Allium sativum, family Alliaceae possessess antixidant, antimicrobial, antitumour, antimutagenic, antiinflammatory, antiviral and antiulcer properties. The aim of this study was to take the benefit of the nature of A. sativum extract and prepare shampoo incorporating in the herbal constituent base and evaluate this natural herbal shampoo. The herbal shampoo formulations comprising of aqueous extract of Allium sativum (5% to 30% w/w), coconut oil, castor oil, olive oil, fragrance were prepared and evaluated for physicochemical parameters and the results showed the production of stable herbal shampoos. The pH (6.22 ± 0.01 to 5.01± 0.02), percentage of solids (23.21± 0.02 to 25.41± 0.04), , dirt dispersion, surface tension (37.25 ± 0.45 to 39.87 ± 0.15), viscosity (6.5±0.2 to 5.4±0.2 ), skin irritation test ( no irritation) and visual stability .Formulations were clear, had good foam formation, foam quality and retention with proper rheological properties and skin compliances. The formulations with 10 % extract showed best results of evaluation parameters. The efficacy was in the range 10 % extract containing shampoo (F2) >5 % extract containing shampoo (F1) > 20 % extract containing shampoo (F3)> 30 % extract containing shampoo (F4).Keywords

A simple, precise and accurate spectrofluorometric method has been established for quantitative determination of quinine. Conditions were also optimized for best possible extraction of quinine via varying concentrations of different solvents for maximum recovery of quinine at excitation wavelength 372 nm and emission wavelength 456 nm. Methanol found to be best for highest possible recovery of target analyte quinine. The linear range of 1.0- 7.0 μg/mL was obtained for quinine. The detection limit was 0.1768 and quantitation limit was found to be 0.5411for quinine. The recovery of the quinine was found to be 97.35-99.85 %. The proposed method was used for the determination of quinine alkaloids in pharmaceuticals and herbal formulations with satisfactory result.
