Shilajit (Mineral pitch or mineral wax) Occurence: Shilajit is found in the Tibet, Altai and Caucasus Mountains, as well as the Gilgit Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, but it is found most commonly in the Himalaya Mountains. Discovery of Gomutra Shilajit has been reported from South India (Hemadri, 1987). Mineral origin: Shilajit is obtained as exudate from rocks (Rajagopalan, 1984; Ghosal, 1992). The exudate contains 50 % pure Shilajit and rests are impurities. Some times Shilajit is obtained in pure form (Rajnath & Prasad, 1942). Shilajit has been described as bitumen varying greatly in consistency from a free flowing liquid to hard brittle solid; a mineral resin, a plant fossil exposed by the elevation of the Himalayas, a substance of mixed plant and animal origin and an inorganic material (Tewari, Tewari & Joshi, 1973). Vegetable sources of Shilajit Euphorbia royleana Boiss. (Euphorbiaceae): Shilajit has been regarded as the latex of a …show more content…
The constituents of shilajit are of two types: 1. Humic: They constitute 80-85% mass of shilajit. These are produced by interaction of shilajit with lower plants (algae, mosses, and liverworts), micro-organisms and even higher plants. 2. Non-humic: They constitute 8-10 % mass of shilajit. Non-humic substace s includes low molecular weight chemical compounds (acuparins), oxygenated dibenzo-α-pyrones and triterpene acids of the tirucullane type. Recently 4á, 5á,6á-trihydroxygeranyl acetat; 6-(9,9-dimethylbutyl) phenol; 1-cyclohexyl-3, 4-dihydroxybenzene; 2, 3, 12, 13-tetrahydroxy-10, 15[a, f] – phenyl xanth-17-one; 2, 3, 13, 14- tetrahydroxy-15, 16-[a, f] – phynyl-7H-anthracen-18-one and 3- hydroxynaphthalenyl-6, 7-ã-lactone have been isolated (Indu, Ali & Onkar, 2006). Mishra in his book on Rasa Shastra has given excellent comparison of chemical composition of impure and pure Shilajit. SNo: Contents Impure
Well, Shakeology contains Kamut Grass, Oat Grass, Barley Grass, and Wheat Grass. Don't these have gluten? These plants contain gluten only when mature. Beachbody uses the plants before they mature, before gluten forms. Mature means that the grain has developed. Shakeology is manufactured using the plant whose grain is yet to develop (just before you begin to think that Shakeology contains 'immature' and 'unhealthy' ingredients.)
Purpose: To identify the mystery powder based on its physical and chemical properties, comparing them to the five substances and which one matches. The chemical reactions with water, universal indicator, vinegar and Iodine solution are then analyzed and matched with each other to determine the mystery powder.
The technique used to narrow down the identity of unknown white compound were solubility test, pH test, flame test, and ion test. The first technique used to narrowed the properties of unknown white compound was using solubility test. To conduct solubility test, 0.25 gram of unknown white compound was dissolved in 100 mL of water. After carefully observing the change while string unknown white compound in water, the unknown white compound was soluble because it dissolved in water completely. Using bursen burner, matches and deionized water, flame test was conducted for unknown compound and it burned lilac color. Then compared the color of unknown white compound to other compound that were narrowed. The results of flame test for compounds that were narrowed down is shown in the following table. The pH test was conducted using litmus paper. 0.50 gram of unknown white compound was measured and dissolved in 10 mL of water in beaker. After dissolving, placed the litmus paper in solution and recorded the pH value of unknown compound which was neutral. Then compared the pH value of unknown white compound to compound that were narrow down. The pH result of the KCL, KNO3, NaCl, and K2SO4 is presented in the following table. The ion test was also conducted in order to make sure that the identity of unknown white compound was matched with the compound that were narrow down. After conducting the test, the result of unknown white compound which formed precipitate compared to KCl, KNO3,NaCl, and K2SO4. The results shown in the following
...res and water are available in lower part of soil which can provide enough water for “Misai Kucing” cultivation since it needs high volume of water.
The biomass was calculated by taking counting the number of nodules each plant produced and taking the shoot of each plant, letting in dry for 48h and then weighing it.
Monarda can be found in moist to slightly dry soils in North America between July and September of each year. They inhabit prairies, woodlands, pastures, and gardens. In the summer months, germinated seeds and rhizomes within the ground
2.On the Global Rank scale, I believe that the laurel sumac would be considered a G5. It is both common and widespread all throughout the state of California. It is mainly found along the coast of Southern California or throughout the Pacific Ocean Coasts.
The crude extract obtained by solvent extraction was subjected to various qualitative tests to detect the presence of common chemical constituents as:

Hydrometer test is needed as more than 10 % of soil sample passes the 63 µ m sieve (BS 1377-2:1990). It covers the quantitative determination of the particle size distribution in a soil from coarse sand size to clay size. Particles settle under gravity during testing (Head, 1984). The results of hydrometer analysis can be referred to Appendix C1. The calibrations which used in the hydrometer analysis and water viscosity are shown in Appendix C2 and Appendix C3.
