ABSTRACT:
The present article attempts to compare HPTLC and physico-chemical parameters of Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Cinnamomum cassia belonging to common family Lauraceae and genus Cinnamomum. Each of them is considered to have huge medicinal value in Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani traditional medicines. Since ancient times, these drugs are used according to their medical value. Investigation of such traditionally used medicinal plants is thus valuable on two levels, firstly, as a source of potential chemo-therapeutic drugs and secondly, as a measure of safety for the continued use of medicinal plants. The present paper attempts to evaluate the physicochemical parameters like water soluble extract, alcohol soluble extract, total ash, acid insoluble ash, TLC/HPTLC and preliminary phytochemical analysis. The study revealed specific identities for crude drug taken which will be useful in identification and control of adulterations and/or substitution of the raw drug.
