Herbal formulations are easily prone to deterioration of the active compounds during storage over a period of time. The stability study helps in understanding the physical and phytochemical changes associated with natural product formulation. The present study was conducted to determine the shelf life of the herbal formula, Naturovita which is used as a food supplement to support respiratory health. The accelerated stability study (Temperature: 40 ºC ± 2 and relative humidity (RH): 75% ± 5) was conducted as per ICH guidelines. The change in the organoleptic, physico-chemical properties, proximate, active phytochemical content and microbial load were verified over a period of 6 months at an interval of 0 th , 2 nd , 4 th and 6 th month. The results from various analysis performed were taken in consideration for the determination of extrapolated shelf life of Naturovita. The extrapolated shelf-life value was calculated with 10% degradation of the physico-chemical parameters at an accelerated condition. The shelf life of Naturovita formula was found to be 24.08 months (2.01 years).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
