CISF ASI PHARMACIST EXAM 2026 / CISF ASI PHARMACIST EXAM PREPARATION / CISF PHARMACIST EXAM PAPER

[00:00:00]Hello everyone, this is Manish and you are watching my channel Pharma Bullet. So today we are going to look at questions from Pharmaceutics.

[00:00:06]All your upcoming examinations are going to have most of the questions from this point of view.

[00:00:10]And our mock test courses and PDF books have been updated once again.

[00:00:15]What updates have been made, all these demo videos are given in the description of this video. So, whoever purchased these courses, they have to go to their app and check. Course details are mentioned in Course Features and Course Description and App link is given in the description. The app is directly available on Play Store.

[00:00:34]I have also given the link in the description for iOS and laptop users.

[00:00:36]Ok? So let's start the questions. Which of the defects in an emulsion makes it most unstable? Creaming, flocculation, cracking, sedimentation.

[00:00:48]Defects in an emulsion make it most unstable. Which of the following defects of emulsion makes it most unstable? So cracking makes emulsion most unstable.

[00:00:58]Option C will be your correct answer.

[00:01:01]Cracking makes the emulsion most unstable. What is cracking? So this cracking is an irreversible separation of dispersed fuzz from the continuous fuzz.

[00:01:11]This involves separation of dispersed fuzz from continuous fuzz. In this there is formation of two distinct layers. Ok? And who is responsible for cracking? What are the causes of cracking? So changes in solvents, then changes in temperature. Changes in emulsifying agents, microbial contamination, creaming, and improper storage are causes of cracking. Ok? What is this creaming? So less dense oil droplets rise to the top. Ok? These low density oil droplets come to the top and form a layer during creaming.

[00:01:51]Then a question is asked about the creaming.

[00:01:53]The creaming of the emulsion is directly proportional to the. This is a question asked in the previous year.

[00:01:59]So this is directly proportional to specific gravity. Ok? This is a previous year question.

[00:02:05]The creaming of the emulsion is directly proportional to the specific gravity. And creaming of emulsion is indirectly proportional to this is also a question asked.

[00:02:14]So it is indirectly proportional to the viscosity of the medium and directly proportional to the specific gravity. Ok?

[00:02:24]We had seen Stokes' law, right?

[00:02:26]What is Stokes' Law? So the creaming of an emulsion is indirectly proportional to the viscosity of the medium. Then what is fluctuation? So the droplets in this are less closer together.

[00:02:36]Droplets cause clump formation in flocculation. Sedimentation. So the denser droplets in it are settled at the bottom of the emulsion. Ok?

[00:02:49]Sedimentation is the opposite of creaming. All these terms are important from your examination point of view.

[00:02:53]Questions have been asked on all of them so far.

[00:02:56]Then one more question was asked on sedimentation. The rate of sedimentation is indirectly proportional to the viscosity of continuous fluid. The rate of sedimentation is indirectly proportional to the viscosity of continuous fluid. Ok?

[00:03:12]What other questions have been asked so far on emulsions? So look, here these PYQs are given in the form of one liners. What is creaming? So creaming occurs when less dense oil droplets rise to the top and form a layer. We just saw that these low density oil droplets form a layer of cream on top.

[00:03:32]What is then cracking? So coalescence of disperse globules and separation of the dispersions as a separate layer in an emulsion is called cracking. In this, coalescence of dispersed globules takes place and two distinct layers are formed.

[00:03:47]We observed an irreversible separation of the dispersed fuzz from the continuous fuzz. This is called cracking. Then upward creaming is observed in which type of emulsions. So, this is what happens in oil in water emulsions. And downward creaming occurs in water in oil emulsions. Both of these are questions asked many times in exams.

[00:04:06]Upward creaming, oil in water, downward water in oil. Then the creaming of the emulsion is directly proportional to the specific gravity. We discussed above that creaming is directly proportional to specific gravity. And it is indirectly proportional to the viscosity of the medium. Look, here it is given according to Stokes' law. The creaming of an emulsion is indirectly proportional to the viscosity of the medium.

