(Asteraceae) &amp;ndash; chicory is an ancient folklore medicine. Various parts of these plants are in use for a wide range of ailments including those affecting liver and kidney. The aim of the current study is to standardize the fruit of &lt;em&gt;C. intybus&lt;/em&gt; for macroscopy, microscopy, physicochemical parameters, TLC photo documentation along with development of HPTLC fingerprint profiles. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Following standard pharmacopoeial procedures, detailed macro-microscopic characterization along with preliminary phytochemical features of the drug has been recorded from the current study. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Macro-microscopic study has revealed the authenticity of this medicinal achene type fruit. Physico-chemical and HPTLC studies revealed constants for identification and authentication of fruits of &lt;em&gt;C. intybus&lt;/em&gt;. Conclusion: The current study will serve as a reference tool for quality maintenance, authentication as well as scientific validation of chicory fruits.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">694</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Achintya Kumar Mandal, Shakila Ramachandran&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;, Kallingilkalathil Gopi Divya, Mattumal Rubeena, Koppala Narayana Sunil Kumar, Parameswaran Sathiyarajeswaran &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
