Panchapallava Trichoanthes dioica, Azadirachta indica, Syzygium cumini, Mangifera indica were collected from Gujarat Ayurved University and Kapita, (Feronia limonia) from Bhavnagar
TR showed general characters of Turmeric powder, TT showed almost similar except fibre attached with starch gain
Summary
Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn) belongs to the family Zingiberaceae, is referred to the Ayurvedic system of medicine [1]. It has good therapeutic effects like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral, anti-fertile, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antimicrobial [2,3]. Ayurveda advocates purification procedures (Shodhana) for poisonous substances to render it safe and effective for therapeutics. Ayurveda classics mentioned non-poisonous substance like turmeric internal administration after proper purification [4]. Applying various media on turmeric purification is sometimes the bottle-neck problem to pick up best reasonable and reliable media. Effect of sodhan on (processing) on kupeelu (Strychnos nuxvomica Linn.) with special reference to strychnine and brucine content is explored [6]
