Formulation and Development of Polyherbal Shampoo Powder:

Evaluation of Polyherbal Shampoo Powder:-

Powder Characteristics:- Procedure:- 1)Particle size:-

particle size was determined by sieving method by using I.P. Standard sieves by mechanical shaking for 10 min.

2)Angle of Repose:-

1. Required quality of dried powder is taken in a funnel placed at a height of 6 cm from a horizontal base.
2. The powder was allowed to flow to form a heap over the paper on the horizontal plane.
3. The height and radius of the powder was noted and recorded.

3)Bulk density

1. Required amount of the powder is dried and filled in a 50 ml measuring cylinder up to 50 ml mark.

2. Then cylinder is dropped on to a hard wood surface from a height of 1 inch at 2 second intervals.
3. The volume of the powder is measured.
4. Then the powder is weighted.
5. This is repeated to get averaged values.

4. Tap Density

Weigh a specific amount of the powder sample(Typically around 10-20g).

1. Fill the graduated cylinder or volumetric flask with the powder ensuring it’s filled to a predetermined mark. Record the initial volume.
2. Tap the container or use a tap density tester.Tap it consistently for a specific number of tap(Usually 100-1000taps) To allow the particle of settle.
3. After taping, record the final volume of the powder.

Organoleptic Character:-

Foaming Activity:-

Procedure:-

1. 5gram of each polyherbal shampoo powder
2. Taken in a 250ml graduated cylinder
3. 100ml of water added
4. Then, shaken for 5-10 times

5. Then, Boil the solution and filtrate.
6. Total volume of the foam contents after 1min shaking were recorded.
7. Repeat this procedure again 2 times but value are change.

Foaming Ability:
