Standardization of Botanicals

["Sanjeev Prajapati" <herbalbooks@xxxxxxxxx>]

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