3) TASTE:
Taste was checked manually by tasting the product.
4) pH DETERMINATION :
Weighed 10 g of toothpaste placed in 150 ml beaker. Added 10 ml of boiled and then
cooled water. Stirred vigorously to make a suspension. Measured the pH of the
suspension using pH meter.

22. EVALUATION OF TOOTH PASTE
5) STABILITY:
 Stability of toothpaste is checked by exposing the product at 45±2 ̊ C for a period of 28
days.
 After storage, no phase separation, fermentation and gassing was observed.
 Also exposed to refrigerator conditions at 2-8 ̊ C for 24 hours. The product was
observed to be stable even at refrigerated conditions.
6)DETERMINATION OF SHARP AND EDGE ABRASIVE PARTICLES:
 Took the contents on to the finger and scratched on the butter paper for 15-20 cm long
to check for the presence of any sharp or abrasive particles.
 Repeated the same process for at ten times.
 No sharp or abrasive particles were found.

 Took one gram of toothpaste, placed on a glass slide (10 x 10 cm) and
covered with another glass slide. Then carefully placed two kg weight on
covered glass slide (sliding, shall not take place).
 Measured the spreading (in cm) of the toothpaste after 3 minutes.
 Repeated the experiment and took the average value of three readings.

 Weighed accurately about 10g of toothpaste and placed in a 100 ml beaker.
 Added 50 ml of water, and allowed to stand for 30 min with stirring until the
paste is completely dispersed.
 Transferred the solution to 150μ & 75μ IS sieves and washed with a slow
stream of tap water.
 Allowed the running tap water to drain of completely and dried the sieve at
105±2 ̊C by placing it in an oven.
 Transferred the residue particle present on the sieve on to a watch glass and
weighed it.
Calculation:
Material on the sieve % = (Retained mass / Material taken) x 100.

25. EVALUATION OF TOOTH PASTE

 Weighed 5g of toothpaste in to a 100 ml glass beaker.
 Added 10 ml of water, covered the glass beaker with a watch glass and kept
aside for 30 minutes.
 Heated the suspension gently to dissolve the detergent if present in it.
 Stirred the suspension with glass rods and transferred it to 250 ml measuring
cylinder.
 Examined if no foam is produced (more than 2 ml).
 Transfer the residue retained in the beaker to measuring cylinder by adding of
5-6 ml of water.
 Then make up the cylinder with 50ml of water.
 Stir the contents with up-down movements to get uniform suspension at 30̊ C.
 After shaking, kept the cylinder aside for 5 minutes.
 And final note the volume obtained with foam + water.

26. CONCLUSION
 Traditional knowledge systems of plant-
based treatments provide modern society
with an opportunity to reduce the adverse
effects such as resistance to antibiotics
and staining of teeth.
 The active principle of herbal plants should
be incorporated into modern health care
