Abstract
Background:
Numerous Ayurvedic formulations contain tugaksheeree as a key ingredient.
Tugaksheeree is the starch gained from the rhizomes of two plants, Curcuma angustifolia Roxb.
(Zingiberaceae) and Marantaarundinacea (MA) Linn. (Marantaceae).
Objective:
The primary concerns in quality assessment of Tugaksheeree occur due to adulteration or
substitution.
Method:
In the current study, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) technique with Attenuated Total
Reflectance (ATR) facility was used to evaluate the tugaksheeree samples. A total of 10 different
samples were studied and transmittance mode was kept to record the spectra devoid of the pellets of
KBR. Further treatment was given with multi-component tools by considering the fingerprint region
of the spectra. Multivariate analysis was performed by various chemometric methods.
Result:
Multi-component methods, like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical
Cluster Analysis (HCA), were used to discriminate the tugaksheeree samples using Minitab software.
Conclusion:
This method can be used as a tool to differentiate samples of tugaksheeree from its adulterants
and substitutes.
