Study Notes
Evaluation of Crude Drugs
- Evaluation of a drug ensures the identity of a drug and determines its quality and purity.
- The main reasons behind the need for evaluation of crude drugs are:
- Biochemical variation in the drug
- Effect of treatment and storage of drugs
- Adulterations and substitutions
Types of Evaluation
- There are three types of evaluation:
Organoleptic Evaluation
- Refers to the study of drugs using organs of senses
- Methods of analysis include:
- Colour
- Odour
- Taste
- Size
- Shape
- Special features (e.g. touch, texture)
- Initial sight of the plant or extract can be so specific that it tends to identify itself
