  • * * Heat induced changes due to protracted boiling.
  • * * Oxidation changes due to open heating or due to presence
  • * of drugs during heating for a long time.
  • * * Changes brought about by the incorporation of fat soluble
  • * fractions from the drugs.
  • * * Changes brought about by the mixing in of fats or oils
  • other than ghee.
  • * These changes are expected to be reflected as alterations
  • in Physico-Chemical constants obtained for Oil/Ghee.
