Yashtimadhu ghrita is a single-herbal ghee formulation mentioned in the classical texts of Ayurveda and is indicated in sadya kshatavrana (an acute inflammatory condition or an acute wound associated with trauma). It also minimizes the pain related to the wound. The present study is intended to create a finger print profile of Yastimadhu ghrita through its pharmacognostical identification and the physico-chemical analysis.  The genuineness of the dry specimen of Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn.) was confirmed through organoleptic evaluation and cross-sectional microscopy. Yashtimadhu ghrita was prepared  as per the Sneha paka (preparation of unctuous formulations using ghee, oil etc.) procedure mentioned in Sarngadhara Samhita Madhyama khanda and the standard operative procedures specified in Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia of India. The test result of the finished product shows Acid value 6.7, saponification value 213.4, and Refractive index value1.455 at room temperature, Iodine value 38.7, LOD 0.64. TLC and HPTLC were carried out for the characterization of the plant material in an appropriate solvent system. A total of nine spots were distinguished in 254 nm and five spots in 366 nm during the HPTLC scanning. The Rf value pertaining to the spots were identical in the methanolic extract which indicates the presence of definite constituents in Yashtimadhu ghrita.

Studies were carried out on the characterization of Eucalyptus globulus leaves oil. It is found that Eucalyptus globulus tree bears a lot of leaves which are grown under the soil texture and climatic condition of Bangladesh contain a fair amount of pale yellow  coloured volatile oil. The oil of the leaves were extracted by hydro distillation method     during the month of July to December. The highest yield (3.5%) of the oil was obtained from the maturity leaves of the tree in the month of July and the lowest yield (0.08) in the month of December. Physico-chemical characteristics of the extracted oil like saponification value, acid value, iodine value, specific gravity, refractive index, optical     rotation and separation of lipid classes were studied by the conventional methods and the results suggested that the oil can be used suitably for the preparation of pharmaceutical  and industrial products.

This study aimed to characterize and compare pili (Canarium ovatum Engl.) pulp oil from two different varieties of pili fruits in Bicol, Philippines namely M. Orolfo and Orbase varieties for possible utilization into oil-based products. The effects of varietal differences in pili fruits on physical, chemical and quality characteristics of its pulp oil were determined. These two oils were also compared with control oils, commercially available coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. Pili pulp oil from M. Orolfo had dark color while Orbase had color close to extra virgin olive oil. The two varieties did not significantly differ from each other in terms of refractive index, moisture and volatile matters, acid value, iodine value, saponification number and percent unsaponifiable matter but significantly differed from coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. On the other hand, the two varieties significantly differed from each other in terms of peroxide value, Vitamin A and α-tocopherol contents. In terms of fatty acid profile, high amounts of palmitic acid were determined in both pili varieties (19-25%) compared with coconut oil (6.34%). Oleic acid in Orbase was 71.5% while M. Orolfo had 58.1%, which are comparable with extra virgin olive oil (77.9%). Pili pulp oils from M. Orolfo and Orbase can be utilized into oilbased products because its chemical and quality characteristics are within the standard. Both can be stored for a longer period of time and healthier in terms of fatty acid composition and natural antioxidant content.

Due to the high demand for vegetable oil by soap industries, the quest for alternative raw material is on the increase. In this study, vegetable oil was extracted from the underutilise seeds of Lagenaria siceraria using n-hexane; The Physico-chemical properties of the oil were analysed: iodine value 65 Ig/100 g, acid value 2.50 mg/KOH/g, saponification value 256 mgKOH/g, pH 6.20, specific gravity 0.902, the refractive index of 1.47 and oil yield 52%. The properties of the oil were compared with oil extracted from other sources. The properties of the oil suggest it can use for both commercial and industrial purposes. The extracted oil was then used to prepared soap and its properties were compared with the properties of soaps prepared from other oils. The physicochemical parameters of the prepared soaps which include foam height, hardness, pH and cleansing power were evaluated. The soap made from Lagenaria siceraria seeds oil has foam height of 2.0 cm lower than palm kernel oil (2.1 cm) and higher than soya beans (0.55 cm). Soap made from Lagenaria siceraria seed oil has an appreciable degree of hardness and good cleansing power compared to soaps prepared from other oils. The pH of all the soaps prepared is within the standard of the regulating agency in Nigeria. From the result obtained, it shows the underutilised Lagenaria siceraria seed oil can use as an alternative raw material in the commercial production of soap.

AbstractA new testing technique for the characterization of the mechanical behavior of the interconnect structures of integrated circuit devices is introduced in this paper. Modified crosssectional nanoindentation (MCSN) is the result of extending cross-sectional indentation (CSN) to patterned structures. As in conventional CSN, a Berkovich indenter is used to initiate fracture in the silicon substrate beneath the interconnect structure. The cracks propagate through this structure, preferentially along the weakest interfaces in the system. A FIB (Focused Ion Beam) is used for sample preparation, machining a trench parallel to the indentation surface. In this way, the crack growth can be better controlled and the problem may be modeled in two dimensions.The technique has been used to study crack propagation in patterned structures as a function of thin film composition and processing. The results obtained, in terms of crack length along each interface studied, correlate well with the fracture energy measured by four-point bending (4 PB) in blanket films of the same materials. Finite element modeling of the stress fields in the vicinity of the crack tip has been carried out to understand the crack paths observed.

Abstract The major objective of this study is to report physico-chemical properties of sunflower oil samples collected from different stages of the technological process for sunflower oil refining for food industry. The samples of oil were crude oil, washed oil, bleached oil and deodorized oil. The physico-chemical properties of sunflower oil experimentally determined were density, saponification value (SV), iodine value (IV), and acid value (AV). It was found that the density of sunflower oil remains approximately constant over the different stages of the manufacturing flow of cooking oil, except the crude oil. The acid value significantly decreases from crude oil (2.588) to deodorized oil (0.366). The iodine value and saponification value of the different samples of the sunflower oil corresponding to different stages of oil processing varies slightly. The capacity of different models to accurately correlate and/or predict the density of vegetable oil was tested. The density of sunflower oil can be accurately estimated from its SV and IV or with an empirical equation, when density data are available.
