Abstract:
Dasamularista was prepared as per the national formulary to study the effect of container on the production of alcohol and the presence of microorganisms during the process of fermentation. Citraka (Plumbago rosea Linn.) which was one of the ingredient in the drug and subjected to "Sodhana" was also studied. The Citraka was impoverished by 50% with respect to plumbagin as a result of sodhana-purification. The drug prepared in glass vessel showed higher amount of alcohol than the earthen pot product. During the process of fermentation two yeasts and one bacteria, Micrococcus luteus wee observed in the media, the bacterium being a non-alcohol producing organism.
