Oil is one of the important formulations in Ayurveda for external as well as internal use.In this study, an evaluation of the commercially available Mahamasa, Mahanarayana, sesamum oil was conducted using two different chromatographic Technique (traditional & modified pre chromatographic TLC).HPTLC is an important designing tool to evaluate the oil sample .But sampling strategy of oil in the context of traditional chromatographic method is very lengthy, costly and less convenient.Here we have modulate the chromatographic method with respect to continuous improvement plan(Kaizen approach) such as need based acceptation of saponification and paradigm shift of direct application of oil on TLC plate.Direct application of oil on plate concept adopted from pre-chromatographic derivatization, which oil sample direct applied on TLC plate and developed with suitable solvent system, and during development only unsap material will we separate on TLC plate and then compare with traditional method outcome.Separation pattern of oil on plate are same both method traditional and modified method.That means separate operation will not require for oil separation like hydrolysis of oil, extraction of unsaponifiable material and sample preparation.However modified method is less time, chemical consuming and more convenient for economically chromatographic evaluation of oil sample.
