Abstract

The present study aimed to standardize the crude drug from ‘Euphorbia prostrata’ by doing qualitative and quantitative analysis of plant pulverized parts and extracts. Physico-chemical analysis such as moisture content, total ash, water insoluble ash, sulphated ash, acid insoluble ash and water and alcohol extractives was done on powdered raw material. The moisture content and ash values were found within the recommended range (moisture content 5 % and ash value 10.5 %). The value of water soluble extract was higher as compared to acid soluble extractives. Percentage yield was found to be highest in methanolic solvent. The phytochemical analysis i.e. total lipids, total proteins and carbohydrates of crude powder showed that lipids and proteins contents were high.
