Abstract

In the present study, shilajit samples from various sources were characterized based on their physico-chemical properties, UV, FTIR and ¹H NMR spectra, X-ray diffraction pattern and DSC thermograms. All the samples showed a distinct similarity with respect to their physico-chemical as well as spectral and thermal characteristics. Being natural in origin, some variation can be expected and was seen in these samples too. The studies confirmed the complex multi-component and humic nature of shilajit.
