Gutika was standardized by different parameters like physicochemical parameters include Ash value, extractive value, LOD, Physical parameters like hardness, friability, disintegration and chromatographic examination include HPTLC fingerprinting, quantification of marker. And also evaluated by various parameters like, Hardness, weight variation and disintegration time. All parameters were passed from its standard limits. The set parameters were found to be sufficient to evaluate the gutika and can be used as reference standards for quality control/quality assurance laboratory of Pharmaceutical house.
