  31. Standardization of Herbal Ayurvedic Drugs For Global Competitiveness: Process Raw materials • Material/energy inputs • Operational uniformity • Safety and occupational health • Intermediate quality [in process quality control • Chromatographic fingerprint • Authentication • Physico, chemical, biological limits • Storage conditions • Size/shape/right quality • Chromatographic fingerprint Product • Organolepthic . Physico chemical properties • Chromatographic fingerprint • Assay [Chemical / biological] • Storage stability • User safety • Packaging and labelling

  32. Chromatograph-finger-print markers for Herbal Drugs • Markers are chemically defined constituents of a herbal drug which are of interest for control purposes independent of whether they have any therapeutic activity or not • Markers may serve to calculate the quantity of herbal drug or preparation in the finished product if that marker has been quantitatively determined in the herbal drug or preparation when the starting materials are tested
