@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1474, title = {Preparation and Characterization of M. × Piperita L. Oil Based Gel Formulation}, author = {Peeyush Kumar and Sapna Mishra and Anushree Malik and Santosh Satya}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The essential oil of M. × piperita L. was formulated into a topical gel. The prepared gel was characterized for its pH, viscosity, spreadiblity, consistency and extrudiblity, while its stability was evaluated under different temperature conditions. The prepared M. × piperita oil gel was clear and transparent. The pH value of developed gel was 6.6, while its viscosity was 1200 cP. Spreadability and consistency of the M. × piperita oil gel was 10.7 g.cm/sec and 7 mm, respectively. The prepared gel showed good extrudiblity. During the stability studies, no significant change in pH and viscosity as a function of time for gel was observed, indicating stability of prepared formulation. The gel developed in this study is expected to forward the usage of M. × piperita essential towards commercial application.}, journal = {International Journal of Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences}, volume = {7}, number = {1}, year = {2013}, pages = {17 - 19}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1474}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/73}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 73, 2013}, }
