Picrorhiza Kurroa Root Herbal Extraction Plant
- Raw Material Selection: Picrorhiza kurroa, commonly known as Kutki, is a well-known Ayurvedic herb prized for its hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The dried rhizomes (roots) are the primary source for extraction and are carefully sourced from high-altitude Himalayan regions.
- Cleaning and Preparation: The harvested rhizomes are thoroughly cleaned to remove soil and impurities. They are then shade dried or tray dried at low temperatures to preserve their sensitive bioactive compounds like kutkin (picroside I and II).
- Extraction Process: The powdered rhizome is transferred into SS extraction tanks and extracted using a hydroalcoholic solvent system (typically ethanol:water). The process is carried out under controlled conditions, using heat and stirring for a specific time to extract key compounds like picrosides, apocynin, and kutkoside.
- Filtration and Concentration: Post-extraction, the mixture is filtered through multi-layer filtration systems to remove plant debris and obtain a clear extract.
- Standardization: The final extract is standardized to contain defined percentages of picroside I and II, ensuring consistency and potency in therapeutic applications.
- Packaging and Storage: The standardized extract is packed in air-tight, light-resistant containers and stored in cool, dry storage conditions to maintain its shelf life and efficacy.
