Abstract

Borassus flabellifer Linn. (Areaceae) is a tall tree (palm) growing in sandy soil and attaining a height of 20-30 meters with straight trunk. The extraction was carried out around 300 gm of powder was subjected to successive hot continuous extraction (Soxhelt) with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, methanol, chloroform-water. The Phytochemical analysis carried out revealed the presence of Saponins, tannins, flavonoids, carbohydrates, amino acids and phenolic compounds in the extracts. For assessing in-vitro antioxidant activity total antioxidant capacity and determination of total phenolic content methods were used. In total antioxidant capacity aqueous extract was found a significant antioxidant activity. In determination of total phenolic content alcoholic extract shown highly significant result.

Abstract

Stain removal is the process of removing a mark or spot left by one substance on a specific surface like fabric. The objective of present investigation is to formulate herbal stain removal for removing the stain from the fabrics. A solvent or detergent is generally used to conduct stain removal & many of these are available over another. In the present study stain removal was formulated by using herbal ingredients like Eucalyptus oil, Tween 80, Poloxomer, Citric acid, Carboxy methyl cellulose, Rose oil, Neem oil. The three different formulae were formulated viz. formula F1, formula F2 and formula F3. The six different samples of stain were used for observation of stain removal like tea, ketchup, ink, iodine, mud, blood. The action of prepared formulation was seen on these stained fabrics. All the formulations shows positive results and formula F3 was shows the best results than other formulations.

Keywords

Stain Removal, Eucalyptus Oil, Tween 80, Poloxomer.
