Analysis of Commercial ‘Ratanjot’ by TLC Fluorescence Fingerprinting

Abstract

AbstractThe name 'Ratanjot' is attributed to the roots of various boraginaceous plant species. In the present communication, an effort has been made to authenticate commercial samples obtained from drug markets. All the market samples were found to be a mixture of two or three taxa, except for the Amritsar sample, which was identified as Arnebia nobilis.
