Abstract
Asparagus racemosus, commonly known as Shatavari, is a significant
medicinal plant traditionally used in Ayurveda, particularly recognized for its
benefits as a female tonic. This plant, belonging to the family Asparagaceae
(previously classified under Liliaceae), is native to tropical and subtropical
regions of India and has been utilized for centuries for its therapeutic
properties. The natural bioactive compound or marker shatavarin IV which is a
well-known steroidal saponin gycosides present in the roots of asparagus
racemosus. Milk is one such carrier that has been effectively used to deliver
phytochemical for targeted health benefits in the traditional Indian system of
medicine. Aim of the present research work is to formulate and evaluate the
steroidal saponin glygosides from shatavary loaded into spray dried milk powder
by using spray drying technology and to improve the stability and efficacy. The
study on Shatavarin IV evaluated through the HPTLC method indicates that the
spray-dried milk decoction powder remains stable for a minimum of three months.
This conclusion was drawn from the analysis of physicochemical parameters,
which showed no significant changes during this period.
