COA of Calendula Hydrosol
Physico-chemical and Phytochemical Study & Microbial Analysis of Calendula Hydrosol
Abstract: Calendula officinalis, a member of the Asteraceae family, is an annual plant with yellow to orange blossoms, mostly seen in the Mediterranean region. Also known as pot marigold, it has been grown as a food and medicinal plant since the Middle Ages. As a medicine, it has found applications in the treatment of inflammation and skin wounds. The aim of the present study was to study the physico-chemical and phytochemical screening using the various phyto-chemicals from the blossoms of Calendula officinalis.
Calendula hydrosol is found to contain various secondary metabolites like Triterpenoids, Steroids, Glycosides, Saponins, Alkaloids, Flavonoids, and Tannins.
The phytochemicals produced from the hydrosol of Calendula Officinalis may be used as tools for quality control of drugs in the future, for the healing of a diversity of disease conditions.
Introduction
Calendula officinalis known as Marigold, this annual tree comes from the Asteraceae Family. It is composed of single-orange-yellow flowers that absorb the energy and heat of the sun as it rises in the morning; it is most evident in the Mediterranean region. Plant species are reported to contain a variety of chemicals, including carbohydrates, phenolic compounds, lipids, steroids, tocopherols, terpenoids, quinones, carotenoids which possess different health benefits. The main active ingredients of this plant include saponins, and flavonoids including rutin and hyperoside.
Calendula hydrosol has various therapeutic effects and is used as an antiseptic, stimulant, diaphoretic and antispasmodic. antipyretic agents. The flower petals of the plant have antimicrobial effects on HIV. Calendula plant shows anti-cancer activity in various plant types found in leukemias, fibrosarcomas, melanomas, breast, cervical, pancreas and lungs. It is also used internally for the treatment of gastritis, colitis and haemorrhoids. Antibacterial activity can be found in methanolic extract whereas, antifungal activity can be found in both methanolic and ethanolic extract.
The present work evaluates the aromatic waters/ hydrosol of Calendula obtained as innovative commercial products of a steam distillation process.

Description
- Appearance- The Calendula hydrosol/floral water is in a liquid form similar to water. That is the reason it is soluble in water.
- Colour- The calendula hydrosol is a clean, colourless to slightly cloudy liquid.
- Odour- The odour of a calendula hydrosol is derived from the blossoms of a calendula plant. The odour of calendula floral water has a refreshing, soothing, sweet, mildly floral aroma However the aroma changes from season to season with variety in its volatile compounds due to various factors like - temperature, rainfall, humidity and soil health etc.
- Solubility- It is soluble in water and alcohol but insoluble in fat/fixed oils.
- pH- A pH of 7 is neutral, above 7 the pH is alkaline and below 7 the pH is acidic.
- Acidity/Acidic- Calendula floral water is acidic in nature as it has a low pH, as opposed to a base, which has a higher pH.
- Specific Gravity- is used to define the weight of a liquid as compared to density at a specific temperature. If the specific gravity for a calendula hydrosol is less than 1, that means the material will flow in the reference substances, and if the water sample is more than 1, that means the material will sink in the reference material.
- Heavy Metals- this test is done to check for irregular levels of toxic or potentially harmful metals. Heavy Metal Limit test is primarily based on the reaction of metallic impurities with hydrogen sulphide or sodium sulphide in an acidic medium to produce metal sulphide which provides brown coloration.
- Microbial Test- is necessary and required by many industries worldwide, where human health is at risk of being adversely affected by disease-causing bacterial & virus, and microbial toxins.
Microbiological analysis of a sample is the use of biological, biochemical, molecular or chemical methods for the identification of microorganisms in a sample.
