Value addition of bulk curl tear cut (CTC) black tea is important to meet emerging customer needs and address challenges in a competitive beverage market. Spicing of the tea is one way of value addition but little or no research has been done on the biochemical effect of blending tea with spices and consumer acceptability. A study was conducted to determine the effect of spices on consumer acceptability; pricing and anti-oxidant capacities of black CTC tea consumed in the Kenyan market. Six spices and a spice mix including; ginger, lemon grass, nutmeg, cinnamon, rosemary and tea <em>masala</em> were used to develop aerated spice tea. The spice mix-tea <em>masala </em>comprised of ginger, cinnamon, cardamoms, cloves, black pepper and nutmeg. The threshold levels of spice-tea blends for commercial purposes were demonstrated using three highly rated spices i.e. cinnamon, lemon grass and ginger. Economic costing was done using the cinnamon spiced-tea. The results showed that black tea had the<em> highest antioxidant</em> activity of 92.66% against that of the highest spice cinnamon 89.89%. Antioxidant activity of spiced tea significantly (P&lt;=0.05) decreased with the quantity of added spice. Spices significantly (P&lt;=0.05) increased consumer preference of the black tea and the preferred spice-mix ratios also differed. Some spices were preferred more than others as shown by the three best rated spice-tea mixes including; cinnamon at 10% lemon grass at 5% and ginger at 15% which had mean scores of 6.74, 6.35 and 6.58 respectively on a hedonic scale.

Background: Oral candidiasis is widespread in the patients with immunodeficiency diseases. Chewing gums are considered as mobile drug delivery systems that affected locally or systemically via the oral cavity. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the formulation of clotrimazole chewing gums for patients having oral candidiasis. Materials and Methods: Fourteen formulations (F) were designed by Design-Expert, version 7. These formulations were different in the amount of gum bases and sweeteners. Gum bases of elvasti, 487, stick, and fruit C were heated up to 70°C. Clotrimazole powder, sugar, liquid glucose, glycerin, mannitol, xylitol, and maltitol as well as different flavoring agents were added to the gum bases at 40°C. Content and weight uniformity, organoleptic properties evaluation, releasing the active ingredient in the phosphate buffer pH, 6.8, and taste evaluation were analyzed by Latin square analysis. Also, the mechanical test was done on F13 and F14 formulations. Results: F14 was the best formulation in terms of organoleptic properties. This formulation had suitable size, hardness, softness, and lack of adhesion to teeth. F14 formulation released 89% and 97% of clotrimazole after 30 and 45 minutes, respectively. F14 content uniformity and weight variations were 9.83±0.086 mg and 1.14±0.09 g, respectively. F14 evaluation of mechanical properties showed Young’s modulus about 0.32 MPa, and yield point occurred at the stress of 0.599 MPa and strain of 4.1%. Conclusion: F14 was chosen according to its physicochemical and organoleptic properties. F14 had adequate hardness, lack of adhesion to the teeth, suitable size, and best drug release. Tutti Frutti was a proper flavoring agent for clotrimazole gum formulations.[GMJ.2021;10:e1084]

With the passing of time, the demand for dehydrated organic products has increased, ranging from vegetables to fruits, however in the latter efforts to achieve a quality product have led to the use of industrialized systems which depend on the use of fossil fuels or systems that use electric current which greatly increase production costs. At present, various solar dryer models have emerged, having achieved an optimal performance in what corresponds to the processing of vegetables, however in the processes of dehydration of fruits the results have not been satisfactory, due to the loss of its color, taste, aroma and texture (organoleptic properties). Faced with this problem, an innovative design of solar fruit dehydrator is proposed, which has two objectives, the first related to recovering the organoleptic properties through a system of condenzation, cyclic dehydration and the synchronization of the calorific balance, and the second one focused on the improvement of thermal efficiency, through the use of some heat piles and a trombe wall. The heat transfer fluid was improved, adding silver nanoparticles (silver nanospheres), which were synthesized using the green chemistry method; the efficiency of the heat transfer fluid was increased by 30%.

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to explore the Pharmacognostic parameters for the standardization of Rosa centifolia Petals.  Material and Methods: The flowers of Rosa centifolia were authenticated and shade dried. Rosa centifolia petals were collected then macromorphological, physiochemical assessment, and the micrometric study was carried out. The dried powder form of the Rosa centifolia Petals was then extracted with different solvent systems alcoholic, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether, and their extractive values were calculated. Most of the phytochemicals were found in ethanol and ethyl acetate fractions. Thin Layer chromatography (TLC) of the ethanol, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether extract was performed for important phytochemicals flavonoids and polyphenol. Flavonoids and phenolics showed their presence in all extracts with one spot in each extract for ethanol, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether. Result: The Physicochemical exploration showed values for moisture content, moisture sorption capacity, ash values, and extractive values which are within the limits of World Health Organization standards for the crude drug from medicinal plants. Micromeritic analysis of petal powder reveals good flowability. Ethanolic extractive values were found to be higher when compared to extractive values of, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether. Preliminary Phytochemical examination for the sample indicated the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids, and amino acids. Rf value for flavonoid and phenolic on TLC were found to be for ethanol 0.78 and 0.77, for ethyl acetate 0.81 and 0.78, for petroleum ether 0.81 and 0.78 respectively. Conclusions: The current research would be useful to supplement the information regarding pharmacognostical characteristics, physicochemical evaluation, micrometric analysis, and phytochemical exploration in the Ayurvedic system of medicine for its identification and medicinal use.  Keywords: Rosa centifolia, Macromorphological description, Physicochemical evaluation, Phytochemical screening, TLC screening.
