title: Experimental studies on the fermentation of aravindasava.
abstract: Aravindasava was prepared as per the textual and modified methods. The modified methods involved the use of glass vessel and inoculation of the autoclaved drug with the yeasts isolated from Dasamularista and Pippaliasava.The quantity of alcohol produced in the glass vessel was more than that in the earthen pot by classical method. Among the inoculated organisms, Dasamularista yeast II showed highest alcohol production. There was difference in the degree of utilization of reducing and non - reducing sugars by the growing microorganisms in the fermenting vessel in different method of preparation.
