For BIS Use Only Doc: PCD/19/10319 May 2016 BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS Proposed Draft Indian Standard MEHENDI (HENNA) PASTE IN SHAPE OF CONE AND OTHER ALLIED PACKAGING - SPECIFICATION Last date for receipt of comment is: 19/06/2016 ICS 71.100.70 Working Draft prepared by Panel under Convenership of Shri M. B. Desai, Hygienic Research Institute Pvt. Ltd. FOREWORD (Formal clauses will be added later) Henna (Mehendi), Lawsonia Inermis Linn has been known as natural source of dye having medicinal properties. After dilution with water, Henna powder is used as paste for skin decorations, tattooing and hair dying. Upon drying, the paste imparts orange, dark Brown/ black coloration to skin. In order to help the users, henna paste is supplied in the conical packing to facilitate several types of designs on the hands & other parts of body as it has better design maneuverability. Many commercial products available in the market lose its staining power on storage especially ones packed in cones. Destabilized paste of henna cones when used does not give any coloration. To increase the staining power and market value, some products are sold with chemicals like dyes & pigments which are allergic e.g. para phenylenediamine etc. The henna paste in the form of cones are manufactured as micro business activity in small households, by road side vendors and small shops, which make paste in small lots & immediately fill in plastic or metalized film and sell on the spot. These cones do not have a shelf life of more than one week. Here ph and water quality used to manufacture henna paste play an important role in stability and color impartation.

B-1 OUTLINE OF THE METHOD DETERMINATION OF LOSS ON DRYING This method determines loss on drying which is the loss in weight in % w/w resulting from water and volatile matter of any kind that can be driven off under specified conditions. The test vg carried out on a well mixed sample of the substance B-2 Apparatus Drying oven. B-3 Procedure B-3.1 Weigh a glass stoppered, shallow weighing bottle that has been previously dried under the same condition to be employed in the determination & cooled in desiccators. Note down the weight W1. B-3.2 Transfer 1g of sample to the bottle or the quantity of the sample specified in the individual monograph, cover it & accurately weigh the bottle and the contents. Note down the weight as W2. Distribute the sample as evenly as practicable by gentle sidewise shaking to a depth not exceeding 10 mm. B-3.3 Place the loaded bottle in the drying chamber (oven or desiccators) as directed in the monograph, remove the stopper and leave it also in the chamber. B-3.4 Dry the sample to constant weight means that the drying process should be continued until the results of two consecutive weighings do not differ by more than 0.5 mg, second weighing being made after an additional hour of drying under the prescribed conditions or for the specified time and at the temperature as specified in the monograph. B-3.5 After drying is completed, open the drying chamber, close the bottle promptly and allow it to cool to room temperature (where applicable) in a desiccators before weighing.

Pipette 0 ml (Blank), 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml, 4 ml and 5 ml of standard 0.1 % stock solution in 100 ml volumetric flasks and dilute with sodium bicarbonate solution 5 %, (m/v) up to the mark, Measure the optical density of these solutions having varying concentration from 0.0, 10, 20 to 50 ppm of 2-hydroxy, 1-4-napthoquinone, at 490 nm with a spectrophotometer and construct a calibration curve. The stock solution should not be stored for more than one month. C-4.2 Weigh 2.0 g of the prepared sample. Transfer it to a 100 ml volumetric flask. Add sodium bicarbonate solution, 5 % (m/v) and make up the volume to mark. Shake the contents of the flask every half an hour or so for about 8 h. Allow to settle overnight. Thereafter filer the solution through a filter paper and reject the first few milliliters. Take 10 ml of the filtrate in a 25 ml volumetric flask and dilute with 5 % sodium bicarbonate solution up to the mark. Measure the optical density of this solution with a spectrophotometer at 490 nm.

E-5.3 Remove the TLC plate when the mobile phase reaches 0.5 cm away from the end of the TLC plate. E-5.4 Allow the plate to dry completely and develop the spots in an Iodine chamber. E-5.5 Observe and compare the Rf values, colour, shape and size of the sample spots versus the standard spots to identify and determine the absence of chemical/synthetic dye ingredients/pigments in sample. F-1 OUTLINE OF THE METHOD ANNEX F [Table 1, Item (v)] TEST FOR LEAD The color produced with hydrogen Sulphide solution is matched against that obtained with standard lead solution. F-2 APPARATUS F-2.1 Nessler Cylinders 50 ml capacity.
