This article reviews the various references of Kakamachi in Ayurvedic texts regarding its therapeutic uses and different formulations. The review also encompasses the pharmacological activities and various folklore uses of this plant. It is found that this herb is used since Vedic period and widely used as Shakadravya (vegetable). It is used successfully in the treatment of various ailments like measles, malaria, cancer etc by different folks. Till date this plant has been screened out for activities like anti oxidant, hepatoprotective, anti ulcerogenic, immunomodulatory etc and many more. The present exercise will help the researchers to widen their horizons in the assessment of other activities which are not screened out yet.

The maximum cell biomass of 2.54 mg mL-1 was observed after 36 h of incubation. Lactose concentration dropped drastically to 0.04 % from 4.40% after 36 h of incubation. Out of the four methods tested for extraction of enzyme, SDS-Chlorofom method was found to be best followed by Toluene-Acetone, sonication and homogenization with glass beads in that order. It could be concluded through this study that SDS-Chloroform is cheap and simple method for enzyme extraction from Kluyveromyces cells, which resulted in higher enzyme activity as compared to the activity observed using the remaining extraction methods. The study could also establish that whey could effectively be utilized for β-galactosidase production thus alleviating water pollution problems caused due to its disposal into the water streams.
