Procedure Of Herbal Hair Oil
Evaluation Of Herbal Hair Oil
The formulated Hair oil was Evaluated using organoleptic parameters and physicochemical parameters like pH, Acid Value, Saponification Value, Refractive Index, viscosity.
In this test, color, Odour and skin irritation test are being observed. This test performs manually. Oil is applied on the hand and exposed it to sunlight. Result is observed by 5mins.
Acid Value-
10 ml Oil added 25 ml ethanol & 25 ml ether. Penolphthalin used as indicator & titrated with 0.1M Potassium Hydroxide solution.
Acid value =5.61n/w
Saponification Value-
2g Oil weigh and transferred 250 ml Iodine flask 25 ml of 0.5M alcoholic Potassium hydroxide added then boiled under Reflex water bath for 30min phwnophthalin was used indicator titrated against 0.5M HCL.
Saponification value =28.05(b-a)/w
Where,
w=weight in gram of solution
pH-
pH check by using pH meter.
