Terpenoil Laboratories

Medicinal plants are the richest bio resource of drugs for traditional systems of medicine, modern medicines, nutraceuticals, food supplements, folk medicines, pharmaceutical intermediates and chemical entities for synthetic drugs. Aromatic plants are a source of fragrances, flavors, cosmeceuticals, health beverages and chemical terpenes. Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are traded as such in bulk from many developing countries for further value addition in developed countries. The first step in the value addition of MAP bio resources is the production of herbal drug preparations (i.e. extracts), using a variety of methods from simple traditional technologies to advanced extraction techniques. The purpose of standardized extraction procedures for crude drugs (medicinal plant parts) is to attain the therapeutically desired portions and to eliminate unwanted material by treatment with a selective solvent known as menstruum. The extract thus obtained, after standardization, may be used as medicinal agent as such in the form of tinctures or fluid extracts or further processed to be incorporated in any dosage form such as tablets and capsules. These products all contain complex mixture of many medicinal plant metabolites, such as alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, flavonoids and lignans. In order to be used as a modern drug, an extract may be further processed through various techniques of fractionation to isolate individual chemical entities. We Aim to Regulate the industry through quality and consistency of products by constantly improving processes. Our professional analytical team also conducts quality control tests for medicinal plants such as: Appearance Foreign Material Fineness Identification A: Microscopic Properties Identification B: TLC Microbiological Contamination Pesticides Heavy metals (Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel and Zinc) by ICP Loss on Drying Assay and related substances Fingerprinting
