“…The extractive values are immensely useful to evaluate the chemical constituents that are present in the crude drug. These extractive values are also helpful in the estimation of specific constituents soluble in particular solvent [15] . The total ash value obtained from the study can be used to detect foreign organic matter and adulteration with sand and earth, therefore, reflecting the kind of care that must be taken in preparing the plant for drug.…”
