    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
