Evaluation Of Herbal Hair Oil : 11
The prepared oil where then subjected to physical and biological evaluation .
Physical Evaluation:
The formulated herbal oil was evaluated for parameters In physical evaluation parameters like specific gravity , pH, acid value, refractive index, viscosity, organoleptic parameters and saponification value are conducted.
Initially empty specific gravity bottle was weighed. Then the same specific gravity bottle was filled with water and again weighed. Later specific gravity bottle was replaced with hair tonic and weighed again. Weights are noted and thus specific gravity of hair oil was calculated.
pH of the herbal hair oil was detected using pH meter. The obtained pH value is noted down.
The acid value of an oil is determined by titrating a solution of the oil in diethyl ether with an alcoholic solution of sodium or potassium hydroxide.
To determine the refractive index of herbal hair oil, you can use a refractometer:
1. Adjust the refractometer’s temperature
2. Spread the oil sample on a clean prism
3. Read the index of refraction from the telescope scale
4. Wash the prism with hot water.
5. Viscosity :
Use a viscometer to measure the viscosity . It is the process of calculating a liquid’s flow resistance; the higher the viscosity , the larger the flow resistance. The viscosity was measured Using an Ostwald viscometer.
6. Organoleptic parameters :
Organoleptic parameters for evaluating herbal hair oil include:
Phyto Chemical Screening of Herbal Hair Oil:
The synthesized herbal oil was subjected to qualitative chemical analysis.6
