We are very pleased to put forth the first edition of 'Laboratory Manual of Industrial Pharmacy I'. We believe that the manual will fulfill the aspirations of Industrial Pharmacy teachers and students too. This manual is prepared as per PCI Education Regulations, 2014 for Degree Course in Pharmacy. Each experiment is arranged sequentially such as aim, practical significance, practical outcomes, theory, requirements, procedure, observations, calculations, results, conclusions and synopsis questions. Each experiment offers an opportunity to perform practical work, allowing students to acquire proficiency in effectively managing equipment, handling glassware, chemicals and writing conclusion. In addition, questions are provided at the end of the experiments to enhance student’s knowledge, which will be beneficial for them as they pursue higher studies. During the laboratory period you will have to multitask, while you are doing experiment. It is essential to document properly what you do and what you observe while doing the practical. Always plan your work ahead and think about what you are doing, why you are doing it, what is happening and what you can conclude from your experiment. This manual is a sincere effort to improve the practical skills of the students so that every student will understand the objective of each experiment and perform their practical’s smoothly. Theory of each experiment is given in all sixteen experiments making the manual more informative and interesting. We acknowledge the help and co-operation extended by various people in bringing out this manual. We are highly indebted to the authors of various books and articles mentioned in bibliography which became a major source of information for writing this manual. We also thank the publishers, designers and printers who graciously worked hard to publish this manual in time. We hope that this manual will assist students in understanding concepts, principles, and performing procedures. We wish you all the best!"

This book is conceived to reflect the practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy. The contents of this book are an integral part of the syllabi prescribed by Pharmacy Council of India and Indian universities. This practical book covers whole of the experimental component specified in the syllabus. Authors have made special attempts to cover all aspects ranging from preformulation studies, dosage form design, product manufacturing process and evaluation. This book only discusses relevant information and has been written in simple, straightforward language. The main motivation behind this book was to cover all the important practical aspects of Industrial Pharmacy I under one umbrella at an affordable price to encourage students to read and learn.

Pharmaceutics is a broad field which is connected to and focused on discovering, formulating, optimizing, and manufacturing various dosage forms, along with their standardization. One of the most important distinctions between Industrial Pharmacy and other branches of Pharmaceutics is the strict requirements of pharmaceutical industry for good manufacturing practice (GMP). To excel as a pharmaceutical formulator, you must be able to handle the increasingly complex risk-based GMP demands from early conceptual design, qualification and validation to practical developmental implementation and execution of a pharmaceutical quality system. Keeping the requirements of B. Pharm 1st semester pharmacy students in view, an effort has been taken to present 32 experiments in this book as per the requirement mentioned by PCI syllabus. All the experiments are presented with theory, principle, procedure, use and storage along with tabulations. I hope the students will like to utilize this book while performing the experiments for Industrial Pharmacy and will definitely get acquainted with the concepts with greater precision. The concerned faculties will definitely appreciate this book as a handbook to train their students. For the improvement of the quality of the Pharmaceutics I Laboratory Manual suggestions and criticisms from all corners of profession are greatly welcome. I would be grateful to the readers if they draw my attention to the deficiencies and errors that might have remained.

We are very pleased to put forth the 'Herbal Drug Technology'. This manual is prepared as per PCI B. Pharm course regulations 2014 and is divided into six sections i. e. Preliminary phytochemical screening, Determination of alcohol contents in Ayurvedic formulations, Evaluation of natural origin excipients, Preparation and evaluation of herbal formulations, Monograph analysis of herbal drugs from recent Pharmacopoeias and Determination of chemical constituent contents. The various techniques are used for phytochemical screening of aqueous extract of crude drugs and determination of chemical constituents contents in crude drugs. The manual includes experiments through which students learn to prepare and evaluate various herbal formulations and analyze the individual monographs from recent pharmacopoeias. This manual is designed for 'outcome-based education' and each experiment is arranged in a uniform way such as practical significance, practical outcomes (PrOs) and its mapping with course outcomes, theory, resources used, procedure, precautions, observations, result, conclusion, references, and synopsis questions. Each experiment offers an opportunity to perform practical work, allowing students to gain proficiency in effectively managing equipment, handling glassware, chemicals and staining agents/ reagents, and writing conclusion. In addition, questions are provided at the end of the experiments to enhance students' knowledge, which will be beneficial for them as they pursue higher studies. During the laboratory period you will have to multitask, while you are doing experiment. It is essential to document properly what you do and what you observe while doing the practical. Always plan your work ahead and think about what you are doing, why you are doing it, what is happening and what you can conclude from your experiment.
