Abstract
According to the draft of Thai herbals development strategic plan; Thailand Champion Herbal Products: TCHP by the department for development of Thai transitional and alternative medicine, Ministry of Public Health, Centella asiatica (Bao-bog, Gotu Kola) is one of the five herbs in champion herbal products. To be able to produce quality herbal products, scientific proven data is needed to increase the confidence and acceptance of consumers, not only local wisdom. The variation in herbal form (fresh and dried), solvent types, and extraction ratio and extraction times could affect the antimicrobial activities, antioxidant activities and chemical profile. Thus that biological active compound compositions, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant activity profiles would be the important stepping stone for development of medicine industry, food industry, cosmetics industry.
