Abstract

Background: In last few decades, market of herbal and traditional medicines have grown up in leaps and bounds, but majority of traditional medicines are lacking in its data of Saviryatavadhi (shelf-life period). Hence the present study was carried out to evaluate the stability of Mustadi Ghana Vati with respect to microbial contamination and fungal growth. Material and method: Mustadi Ghana Vati was prepared in the pharmacy, ITRA and stored in food grade air-tight plastic containers, in a well-ventilated, well lighted space at room temperature. A baseline microbial profile was studied at regular interval of 1 month for total 13 months. Every time, the sample was subjected to microbiological studies like smear examination with wet mount - 10% K.O.H. preparation and Gram’s stain; fungal culture; and aerobic culture at Microbiology Laboratory, ITRA, Jamnagar. Results: In this study, no any growth of micro-organisms (bacterial or fungal) was found till 2nd March 2022 i.e. for 13months from the date of preparation. Conclusion: Hence this study shows that Mustadi Ghana Vati can remain stable in various climatic conditions for a minimum of 13 months and remain free from any microbial contamination, which indicate that the manufacturing and storage practices adopted in this study was up to the mark of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and could be used as quality standards by future researchers and drug manufacturers.
