DIELECTRIC PARAMETERS OF AYURVEDIC MEDICINES - BIOLOGICAL APPROACH

Uddhav Ram Lahane, Prashant Uddhav Lahane

Abstract: The study of dielectric properties of biological materials is of great assistance in exploring the molecular structure and dynamics of condensed matter. Time domain reflectometry in reflection mode has been used as a technique. A nonlinear least squares fit method have been used to obtain dielectric parameters viz., static dielectric constant (?0 ) and dielectric relaxation time (t) at temperatures 100C, 200C, 300C and 400C of Ayurvedic Medicines.

Keywords: Medicinal plants, Asava, Ethanol,Time domain reflectometry, Fourier transformation, Dielectric constant, Relaxation time.
