Abstract:- Oleo-gum-resin of Shallaki (Boswellia serrata Roxb.) is a drug used by all systems of medicines, traditional as well as modern and prescribed in the management of inflammatory diseases viz bronchitis, osteo-arthritis etc. Pharmacognostical study counting both macroscopic and powder microscopy of raw drug exposed the quality and genuineness of all the constituents of Shallaki. Organoleptic features along with microscopically and chemical tests of coarse powder made out of the crude drugs were within the standard range. Loss on drying 20.74%, Total ash 0.949% w/v, water soluble and alcohol soluble extract were recorded 24.20% and 68.80% respectively. Volatile oil was present 2.4%. TLC and HPTLC were carried out after organizing appropriate solvent system in which maximum 5 spots were distinguished in TLC and up to 8 spots in HPTLC and most of the Rf values were identical when done with different sample extractive methods. This shows the presence of certain definite constituents in the drug sample and is helpful for the easy separation of these particles.
