Method for the estimation of Piperine content



Method for the estimation of Piperine content 

Reagent Required:
Methanol LR  Grade

Glass wares, Apparatus & Instruments required:
Volumetric Flasks -             100mL, 50mL
Beakers -                           100mL, 50mL,
U-V Spectrophotometer

PROCEDURE:

Standard Preparation :
Weigh accurately about 25 mg of Piperine working standard into a 100mL volumetric flask. Add about 25mL of methanol. Ultrasonicate till completely dissolved and make up the volume with methanol. Further dilute above 5mL solution to 50mL with methanol & again 5mL to 50mL with methanol. Shake well and Filter through what man No.1 filter paper.

Sample Preparation :
Weigh accurately about 25mg of Piperine sample into 100mL volumetric flask. Add about 25mL of methanol. Ultrasonicate till completely dissolved and make up the volume with methanol. Further dilute above 5mL solution to 50mL with methanol. Ensure that the concentration of active ingredient in sample solution is approximately similar to that of standard solution Shake well and Filter through what man No.1 filter paper.


Determine absorbance of both standard and sample solution at wavelength of 342nm.

Percentage of Piperine content is calculated as:


                                   Absorbance of sample   X Concentration of std X   purity of std
                           = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                    Absorbance of standard X Concentration of sample
