Ocimum Sanctum (Tulsi) Herbal Extraction Plant
- Raw Material Selection: High-grade Ocimum Sanctum leaves (commonly known as Tulsi or Holy Basil) are sourced from certified organic farms. The quality of tulsi leaves is crucial, as it directly impacts the concentration of active compounds such as eugenol, ursolic acid, and rosmarinic acid.
- Cleaning and Preparation: The fresh leaves are cleaned thoroughly with water to eliminate dust, soil, and any microbial contaminants. After cleaning, they are sorted to remove any damaged or discolored leaves.
- Extraction Process: The powdered tulsi leaves undergo solvent extraction using hydro-alcoholic or ethanol as the solvent in an extractor. This process extracts key phytochemicals like eugenol, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds.
- Filtration and Concentration: The extract is filtered to remove plant residue, and the filtrate is then concentrated under vacuum using rotary evaporators or falling film evaporators to achieve a desired consistency.
- Standardization: The final extract is standardized to contain active markers like Eugenol (0.5% to 2%) or other polyphenolic compounds based on application. This ensures uniform potency and therapeutic effect.
- Packaging and Storage: The finished product is packed in airtight, food-grade containers and stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to maintain its stability and shelf life.
