Manjistha Herbal Extraction Plant – Rich in Anthraquinones & Glycosides
- Raw Material Selection: Manjistha roots (Rubia cordifolia) are sourced from naturally grown plants, ensuring high medicinal value. Roots are selected based on maturity, color, and absence of molds or decay.
- Cleaning and Preparation: Collected roots are washed thoroughly with clean water using a pressure washer system to remove soil, dust, and contaminants. Manual sorting follows to eliminate underdeveloped or damaged pieces.
- Extraction Process: A hydroalcoholic solvent system (typically ethanol + water) is used in stainless steel extraction vessels. The extraction is done at moderate temperature (~60°C) under reflux conditions for several hours to extract anthraquinones, glycosides, and tannins.
- Filtration and Concentration: The extract is passed through multi-stage filtration units to remove plant fiber and yield a clear phytochemical-rich liquid extract.
- Standardization: The powdered extract is standardized to known levels of anthraquinones (e.g., alizarin and purpurin) using HPLC or UV methods for batch consistency and therapeutic efficacy.
- Packaging and Storage: The final product is packed in airtight, food-grade HDPE drums or aluminum foil-lined bags, sealed to avoid moisture and stored in cool, dark environments.
