Authors: Bhagyashree P Satpathy, Asokan V*

ABSTRACT
Lashuna (Allium Sativum) is a popular medicinal plant in Ayurveda, India's ancient medical system.The present study was aimed to screen the organoleptic analysis, physico-chemical analysis and phytochemical constituents through preliminary phytochemical tests of lashuna churna (powdered form of Allium sativum) and to standardize this herbal powdered drug through High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography fingerprinting. The preliminary phytochemical screening of the extract revealed the presence of bioactive compounds like alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, steroids and terpenoids. The HPTLC fingerprint profile, obtained from this study, of the same herbal formulation may be used for furthur authenticity and quality analysis.
