NOTE: Practical of the subject shall be designed from time to time on the basis of the above-mentioned theoretical topics and availability of the facilities, e.g. Extraction of the active constituents of crude drugs and chemical tests for their identification. Isolation and separation of active constituents of crude drugs by paper and thin layer chromatography.
Also include the following experiments:
- Determination of Iodine value; Saponification value and unsaponifiable matter; ester value; Acid value.
- Chemical tests for Acacia; Tragacanth; Agar; Starch; Lipids. (castor oil, sesame oil, shark liver oil, bees wax); Gelatin. (Note: A minimum of 10 practicals will be conducted).
