There are many examples of variation in properties as they become old which are mentioned in samitas. Accordingly, some drugs advised to collect and use fresh, for example, guduchi, vasa leaves whereas some are said to be stored for a specific period of time and then used when they become old (puran), for example; Ghruta, shali, etc. In Puran Dhanya there are changes observed called Gunantaradhan and become suitable for health, hence preferred to use. Likewise, guda is the very common sweeter used since ancient times in food as well as medicine. It is used for the preparation of various formulations (kalpa), fermentation (Sandhana), Anupana, binding agent and as par food concern it is rich in nutrition, minerals, energy. Ayurveda specifically advises using the old guda all where it is used but it becomes difficult to obtained old Guda every time it such a demanding era hence the solution is also stated to used Suryatapiguda state of old. The current study findings indicate old and Suryatapiguda is laghu (lighter) than that of the new guda.&#13;
