The microbiological limits are considered to be one of the quality criteria that affect pharmaceutical. Herbal drug medicine is of some specialty since their raw material contains a high bioburden. According to pharmacopoeia, Herbal drugs are mainly whole, fragmented or cut, plants, parts of plants, algae, fungi, lichen in an unprocessed state, usually in dried form but sometimes fresh.

The red meat is one of the main group of food due to their high content of protein , mineral salts , vitamins . But the high content of humidity and its pH value that is suitable to growth of most microorganisms make it subject to spoilage . In t his study different samples of commercial meat which were taken from market in Homs , were valuated by microbial analysis and that were done for fresh samples , and after one month of frozen storage in home . The study indicated that the most of commercial red meat , were unacceptable to human consumer because the total number of Aerobic Bacteria , Listereia, Staphylococcus Aureus , Salmonella , E. coli , were unacceptable to Syrian Arab Organization for Standardization that may be due to disases of animale or the contamination that was happened during dealing from farm to consumer .
The aim of this study was to control the content of some commercial products containing amino acid (Arginine) available in the local market in addition to other products containing creatine and protein. Three methods were used for quantitative determ ination of amino acids Kjeldahl method depending on the total content of nitrogen, assay by the visible radiation using Spectrophotometer after ninhydrin derivatization and high performance liquid chromatography with pre-column O-phtadelaldehyde derivatization using fluorescence detector. There were no significant differences in the results obtained by the three used methods. The results revealed that dietary supplements containing creatine and protein were conform to the European pharmacopoeia specifications, regarding products containing arginine used as medication and locally manufactured, they were conform to pharmacopoeia specifications while the illegal dietary supplement containing arginine were not conform.
The history of medicine using medicinal plants goes back thousands of years, and according to the reports of the World Health Organization, many of the world's people mainly use the plant to treat many diseases, and one of the plants that is famous for its widespread use is the leaves of Ginkgo biloba.
Benzoic acid is extensively used in the preservation of food products for maintaining quality and extending shelf life by inhibiting mould and bacteria growth. Some previous studies have demonstrated that consumption of excessive amounts of benzoi c acid could be a health hazard. The aim of this study was to detect the presence of benzoic acid and its salts in some commercial children food like potatochips that labeled "Free of Preservatives" . Twenty seven samples of potatochips purchased from three different local products were analyzed for the presence of benzoic acid. The results revealed the presence of benzoic acid in nine samples and its concentration was between 100.34-188.65mg/kg. We have concluded also that TLC is a very convenient method for the detection of benzoic acid in food products .
Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the effect of the aqueou extract of the vegetative parts of the Euphorbia paralias at different concentrations (2%,4%,8%) in seed germination and seeding growth of the Lepidium sativum, Lactuca sativa and Portulaca oleracea. The results indicated increase in germination ratio of Portulaca oleracea. up to 7%. while the effect of the extract was not evident in the germination of the seeds of Lepidium sativum, and decreased the germination ratio of Lactuca sativa seeds by 35.9% at the concentration of 8%.In contrast, the extracts stimulated the length of the stalks of Portulaca oleracea , Lepidium sativum and Lactuca sativa plants at all used concentrations used. The highest rate of stimulated stalks legnth of Lepidium sativum at 2% was 58.2%. inhibitory effect of water extract observed for root length of Portulaca oleracea and Lactuca sativa plants at 2% , and stimulation effect pour Lepidium sativum, The effect became evident at the concentrations of 4% and 8% for the three plants. The most sensitive and affected plants was Portulaca oleracea, where the length of the root decreased by 53.38% at the concentration of 4% and by 72% at the concentration of 8% ,while the length of the root Lepidium sativum and Lactuca sativa decreased by 25.82% and 34.95% was decreased for 4% and 8%respectively. The results suggested that this weed may affect seedling growth, due to inhibitory or stimulatory effect of Allelochemicals , which present in water extract of this weed . and may used as potential Bioherbicide after further experiments.
