XII. QUESTIONS:

1. Give the botanical origin of cinnamon ?


- Cinnamomum Zeylanicum
- Cinnamomum loureii
- Cinnamomum cassia

2. Why is there a difficulty in producing clear of aromatic water?

- The difficulty encountered in the compounding of prescriptions containing aromatic


waters is due to a “salting out” action of certain ingredients, such as very soluble salts
in the volatile principle of the aromatic water.

3. Why light resistant container are used for packaging aromatic waters?

- Aromatic waters should be made in small quantities and protected from intense light and
excessive heat as they deteriorate with time. Deterioration may be caused by volatilization,
decomposition or mold growth resulting to solution that are cloudy and have lost all traces of
their agreeable odor.
