A Modern Approach for the Analytical Determination of Natural Berry Fruit Juice Freeze Dry Powders for Cosmeceutical Applications

Naturally obtained berry fruits are useful for treatment of various skin disorders, inflammations, for scurvy etc., as they possess potential antibacterial and antioxidant activities. These properties were investigated according to the current pharmacopoeia guidelines in the current study. Physicochemical properties, phytochemical analysis, fluorescence study and HPTLC fingerprint were evaluated to establish reliable supporting data. Phytochemical screening indicated the existence of various phytochemicals like polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, total polysaccharides and the HPTLC fingerprint developed for the separation of phytochemicals was reported. HPTLC fingerprint has been developed for the natural berry fruit juice freeze dry powder, which can be used in any quality control setup as identification and chromatographical chemical fingerprinting technique which in turn can provide referential information for exact identification and accurate standardization of Natural berry fruit freeze dry powder.
