Siddha is a traditional medical system of India. According to siddha system of medicine, chendooram is a red colour powder generally made of metallic compounds. Mercury is used in the form of rasa chendooram (red oxide of mercury). This paper deals with the standardization of Kantha chendooram. It is a Siddha preparation of 8 ingredients, viz. 1. Purified Lode Stone, 2. Purified Sulphur, 3. Lea...

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) has been used for centuries to minimize color in food processing and fruit and vegetable storage. In the sugar industry, it is used routinely by sugar beet processors to reduce and prevent color formation in white refined sugar. Sugarcane processors throughout the world use SO2 to produce plantation white sugars. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of SO2 on ...

Lime disease or phytophotodermatitis is a phototoxic inflammatory cutaneous eruption that occurs when skin is exposed to furanocoumarin-containing plants and sunlight. The presentations range from mild erythema to acute blisters or bullae.1 Common causative plants include lime, lemons, figs, parsnips and celery. The diagnosis is clinical and relies on meticulous review of exposure history, corr...

The clarification of mixed juice has been the subject of research for decades, due mostly to its large impact on sugar quality. Much, if not all, of the work has however been done on mixed juice originating from milling rather than from diffusion. This paper examines a back-to-basics, laboratory approach, involving cane juices produced from conditions simulating milling and diffusion. Furthermo...

background and objectives: recognizing the impurities of sugar beet and also comparing different methods of juice purification have shown that the chemical purification based on lime and carbon dioxide is really efficient and economic in the sugar industry. factories have to control and improve purification stages to achieve clear juice with high chemical purity, low color, minimum hardness, su...

Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Medical College, Calcutta, The dried pulp of the mango (Mangifera Indica) contains such a large amount of Citric Acid as to make this common fruit not at all an inefficient substitute for lime-juice when the latter cannot readily be obtained as an antiscorbutic. A quantitative analysis of three different samples of mango-pulp, which had been dried by exposure t...
