Introduction: Mrityunjaya Rasa is a herbo–mineral formulation mentioned under Jwara Chikitsa in Rasendra Sara Sangraha along with different Anupanas. It is having ingredients like Shudha Hingula, Shudha Gandhaka, Shudha Vatsanabha, Shudha Tankana, Pippali and Maricha which show significant result on various types of fever. Aim: To prepare Mrityunjaya Rasa as per guidelines given in classical text book Rasendra Sara Sangraha and to validate physico-chemical analysis of the sample. Methods: The preparation of Mrityunjaya Rasa was carried out at practical hall, Department of Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College of Ayurveda, Kuthpady, Udupi, Karnataka. It was subjected to analysis on parameters like organoleptic characters, loss on drying, total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, pH, alcohol soluble extractive value, and water soluble extractive value. Results: The results of Analytical study showed specific characteristics which are in accordance with the properties of Mrityunjaya Rasa. Conclusion: The study showed significant results, which proves quality of the drugs and efficacy.

Background: Desmodium velutinum (Fabaceae) is one of the wild edible plants used traditionally to treat diarrhoea, haematuria, infertility and also externally used to treat scorpion bites. Though various parts of the plant have been used for therapeutic purpose, panchanga of the plant has not been studied for its Pharmacognostical and phytochemical characteristics in detail, following scientific parameters. Hence in the present study Desmodium velutinum whole plant has been studied for its pharmacognostical and phytochemical characters and compared with commonly used species Desmodium gangeticum. Methods: Whole plant of Desmodim velutinum was collected from Paikmal, Odisha and Desmodium gangeticum was collected from Junagarh, Gujarat in the month of November 2019 following good collection practices and shade dried. Pharmacognostical study and analytical study were performed following standard pharmacopoeial procedures. Results: Whole plant (Panchanga) of former is sweetish and latter is bitter. Powder microscopy of Desmodium gangeticum showed presence of rhomboidal crystals and lignified annular and spiral vessels. Desmodium velutinum showed presence of prismatic crystals and lignified pitted vessels. Physico-chemical analysis showed higher loss on drying in Desmodium gangeticum, and higher water soluble extractive values of Desmodium velutinum. Phytochemical estimation showed the presence of Proteins, tannins, and carbohydrates in both samples. HPTLC study showed similar Rf value 0.82 and 0.94 at 254 and 0.03 and 0.41 at 366nm. Conclusion: Basing upon the analytical and microscopic similarities Desmodium velutinum may be considered as substitute of Desmodium gangeticum

The physical and chemical characteristics of the fruit have immense significance as they ultimately affect the quality of processed productsprepared from them. Over ripening of Sapota (Manilkara zapota) fruits at the post-harvest stage usually results in dramatic decline in quality.In the present study, physico chemical analysis (which includes Weight loss, Colour, Texture, TSS, pH, TA and Ascorbic acid content) ofedible Aloe vera gel coated Sapota fruits packed in LDPE and stored at 15 ± 2? were studied at regular intervals of 5 days i.e., 0th,5th, 10th,15thand 20th days. The dip treatment of Aloe vera gel coating 1:2, 7 minutes had best retained the physico chemical characteristics than the othertreatments performed and was found to be the most effective treatment in maintaining the fruit quality attributes along with the shelf lifeextension of about 20 days.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v3i1.11703 Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol. 3(1): 20-25

Neste trabalho foi avaliada a qualidade do leite pasteurizado distribuído pelo Programa do Leite na microrregião do Seridó Oriental do Rio Grande do Norte. Para a avaliação do leite, foram aplicadas listas de verificação nos pontos de coleta do município de Currais Novos em que foi observada insuficiência do espaço físico e da infraestrutura, ausência de espaço coberto para abrigar filas, ventilação, iluminação, sanitários, freezers, computador e telefone. Ainda, foi observado que não há dedetização e desratização periódicas do ambiente, higienização correta, acondicionamento adequado e coleta diária de lixo. Além disso, foram realizadas análises físico-químicas, que compreenderam a determinação de gordura, teste de alizarol, sólidos não gordurosos, acidez e índice crioscópico, de amostras do leite fornecido por 3 usinas de beneficiamento que fazem parte do programa. As listas de verificação apontaram resultados insatisfatórios quanto à dimensão e infraestrutura dos pontos de entrega. O percentual de amostras que se apresentaram fora dos padrões estabelecidos pela legislação para as análises físico-químicas de gordura, acidez e índice crioscópico foi, respectivamente, 87,5, 62,5 e 100%. Diagnostic of Quality of Pasteurized Milk Distributed by the Milk Program in the Micro Eastern Seridó – RN ABSTRACT - This work evaluated the quality of pasteurized milk delivered by the milk program in the micro eastern Served Rio Grande do Norte. For the evaluation of milk, checklists were applied at collection points in the municipality of New corrals where insufficient physical space and infrastructure, absence of covered rows to house, ventilation, lighting, plumbing, freezers, computer space was observed and phone. Still, it was observed that there is no periodic fumigation and pest control of the environment, proper sanitation, adequate storage and daily garbage collection. In addition, physical and chemical analyzes, which comprised the determination of fat, alizarol test, not fat solids, acidity and cryoscopic index of the milk samples provided by three beneficiation plants that are part of the program were conducted. The checklists showed unsatisfactory results regarding the size and infrastructure of delivery points. The percentage of samples that were outside of the standards established by law for the physico-chemical analysis of fat, acidity and cryoscopic index was, respectively, 87.5, 62.5 and 100%.

To prepare any formulation in bulk quantity it needs a machine. The machines which manufacture the formulations in a bulk quantity will work on the basis of modern techniques. These techniques can be adopted to prepare different dosage forms through their method of preparations. Churna is also one among the different dosage forms which is having versatile usage and need to be prepared in bulk quantity. To achieve this, different modern methods like size reduction, size separation and mixing of powders and techniques viz. cutting, compression, impact, attrition and combined effect of impact and attrition are adopted, along with this sieving and mixing techniques are also adopted. To assure the quality of churna kalpana physico chemical analysis should be done like fineness of Particles, Presence of Heavy Metals, Test for microbial contamination etc.

Background: Shilajatu or Adrija is one of the Maharasa, which is considered as a wonderful medicine in Ayurveda. It is named as it comes out of the stones heated by the sun in summer in the form of thick blackish exudation having many shades. Since it contain stone, mud, wood, sand and various physical and metallic impurities, Shodhana (Purification) of Shilajatu is a mandatory procedure. It has been used as a prime ingredient in many formulations mainly for Prameha, Sotha, Pandu Roga, Kshaya, Swasa, Pliha Vrudhi, Jwara, Agnimandya, Apasmara, etc. Objectives: Shodhana of Ashudha Shilajatu and Physico chemical analysis of Shodhita Shilajatu. Materials and Methods: Bhringaraja Swarasa for Shodhana of Shilajatu. Results:It took 8 days for completion of Shilajatu Shodhana. XRD Analysis report indicates that the sample Shilajatu was Amorphous material. Conclusion: Total yield of Shodhita Shilajatu was 99.6%. The Sample of Shilajatu was found to be Amorphous material in XRD Analysis hence crystal structure was not identified.
