Q

white ointment preparation

A

1- mechanical incorporation / levigation
- reducing to impalpable powder to reduce grittiness and to form a very smooth nucleus

2- fusion
- heat first the substance with high melting point like wax and spermaceti using water bath before adding soft, oleaginous material

percolation

A

permits the purified water to pass slowly through a bed of crystalline sucrose to dissolve it

55
Q

Simple syrup

A

a good syrup has specific gravity of not less than 1.33 and the concentration should be 85% w/v or 65% w/w
