This document discusses methods for evaluating crude drugs and herbal formulations. It outlines various compendial parameters for evaluation including identification, foreign matter, loss on drying, moisture content, residue on ignition, water and alcohol soluble extractives, heavy metals, pesticide residues, microbial contamination, aflatoxins, and assays. Methods are described for many of these tests including identification by macroscopic and microscopic examination, TLC/HPTLC. Loss on drying is determined by drying a sample to a constant weight. Total ash involves incinerating a sample and calculating the percentage of residue. Water and alcohol soluble extractives involve macerating a sample in water or alcohol and evaporating the filtrate to a constant weight.

A dye can generally be described as a colored substance that has an affinity to the fiber, fur or hair.
Melanin is what gives color to human skin, eyes, and hair. It’s the ratio of two types of melanin Eumelanin and Pheomelanin that determines your natural hair color.
This work was made possible while investigating the alternative to the synthetic and semi synthetic dyes.The composition of 100% herbal hair dye. The chemicals that are normally used in the dye are amino compounds (4-amino-2-hydroxytoluene and m-Aminophenol).Metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide and iron oxide, are also often used as colorants in the process.
Continuous usage of such compounds containing dye on natural hair causes so many side effects such as skin irritation, erythrema, loss or damage of hair and skin cancer.
Beauty is a multi-billion-dollar industry that’s continuing to grow. According to one industry report, cosmetics manufacturing will have brought in $255 billion in revenue globally in 2014.
Discovery of hair dye
In the 1800s, chemists found a substance called as para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and discovered its use in the creation of a synthetic dye.
The main aim and objective of present study is Formulation and evaluation of Herbal Hair Dye,(investigating the alternative to the synthetic and semi synthetic dyes. The composition of 100% herbal hair dye. )
Some research has suggested that using hair dye may lead to an increased risk of bladder cancer, In the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) May 2005, some research was published that looked into all the studies on hair dyes causing cancer.
An analysis of all these studies, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in May 2005, found that there may be a link between hair dye use and myeloma, lymphoma or some types of lymphoblastic leukemia.
In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that there is some evidence that hair dyes can increase the risk of bladder cancer for male hair dressers and barbers. This is because they are working with these chemicals all the time.
Those who reported regular use of the hair dye for at least 15 years were more than three times as likely to develop bladder cancer as non-dye users, concluded the study. Even some hairstylists and barbers were 50 per cent more likely to have bladder cancer than those who did not experience occupational exposure
Because of the manufacturing hazards, environmental pollution, its side and toxic effects there is a vital need for an alternative to the existing black dye. These limitations of the chemically derived dye can only be overcome by replacing the constituents in the composition, by non toxic ingredients derived from herbal resources.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Compendial evaluation for evaluation of crude and herbal drugs

QA SEM I I
INDUBHAI PATEL COLLEGE OF PHARMACY & RESEARCH CENTRE, DHARMAJ
2. TABLE OF CONTENT
What is crude drug?
What is herbal drug?
What is herbal formulation?
General Compendial parameters for their evaluation?
Methods for evaluation.
3. CRUDE DRUG
A crude drug is naturally occurring unprocessed
drug derived from plant, animal or
microorganisms intended for human or Veterinary
uses like medicine, nutritional supplements,
dietary fiber/ingredients or cosmetics.
4. HERBAL DRUGS
Herbal drugs are mainly whole, fragmented, or broken plants, cut
parts of plants, algae, fungi or lichen, in an unprocessed state,
usually in dried form but sometimes fresh. Certain exudates that
have not been subjected to a specific treatment are also
considered to be herbal drugs.
Herbal drugs are precisely defined by the botanical scientific
name according to the binominal system (genus, species, variety
and author).
Example: Neem leaf - Dried leaf of Azadirachta indica A. Juss.
5. HERBAL FORMULATIONS
Herbal drug formulations obtained by subjecting herbal drugs to
treatments such as extraction, distillation, expression, fractionation,
purification, concentration or fermentation.
Herbal drug preparations include, for example, extracts, essential
oils, expressed juices, processed exudates, and herbal drugs that
have been subjected to size reduction for specific applications, for
example herbal drugs cut for herbal teas or powdered for
encapsulation.
The herbal drug preparation thus obtained can also be converted to
formulations like tablet,capsules, aerosols ,liquid formulations with
single ingredient or mutiple ingredient.
e.g, Triphla tablets.
6. COMPENDIAL EVALUTION OF CRUDE DRUGS AND
HERBAL FORMULATIONS.
Parameters for evaluation of crude drugs:
IDENTIFICATION
TEST FOR FOREIGN MATTER
LOSS ON DRYING
MOISTURE CONTENT*
RESIDUE ON IGNITION
WATER AND ALCOHOL SOLUBLE EXTRACTIVES
HEAVY METALS
PESTICIDE RESIDUE TEST*
MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION*
TOTAL AFLATOXINS AND OCHRATOXINS
ASSAY
BITTERNESS VALUE
SWELLING INDEX
7. METHODS FOR EVALUATION
PARAMETERS
1) Identification:
Is done for authentication of drug as well as to identify if any
adulterant is added.