[00:04:31]Then flocculation emulsion droplets clump together. What is Sedimentation? So when the denser droplets settle at the bottom of the emulsion, it is called sedimentation. And the rate of sedimentation is indirectly proportional to the viscosity of the continuous fluid. We discussed this above too, right? The rate of sedimentation is indirectly proportional to the viscosity of the continuous fluid. Ok? These are all the questions asked so far.

[00:04:57]Move ahead. Next question. In paste the concentration of insoluble powder substances is how much concentration of insoluble powder substances is there in paste, it is 20 to 50%.

[00:05:11]Option B What are pastes, they are semi solid dosage forms with high percentage of insoluble solid medicaments, hence these pastes are less greasy than ointments, hence these pastes are water based and ointments are oil based, hence paste does not spread more easily. Ointment spreads more easily on skin. These differences between pastes and ointments have also been repeated many times in the exam.

[00:05:37]You have to remember all this also.

[00:05:39]Ok? Move ahead. Next question.

[00:05:43]Liquid membrane systems are also called as multiple emulsions, aquasomes, virosomes, nano capsules. This is also the most frequently asked question. Liquid membrane systems are also called as What do you call liquid membrane systems?

[00:05:59]So there are multiple emulsions, this is option A.

[00:06:01]And what do you call multiple emulsions?

[00:06:04]So emulsions containing more than two phases are called as multiple emulsions. This is also a question asked in the previous year. Emulsions containing more than two phases are called as multiple emulsions. Then another question is asked on emulsion. What is particle size of fine emulsion? What is the particle size of fine emulsion? So this is 25 to 25 micro meters. Then the ideal fuzz volume ratio is asked for a stable emulsion. Ideal fuzz volume ratio of what? So how much does a stable emulsion have? So it is 75:25.

[00:06:43]This is also a question asked in the last year exam. The ideal phase volume ratio for a stable emulsion is 75:25.

[00:06:51]What else will be asked on this? So cobalt chloride cobalt chloride and filter paper test is associated with so this also happens to be emulsions. Cobalt chloride and fluid paper test is associated with emulsions. Ok? Let's move on to the next question.

[00:07:09]Look, previous year questions are given here.

[00:07:11]Definition of emulsions is given. A liquid preparation containing two immiscible liquids. Then emulsions containing more than two phases are called multiple emulsions as seen above. Then identification test is asked. Dilution test, dye test, cobalt chloride test, conductivity test. This is the identification test of emulsions. Then which emulsions are thermodynamically stable?

[00:07:47]What is the particle size in the nano suspension? The particle size of nano suspension is 10 nanometers.

[00:07:54]Then stability of emulsion is depends upon viscosity, density, particle size. Then upward creaming is observed in oil in water emulsions and downward creaming in water in oil emulsions, then these ratios are also most important. From your examination point of view, the ratio of oil water gum is asked, how much is it in fixed oils, how much is it in mineral oils, how much is it in volatile oils and how much is it in olivine, this is also a question asked many times in the exam.

[00:08:22]You will be given the name of the oil and the ratio of oil water gum is asked, then how much is it for fixed oils, so 4:2: 1 is for mineral oil, 3:21 is for volatile oil, 2:2:1 is for oleoresin, 1:21 is it okay? You should buy this chart by heart.

[00:08:42]Questions are asked on this in every exam.

[00:08:44]And in this you should also know which oils come under fixed oils.

[00:08:49]Because sometimes you are given the name of the oil. So you should know which one comes in fixed oil and which one comes in mineral oil. So what will you get in fixed oils? So, your cod liver oil comes in this, then castor oil comes, almond oil comes. These are fixed oils, almond oil, castor oil, cod liver oil. One of these names will be given to you in the question. And the ratio of oil water gum will be asked. What comes in Then Mineral Oils? So this includes your paraffin oil. Paraffin oil comes under mineral oils. Then it comes in petrolatum.
