A Pharmacognostical and Pharmaceutical evaluation of Dhanyamla

Introduction: Dhanyamla is a medicated liquid preparation produced by fermentation process of various grains. Dhanyamla is cold at perception by its nature as it is a sour liquid and Ayurvedic classics opine that amla rasa is of cold nature if used externally. It is commonly used for management of Diabetic Polyneuropathy which commonly presents with burning sensation, loss of strength, loss of balance, loss of sensation, numbness etc. especially of feet. Materials and methods: Raw drugs of Dhanyamla as per the reference in Sahasrayogam were purchased from the local market of Jamnagar, Gujarat. It was prepared as per the standard preparation procedure at Department of Rasa shastra and Bhaishajya kalpana, IPGT&amp;RA, GAU, Jamnagar. The final product was then subjected to pharmacognostical and pharmaceutical analysis. Pharmacognosy of Dhanyamla was carried out by preparing a slide made with glass slide and cover slip. Then this slide was observed under the Carl Zeiss Trinocular microscope. Organoleptic characters and physico-chemical parameters were noted. HPTLC was performed and observed under short UV (254 nm) and long UV (366 nm). Results: Pharmacognosy study of Dhanyamla revealed presence of starch content and oil globules. Analytical study of Dhanyamla showed 14 spots and 20 spots at 254 nm and 366 nm respectively. Specific Gravity, pH and total solid contents were 1.0033, 3.257 and 55.334 respectively. Discussion and conclusion: The presence of both carbohydrate and oil content would have been the reason of having soothing and mild nourishing effect.&nbsp

Study on Spheroidization and Related Heat Treatments of Medium Carbon Alloy Steels

The importance of medium carbon steels as engineering materials is reflected by the fact that out of the vast majority of engineering grade ferrous alloys available and used in the market today, a large proportion of them are from the family of medium carbon steels. Typically medium carbon steels have a carbon range of 0.25 to 0.65% by weight, and a manganese content ranging from 0.060 to 1.65% by weight. Medium carbon steels are more resistive to cutting, welding and forming as compared to low carbon steels. From the last two decades a number of research scholars reported the use of verity of heat treatments to tailor the properties of medium carbon steels. Spheroidizing is the novel industrial heat treatment employed to improve formability and machinability of medium/high carbon low alloy steels. This exclusive study covers procedure, the effects and possible outcomes of various heat treatments on medium carbon steels. In the present work, other related heat treatments like annealing and special treatments for property alterations which serve as pretreatments for spheroidizing are also reviewed. Medium carbon steels with property alterations by various heat treatment processes are finding increased responsiveness in transportation, aerospace, space, underwater along with other variegated fields. Improved tribological and mechanical properties consisting of impact resistance, stiffness, abrasion and strength are the main reasons for the increased attention of these steels in various industries. In the present scenario for the consolidation of important aspects of various heat treatments and effects on mechanical properties of medium carbons steel, a review of different research papers has been attempted. This review may be used as a guide to provide practical data for heat treatment industry, especially as a tool to enhance workability and tool life

Effect of stacking sequence on properties of coconut leaf sheath/jute/ E-glass reinforced phenol formaldehyde hybrid composites

In the present study, the effect of stacking sequence on mechanical, physical, and biodegradability properties of treated coconut leaf sheath/jute/glass fabric reinforced phenol formaldehyde hybrid composites were studied. The hybrid composite laminates were fabricated by using hand lay-up technique. The specimen preparation and testing were conducted as per ASTM standards. Obtained results indicated that the incorporation of coconut leaf sheath with glass fiber of hybrid composites has greater effect on tensile and hardness properties. Coconut leaf sheath fibers treated with NaOH solution shows significant improvement for adhesion between fiber and matrix. Water absorption plots for different periods of immersion indicated that coconut leaf sheath with glass hybrid composites offer better resistance to water absorption than pure natural fiber reinforced composites. Thickness swelling of the hybrid composites increases due to increase in the percentage of water absorption of the composites. From SEM analysis of the tensile fractured surface of hybrid composites, it is found that the failure of composite is due to poor interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix. An overall comparison of all the laminates revealed that the hybrid laminates of coconut leaf sheath with extreme glass fibers plies as skin layer is the optimum combination with a good balance between the properties. So they may be suited in manufacturing of car doors, car interiors, dash boards, headliners, decking, parcel shelves, pallets, spare tyre covers, spare-wheel pan, seat backs, etc
