    Abstract-
    Microcapsule is a tiny sphere including core material/internal phase or fill, coated with/surrounded by wall know as shell, coating or membrane. The usual size range of the microcapsule lies between 1 to 1000 μm. The technique is usually applied for targeted drug delivery, protection of the molecule and stability if the core material. Microencapsulation system offers potential advantages over conventional drug delivery systems and also established as unique carrier systems for many pharmaceuticals. This article contains the traditional and the recent techniques, including their patents, for the preparation of microcapsules. Solvent exchange method, coacervation, polymerization, hot melts etc are several recent techniques are used for the preparation of the microcapsules. The microencapsulation technique, as Novel drug Delivery System (NDDS), is widely applied for delivery of probiotics, drugs, pesticide, food etc. Although significant advances have been made in the field of microencapsulation, still many challenges need to be rectified during the appropriate selection of core materials, coating materials and process techniques.

    Abstract
    Based on the figures from the World Health Organization, more than 20 lakhs women die worldwide because of cervical cancer per year. Cervical cancer, a potentially preventable disease, found as the second most common malignancy in women worldwide. In India, the disease accounts for a probable 24 percent of  India’s cancer cases among women and in addition to that 74,000 Indian women die annually from the disease, which results from the unusual growth of cells in the cervix. Cervical cancer is the most frequent disorder among women age near about 50 that increased the death rate  in  Indian rural women as compared urban due to lack awareness and don’t gain proper education. Cancer causing growth in the cervix is not a solitary type. It is not usually linked with hereditary genetic factor but a number of variable factors (Chemical, environmental and biological) indirectly enhance the risk of cervical cancer by increasing the possibility that a woman can contact an HPV infection. National Cancer Control Program emphasizes the significance of early detection and treatment. But our country has no well thought-out screening program and many women in India lack information regarding the disease and way to prevention and treatment facilities. Therefore, it is most of important to treat properly cervical cancer and make awareness in Indian women regarding its treatment and proper management.

    ABSTRACT
    Single cell protein typically refers to source of mixed protein extracted from pure or mixed culture of algae, yeast, fungi or bacteria. The microbes which are used for single cell protein production must be non-pathogenic to plants, animals and man. Good nutritional value, easily and cheaply produced on scale, toxin free, fast growing, easily to separate from the medium and to dry. They have many silent feature. Biomass production is ordinarily carried out in continuous mode to maximize yields and economic scale. The raw material of this process is very cheap because we used molasses, whey, gas, oil etc. For a substrate. So SCP is waste to best. The molasses and various salts including ammonium and phosphate salt contain of the baker’s yeast. The yeast are used for the production of SCP. The baker’s yeast is useful to as and they create disadvantages also the SCP and baker’s yeast very useful for organism.

    ABSTRACT:
    The Government of India through the Drug and Cosmetic act 1940 and rules 1945 has made stringent provisions regarding import, Manufacturing, Sale and Distribution of Cosmetics. These provisions mainly cover the licensing for the import, manufacturing of cosmetics and also the GMPs for the manufacturing of cosmetics. Also these guidelines have covered certain categories of cosmetics whose import and sale is prohibited by the Law. These guidelines have also listed the 28 cosmetics whose import is allowed only on to the conformance to the Indian standards. These guidelines have also covered the offences and penalties in case of contravention of the provisions of the Drug and Cosmetic Act 1940.

    INTRODUCTION:
    A few decades ago, it was realized that certain proteins could be used as pharmaceutical agents for the treatment of human diseases. e.g. insulin for diabetes mellitus, interferon for viral diseases. However the availability of such therapeutic/ pharmaceutical products was limited due to costly and cumbersome procedures involved in their isolation. Further, their use in humans was associated with several complications. For instance, administration of pig insulin to diabetic patients results in the development of antibodies.

    The advent of recombinant DNA technology heralded a new chapter for the production of a wide range of therapeutic agents in sufficient quantities for human use. The commercial exploitation of recombinant DNA  (rDNA) technology began in late 1970s by biotechnological companies to produce proteins.There are around 400 different proteins being produced  by rDNAtechnologyand as of now around 30 have been approved for human use.
