The quality assessment physico- chemical research data were investigated and the presence of Arachis oil, Cotton seed oil, Sesame oil and Mineral oil were found negative in clove oil samples. The TLC/HPTLC studies of petroleum ether extracts of the drug samples showed various spots along with their Rf values at UV-254nm, UV-366nm and in visible light by applying derivatizing agents, i.e. lodine vapors and 5% methanolic sulphuric acid reagent. The quality control and assurance studies results revealed the absence of hazardous and toxic contamination. The Rf values of separated spots also show the indication of enhanced presence of bioactive phytochemical
