becomes non sticky.

dried)
Without agni

together.
• On continuous mardana, by adding little by little
powder, it gradually start to mix together.

50% weight loss was observed. The weight loss was due to removal of impurities present in
the Guggulu and handling loss.
Presence of low acid insoluble ash (1.08%) determines the presence of low adherent dirt as well
as sand particles
Presence of low moisture content (loss on drying 6.2%) decreases decomposition and enhances
the shelf life and therapeutic value of the drug.
