DEVELOPMENT, CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF POLY HERBAL WATER PURIFYING SACHET

To develop a formulation this aids in antimicrobial and heavy metals removal property from water with merit of formulation’s portability and ecofriendly nature. Article includes use of herbs having potent antimicrobial and heavy metals removal property. A group of 4 herbs were taken and assayed against blank, ethanol and standard for antimicrobial property by disc diffusion method. Then herbs were assayed concentration wise for its most effective concentration to be utilized by disc diffusion method. For heavy metals removal activity herbal water was analyzed with limit test of water. Other than these 2 parameters water was analyzed with various BSI specifications for drinking water for ex- pH, turbidity, TDS, taste, color, and odor. Conclusion- Proposed article aims at justifying developing a formulation having mini side effects, ecofriendly nature, and portability, economic, doesn’t require power consumption and is very effective in natural calamities situation and remote areas.
