The effluents obtained were monitored at 255 nm with UV-visible detector.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>:<strong> </strong>The retention time of curcumin, piperine and camphor was found to be 6.57 min, 7.32 min and 8.57 min respectively. Linearity of curcumin and camphor were found in the range of 4-8 ppm and that of piperine was found to be 5-9 ppm. The correlation coefficient for curcumin, piperine and camphor were 0.998, 0.99 and 0.994 respectively. The high recovery values (98 %-102 %) indicate a satisfactory accuracy. The low percent relative standard deviation (% RSD) values in the precision study reveals that the method is precise.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>:<strong> </strong>The developed method is novel, simple, precise, rapid, accurate and reproducible for simultaneous quantitative estimation of curcumin, piperine and camphor in an ayurvedic formulation. Hence the developed method can be used for quantitative analysis and quality control of extracts and commercial samples of other species containing these three markers.</p> ER -
