Natural resources such as plants, animals and minerals have always been used by mankind to develop drugs and marine world is no exception. Marine by-products like conches, pearls, mother of pearl shells, corals and so forth have been used by traditional Ayurvedic practitioners for centuries. The unique methods of these preparations are scientifically designed to eliminate unwanted impurities and convert them into bioavailable form. In this study, Conch (Xanchus pyrum) was used as a marine resource of calcium carbonate and was converted pharmaceutically from its aragonite form to calcite. All the steps of preparations and changes in the properties therein were documented and validated. Further, traditional as well as modern analytical tools were used to study its physical and chemical characters to develop a monograph. The physical characterization included particle size, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR). Metal composition and heavy metal limits were determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICPOES). This study revealed the rearrangement of aragonite crystals into calcite form by grinding, trituration with aloe vera juice and incineration under controlled conditions. Moreover, the finished product was found to be devoid of organic matrix that is nacre. This study creates a foundation for the development of a master formula for commonly used Shankha Bhasma in Ayurvedic medicines.

Characters of many types of transformer oils were researched in this paper. Vegetable oil made from bean was considered suitable transformer oil by comparing their physical and chemical characters, which are include fire safety, insulation, parameter related thermal activity, stability, and other issues such as environment-friendly character, etc. It can point out that the vegetable oil with appropriate addition agent will be a kind of popular transformer oil in the future.

Spaghetti developed by substituting semolina with 5, 10, 15, and 20% (w/w) banana starch were evaluated by specific physical and chemical parameters such as chemical composition, resistant starch (RS) content, diameter, bulk density, color, cooked weight, cooking loss, and firmness. They were also evaluated by their sensory attributes. In general, the addition of banana starch promoted a dilution effect on protein, lipid, and ash content, while moisture content was not affected. On the other hand, the content of RS significantly increased ( p50.05) with an increase of banana starch in the spaghetti. Spaghetti containing 5 and 10% of banana starch had similar diameter than the control spaghetti, but the diameter of spaghetti with 15 and 20% banana starch were significantly lower ( p50.05). The bulk density values of spaghetti with banana starch were all similar and not different from the control spaghetti. The values of ΔL* indicated that the color of spaghetti containing banana starch was darker than the control at all levels of substitution, while the values of ΔC* indicated that only spaghetti containing banana starch in the range of 10—20% was less saturated than the control. The evaluation of cooking quality demonstrated that the cooked weight of spaghetti containing banana starch was similar to the control, but their cooking loss was significantly higher and their firmness significantly lower ( p50.05) than the control. However, the values of cooking loss and firmness were in the acceptable range for good quality pasta. Sensory evaluation of the product showed that the addition of banana starch improved the acceptability of the spaghetti. The overall result of this study shows that spaghetti with up to 15% of banana starch addition could have great potential for commercial acceptability as a functional food with high levels of healthy RS.

SummaryThe mineral woodruffite, which has so far been reported from only one locality, Sterling Hill, New Jersey, has been found to occur in the Sandur area. Its physical and chemical characters are given. Indexing of the X-ray powder photograph shows that the mineral is most probably tetragonal with a 8·42, c 9·28 Å.

On December 7, 1872, H.M.S. Challenger left Sheemess, England, on one of the great adventures of scientific exploration, a voyage of four years which was to circumnavigate the globe and to visit all the major oceans of the world. The stated purpose and objectives of the expedition are given in a letter from the Royal Society of London to the Secretary of the British Admiralty. These goals were to study: (1) ‘the physical conditions of the deep sea throughout all the great ocean-basins’, (2) ‘the chemical constitution of the water at various depths from the surface to the bottom’, (3) ‘the physical and chemical characters of the deposits’, and finally (4) ‘the distribution of organic life throughout the area explored’ (Challenger Rep., 1 (1), iii). This was an extraordinarily comprehensive plan! To get some notion of the enthusiasm this expedition engendered and to recapture some of its excitement, one needs only to read the narrative of this historic cruise written and extracted from the logs and personal journals of members from the scientific party.
