Deepti Rangnani, DOI: 10.24214/IJGHC/GC/11/2 /14250

In present study the adsorption of Mn (II) on the dry biomass of Lantana Camara plant from their aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out by changing different parameters such as contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage and initial metal concentration, equilibrium isotherm were also tested and maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 21.55 mg/g for Lantana Camara Leaves and 20.45 mg/g for Lantana Camara Acid Activated Charcoal Leaves for Mn (II). The FTIR data confirm the presence of various functional groups -OH, C-O, C-O-C and -CONH2 for metal binding and SEM pictures shows the surface morphology is suitable for metal adsorption.">">

Sreenivas Vasam and Aruna Mallaram ,DOI: 10.24214/IJGHC/GC/11/2 /15159.

In order to investigate their potential use in bio-ethanol production, the chemical composition of banana and orange fruit wastes (pulp and peels) was evaluated in the laboratory Department of Chemistry Kakatiya Govt.  College. Banana fruit pulp contained 76.63 percent moisture, 5.65 percent protein, 1.37 percent lipid, 19.75 percent ash, and 0.632 percent starch. Orange fruit pulp contained 51.26 percent moisture, 4.96 percent protein, 1.48 percent lipid, 10.08 percent ash, and 0.507 percent starch. The total dietary fibre content of the fruit samples ranged from 3.54 percent to 73.04 percent, with banana peels containing the most. Wastes from banana and orange peels and pulps were simultaneously saccharified and fermented for 7 days by a co-culture of Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. At 24 hour intervals, the ethanol yield was determined. According to the study's findings, pineapple peels had the highest biomass yield after 7 days of fermentation, followed by banana peels, orange peels, and pea peels. Orange fruit peels had the highest polyphenol content of 54.45%, while banana fruit pulp had the lowest polyphenol content of 10.97%. The optimal ethanol yields for banana and orange peels were 8.34 percent v/v and 2.58 percent v/v, respectively. These results show that the ethanol yields from pineapple and banana peels were significantly higher than those from orange and pea peels.

A Review on Sustained Release Drug Delivery System

Khushboo Rajoria, Dr.Shiv Garg, Dr.Ajay KumarTiwari, Dr.Piush Sharma Dr.Bharat Parashar and Bhawana Sharma,DOI: 10.24214/IJGHC/GC/11/2/16069.

formulation scientists in the pharmaceutical business are increasingly interested in the benefits of providing a single dose of a drug that is released over a long period of time rather than many doses sustained release drug delivery has several advantages over traditional dosage forms including improved patient compliance due to less frequent drug administration maximum drug utilisation increased safety margin of potent drug reduced fluctuation in steady-state drug levels lower healthcare costs due to improved therapy and a shorter treatment period polymers such as hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose hpmccarboxy methyl cellulose cmc ethyl cellulose ec cellulose acetate phthalate hpmc k100m xanthan gum carrageenan gum karaya gum hpmc k15 carbopol 971p and carbopol 974p are among the many available.  This review article discusses the fundamentals of prolonged-release formulation, including its benefits and drawbacks, medication selection for sustained release, release mechanism, different varieties, and factors to consider when designing an oral sustained-release dosage form.

GCMS Profiling of Prasarinyadi Kashayam - An Anti-inflammatory Ayurvedic Formulation                           ">

P.V. Girija , N.K. Renuka, and K.K. Vijayan,DOI: 10.24214/IJGHC/GC/11/2 /17082.

Prasarinyadi kashayam is an Ayurvedic formulation used in the treatment of joint pain, musculoskeletal problems, frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis and headache. Our aim is to experimentally prove the efficiency of Prasarinyadi kashayam. Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS) is used to identify the components present in the volatile oil of the Prasarinyadi kashayam. The volatile oil was extracted using Clevenger apparatus. The compounds identified are ar-Curcumene, Thunbergol, Eudesmol, Carotol, Calamenene, 4-O-methyl syringic acid, Cembrene and [6]-Paradol. On the basis of reported works, the present study confirmed the presence of biologically important compounds in the volatile oil of Prasarinyadi kashayam. Thus this study helps to recertify the efficiency of Prasarinyadi kashayam.">

This study was conducted with the aim of improving the used water quality of the Alibori River through natural treatment in order to preserve the health of the surrounding populations. To this end, we carried out a set of physicochemical and microbiological tests on water samples from the Alibori River, treating them with an extract of the seed of Garcinia kola by the process of Jar test (coagulation-flocculation process). At the end of our various experiments, it appears that the seed of Garcinia kola is rich in highly varied phytochemical compounds which give it the quality of a natural coagulant. Physical and chemical parameters such as temperature, conductivity, Total dissolved solids (TDS), oxidizing power, redox potential, showed relative sensitivity at different doses to Garcinia kola extract. The jar test carried out with an extract of the seed revealed the purifying capacity of this seed. The turbidity of the treated water was reduced by up to 38.12%. The reduction in copper and nitrate was respectively 25% and 6.02%. In addition, the seed of Garcinia kola has an antimicrobial power which increases with the dose. This seed, in addition to its many biological properties, is a great alternative in the field of drinking water treatment.

Insecticidal activity of the essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. (Myrtaceae) on Sitophilus zeamais Motsch. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Tribolium castaneum Herbst, corn pests in storage

Bokobana Essolakina Magnim, Nadio Nafadjara Abouwaliou, Eloh Kodjo, Akantetou Pikassalé, Tozoou Panawé, Koba Koffi, Sanda Komla,DOI: 10.24214/IJGHC/GC/11/2 /19300

To contribute to a sustainable management of cereal pests in stocks, Eucalyptus globulus essential oil (EO) toxicity on Sitophilus zeamais and Tribolium castaneum was evaluated in vitro. The EO of E. globulus was extracted by steam distillation and analyzed by GC-MS. Toxicity tests on pests adults was carried out by fumigation bioasay. GC-MS results showed that major compounds were p-cymene (23.38%), d-limonene (12.16%), l, 8-cineole (24.47 %) and γ-terpinene (29.91 %). Toxicity results showed that E. globulus is toxic to pests with 100% mortality after 24 h at a concentration of 0.2 ml.L-1 and 0.1 ml.L-1 of essential oil on S. zeamais and on T. castaneum, respectively. LC50 value after 24 h of exposure was 0.038 ml.L-1 for T. castaneum and 0.064 ml.L-1 for S. zeamais. These results suggest that E. globulus can be used in a sustainable protection of cereals in stock against S. zeamais and T. castaneum.

Pradnya Khandke, Pratiksha More, Aakash Singare and Nanda Korde,DOI: 10.24214/IJGHC/GC/11/2/20915

The principle of ultra-sonication during the low pressure cycle, high intensity ultrasonic waves create small vacuum bubble attain a volume at which they can no longer absorb energy they collapse violently during a high pressure cycle this phenomenon is termed as Cavitation which is responsible for quick and speedy reaction through the stirring of the reaction mixture. The present work narrates the comparison of ultrasonic waves mediated organic synthesis with the conventional methods in respect of % yield, time required for the completion of the reaction and purity of the product. The reactions are selected which requires more stirring time for completion and carried out at ambient temperature by the conventional method compared with the ultrasound irradiation method and it is concluded that the ultrasonic waves mediated organic reaction requires less time, gives high %yield and high purity as compared to the conventional method.
