ABSTRACT

Rasona Ksheerapaka is a classical preparation stated in Ayurvedic texts. Garlic Milk is considered as a highly useful remedy in Ayurveda for dyslipidaemia. The aim of the study is to preparation and evaluation Rasona Ksheerapaka using spray drying technique and to study the physicochemical properties. Rasona Ksheerapaka was prepared as per the reference textbook of Bhaisajya Kalpana text, Spray dried powder was prepared by using spray dryer unit, at standard. HPLC analysis was performed estimation of allicin. The result showed that the allicin present in the sample. The prepared ksheerapaka powder was evaluated for Physical, chemical, microbial and Nutritional value. Physical parameter like loss on drying, moisture content and total ash were found to be 3.8 %, 3.6 % and 4.54 % respectively. Titrable acidity as lactic acid was found to be 2.29%. microbial parameter like Total Aerobic Microbial Count and Total Yeast & Mold Count was found to be 34 Cfu/g and <10 Cfu/g respectively and pathogen test like Coliforms count, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella abony count was found to be all pathogen’s absent in the sample. Nutritional Fact like Milk fat, Protein, Lactose and Carbohydrates was found to be 19.43 %, 21.10%, 18.21% and 51.33% respectively. It is necessary Rosana ksheerapaka to be prepared freshly and consumed. Currently there are no market products available. Hence, we have developed the rasona ksheerapaka dispersible powder by using spray drying technique.
