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. Keywords: Qualitative and Quantitative Evaluation, Mycotoxin, Medicinal Plants