Methods:
Macroscopic characters
Microscopic characters
TLC/HPTLC
(It is performed as described In individual monograph)
8. 2) TEST FOR FOREIGN MATTER
Any organism, part or product of an organism, other than that named
in the specification and description of the plant material concerned.
Material not adhering to the medicinal plant materials, such as soil,
stones, sand, and dust.
Recommended procedure:
Weigh 100 –500 mg of the drug sample to be examined, or the
minimum quantity prescribed in the monograph. spread it out in a
thin layer.
The foreign matter should be detected by inspection with the unaided
eye or by the use of a lens (6x).
Separate and weigh it and calculate the percentage present.
9. 3) LOSS ON DRYING/TOTAL SOLIDS
The test for loss on drying determines both water and volatile
matter in crude drug.
Loss on drying is the loss of mass expressed as % w/w and can be
determined by following procedure.
2.6.5. Total Solids
The term 'total solids' is applied to the residue obtained when
the prescribed amount of the preparation is dried to constant
weight under the conditions specified below.
10. Apparatus
Shallow, flat-bottomed, flanged dishes, about 7.5cm in
diameter and about 25 mm deep, made of nickel or other suitable
Metal of high heat conductivity and which is not affected by
boiling water.
Method
Weigh accurately or measure an accurate quantity of the substance under
examination stated in the individual monograph, place in a tared dish, evaporate
at as low a temperature as possible until the solvent is removed and heat
on a water-bath until the residue is apparently dry. Transfer to an oven and dry
to constant weight at 105°, unless otherwise stated in the monograph. Owing to
the hygroscopic nature of certain residues, it may be necessary to use dishes
provided with well-fitting covers and to cool in a desiccator.
11. 4) MOISTURE CONTENT*
By using Karl Fischer apparatus to be performed only in
dry powder drug or formulations
5) RESIDUE ON IGNITION
OR TOTAL ASH VALUE
“Remnant of the crude drugs after incineration contains mostly inorganic salts and non-volatile
inorganic components known as Ash”
Method:
Take a 2-3 gm of the air dried crude drug in the tared platinum or silica dish and
incinerate at temp. not exceeding 675 + 25°C.
Then Collect the residue on ash less filter paper which is Free from carbon, cool
and Weigh.
Calculate the % of Ash with Reference to air dried drug.
Muffle furnace can be used for this purpose.
Further the acid insoluble ash and water-soluble ash can also be done for
evaluation.
12. Method:
Take a 2-3 gm of the air dried crude drug (initial weight)in the
tared platinum or silica dish and incinerate at temp. not
exceeding 675 + 25°C.
Then Collect the residue on ash less filter paper which is Free
from carbon, cool and Weigh(final weight).
Calculate the % of Ash with Reference to air dried drug.
% total ash = (final weight / initial weight) * 100
Muffle furnace can be used for incineration at higher
temperatures.
Further the acid insoluble ash and water-soluble ash can also be
done for evaluation.
13. 6) WATER AND ALCOHOL SOLUBLE
EXTRACTIVES
The water soluble extractive value play an important role for the
evaluation of crude drugs.
E.g water soluble extractive of ginger is expected to be in
the range of the 10% with respect to air dried material,
lowering of this extractive value indicates the addition of
exhausted material with the original drug.
14. METHOD I : WATER SOLUBLE EXTRACTIVES AND ALCOHOL
SOLUBLE EXTRACTIVES
Take 5 gm of air dried powder
Macerated with 100 ml of water/alcohol for 24 hours
Shaking frequently during the 1st 6 hours and allow to stand
for 18 hours
Thereafter filter rapidly
Evaporate 25 ml of the filtrate to dryness in a tared flat-bottomed
shallow dish, dry at 105°C and weight
Calculate the % of water soluble extractive with reference to
the air dried drug has to be calculated.
15. Method-II only for water soluble extractives
Take 5 gm of air dried powder in 50 ml water
Heated at 80°C in stopper flask
Shake well and allow standing for 10 min
Cool,
add 2gm of kieselguhr and filter
Transfer 5 ml of the filtrate to a tared evaporating dish
Evaporate solvent on a water bath
Continue drying for 30 minutes, finally dry in steam oven for 2
hours and weigh the residue
Calculate the % of water soluble extractive with reference to the
air dried drug has to be calculated
16. Following tests are specified in pharmacopeias :
7) HEAVY METALS: The limit for heavy metals is
indicated in the individual monographs in terms of ppm,
i.e., the part per million parts (by weight) of the substance
being examined. e.g., lead, mercury, arsenic.
8)PESTICIDE RESIDUE TEST* : Pesticides are
chemicals derived from synthetic and natural sources which
are effective in small concentrations against pest.
9)TOTAL AFLATOXINS AND OCHRATOXINS
10)ASSAY : to check active ingredient as per individual
monograph
17. 11)MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION*:
this test is done to control the viable microorganism in drug or
product.
Methods:
1) Total viable count :
a. total plate count method
b. Membrane filtration method
c. serial dilution method
2) Tests for specified organisms(pathogens):
Such as Salmonella, pseudomonas, E.coli.
3) Test for yeast and molds (fungi).: which occurs only in water
soluble drugs.
