Abstract

             Preparation of Salol and Menthol Mixture, which has been official in Pharmacopeia of Ministry of Health 2519 BE, in low amount or in laboratory scale such as 50 milliliters can be performed by 2 methods, namely hot method and cold method. In the original hot method, mortars and pestles were warmed by burning with flame, resulting in problems about safety and temperature control. Therefore, researchers had an idea to warm mortars and pestles using a hot air oven.

             Results indicated that preparation of this formulation via hot method by burning mortars and pestles with flame and via hot method by warming mortars and pestles in a hot air oven provided identical ease of blending. Both methods were slightly easier than cold method. Products obtained from all methods were not different in physical characteristics and stability. Moreover, the developed technique provided convenience for the scientific technicians to prepare equipments for students in laboratory classes and decrease risk of fire accidents.
