Processing technology of <strong>medicinal</strong><br />

<strong>plants</strong> <strong>for</strong> obtaining concentrated<br />

extracts<br />

General technological flow phases <strong>for</strong> obtaining an extractive concentrated solution :<br />

– Reception plant material<br />

– Weighing<br />

– Shredding plant product<br />

– Homogenization<br />

– Extraction of bioactive compounds<br />

– Filtering the extractive solution<br />

– Purification <strong>and</strong> concentration of extractive solution<br />

a) Reception. The raw material is received by batch, depending on the origin <strong>and</strong> quality,<br />

based on analysis reports. Quality reception is done by checking the parameters:<br />

Authenticity of the plant, moisture, organic <strong>and</strong> mineral content, impurities content.<br />

b) Weighing product is made with the precision of an analytical balance capable of<br />

weighing 510-2000 g maximum or of semi-industrial level with maximum capacity of 6<br />

/ 12 kg. To prepare extractive solutions of well determined concentrations the stage of<br />

weighing is very important
