ANALYTICAL STUDY OF SHOOLAPRASHAMANA CHOORNA –GCMS STUDY

Aim: For the purpose of analyzing the active principle in the obtained extracts of the herbs, GC-MS is considered as an important tool.This study includes two techniques where the components is separated by Gas chromatography and the mass spectroscopy does the analysis of the active component.As a part of such an analytical aspect, Shoolaprashaman Churna is subjected to GC-MS to study their bio active compounds.Methodology -1grm of sample was extracted with 10 ml of methanol and was filtered through a syringe filter (Nylon 13mm 0.2um) and injected 1ml /min at temp.Of 260 o C at GCMS.The components of the oil were identified by comparison of their mass spectra with those of the spectrometer/mass spectral database using NIST Library (NIST-08 SPECTRAL DATA).The identifications were confirmed by comparison of fragmentation pattern and their retention indices with those reported in literature.
