Gandha Dravya

• Dalchini etc.. Drugs used.
• 1/6 or 1/8 part of oil
•  made into fine powder
•  mixed with oil
• When oil is leuke warm

Need of Standardization

• * Since the Oil /Ghrita is heated with many drugs during the process of preparation in the Snehakalpana, the analytical values of raw Oil/Ghrita are expected to undergo alterations due to one or more of the following reasons :
• * * 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.
• Why foam disappears
• Ghrita
• Saturated acids
•  water +heat ®break down into
• Saturated acids + Glycerols (on Hydrolysis)
•  evaporation of water
• Foam does not appear
• Why foam appears
• Oil
• unsaturated fatty acids
•  heat with water (oxidation)
• formation of oxides
•  releases
• foam
•  on vapour analysis
