Maca (Lepidium meyenii) Herbal Extraction Plant – D-Glycyrrhizic Acid
- Raw Material Selection: Mature, high-altitude Maca roots are carefully sourced for optimal alkaloid content. These roots are known for their adaptogenic and nutritional properties.
- Cleaning and Preparation: The roots are thoroughly washed using water spray systems to remove dust, mud, and unwanted particles. Manual inspection ensures only clean, healthy roots are used.
- Extraction Process: The powdered root undergoes hydroalcoholic extraction, using a mixture of ethanol and water. The process is carried out in extraction tanks with controlled heating (40°C–60°C) and continuous stirring to extract the full alkaloid spectrum.
- Filtration and Concentration: Post extraction, the mixture is filtered using mesh filters and centrifuge separators to remove the solid plant residues.
- Standardization: The final extract is standardized to a specific alkaloid concentration using HPLC or UV methods, ensuring consistency across batches.
- Packaging and Storage: The standardized extract is packed in air-tight, moisture-free containers, with proper labeling and stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
