Limits of Impurities
A test requirement for foreign Organic matter would ensure the extent of contamination of extraneous matters such as filth and other parts of botanicals not covered by the definition of the Herbal drug.Since Sand and soil are predictable contaminants of botanicals, test requirements for ‘total ash’, water soluble ash’, ‘acid soluble ash’, residue on ignition and sulphated ash would be expected to limit such contaminants.Test requirement for heavy metals in botanical raw material are probably more relevant for parts of plants growing under ground than for the aerial parts of the plant. The presence of high levels of minerals interacts with the final product there by affecting its keeping quality.
