QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF MYCOTOXIN LEVELS IN EXTENSIVELY IMPORTANT MEDICINAL PLANTS USED IN FORMULATION OF HERBAL DRUGS AND OTHER EDIBLES Authors: Shukla SP , RAIPURIA N AND MISHRA RP
ABSTRACT
The investigation was outlined to interpret on the mycotoxic noticeable quality of the herbs materials
utilized in home grown planning. Dried organic product tests of Terminalia bellirica (Baheda),
Terminalia chebula (Harada), Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari), Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha),
Aegle marmelos (Bael), Synzygium cumini (Jamun), Solanum nigrum (Makoi), Emblica officinalis and
Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy) were gathered from arbitrary market sources. They were under given to
Mycological examination for the acumen and identification of organisms utilizing credible extraction
processes. Extracts coding AC0904, SAM 01, SAM 03, SAM 05, SAM 07 were subjected to qualitative
and Analytic analysis presence of Aflatoxin A1 was found to be predominant and exceeding permissible
count. Study affirmed two subjects oe the extraction procedure for aflatoxin was effective as all sample
showed qualitative presence of Aflatoxin however wasn’t found in analytical study because of Limit of
detection and second that the extracts of S.nigrum and E. officinalis were highly contaminated by
Aflatoxin reaching 1.19 ng/ml.
