A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING LIVER TUNING BASED CHOLESTEROL REDUCING HERBAL AND PLANT EXTRACT MIX

Abstract

The subject invention is a system of manufacturing a dietary supplement composition from naturaly occurring herbs and plant substances namely Indian Gooseberry, Fenugreek, Turmeric and Cinnamon containing the ingredients in an optimal ratio in powdered form in capsules having properties of tuning the liver functions to produce and maintain normal cholesterol levels that is required for healthy body functions. The process consists of washing, drying, de-seeding, cleaning, powdering and mixing of the ingredients in the best embodiment composition and packing them into capsules of the requisite size and sealing them in a suitable container.

humans that can bring about a lasting regularization of cholesterol levels. The identified ingredients are 1. Indian Gooseberry ripe (fruits) 2. Fenugreek (seeds) 3. Turmeric (root) 4. Cinnamon (bark) Step 2: Selection of the form of input The ingredients can be combined into a mixture for administration either in a semi solid form (popularly known as Lehya) or in dry powder form. Considering the ease of consumption, the 'Dry Powder Form" has been chosen for the composition. Step 3: Preparing Powders of each of the four ingredients: This step is divided into four parallel steps A, B, C and D respectively for preparing the powders of Gooseberry, Fenugreek, Turmeric and Cinnamon. 3 A : Stream of Steps for Processing Indian Gooseberry: Step 3 A 1: Selection of Indian Gooseberry fruits. The stock of Indian Gooseberry fruits plucked from the trees in a ripe condition is segregated by visual inspection to pick fruits which are optimally ripe and are not infected or damaged. The right choice of fruits will have a green tinge without any black spots. Crushed fruits which have soft parts are also discarded. Experienced tasters test the input stocks by sample tasting to identify any sub optimal condition Of the fruits. The stocks retained for further processing therefore are visually and by taste free- from contamnation and considered having the therapeutic properties of typical Indian Gooseberry described earlier, Step 3 A 2: Cleaning of Selected Gooseberries The stock of gooseberries selected in the previous step is washed in clean water to remove surface dirt. Step 3 A 3: Drying of Gooseberry The stock of gooseberry selected from the previous step is cut info multiple pieces using sharp stainless steel blades. The stock of cut pietes of the Indian Gooseberry is dried in natural sun light for removing the moisture content.. Drying is achieved by spreading the pieces on a clean, dry, non metallic surface and exposing it to Sunlight. The spread is ideally done on a thin clean cloth piece so that the fruits are not burnt by being in contact with hot flooring surface. The drying process takes approximately 24 hours in bright sunshine at an average temperature of around 25 degree Celsius. The stocks are removed into covered areas during nights and cloudy conditions. The completion of the drying process is identified by visual inspection. Step 3 A 4: Deseeding of the Gooseberry The seeds are removed easily by hand from the cut and dried gooseberry. The de-seeded fruitt is taken up for further processing. Step 3 A 5: Powdering the Dried Fruit: The fully dried pieces of the Indian Gooseberry from the previous step is then ground into fine powder using a grinder with clean Steel blades or pounders and stored for further process in dry containers. 3 B:Stream of Processing of Fenugreek Seeds: Step 3 Bl: Cleaning of Fenugreek Seeds Stock of Fenugreek seeds is cleaned through a jet of air to remove dust and suspended plant particles. Step 3 B2: Separation of impurities manually Air cleaned Fenugreek seeds from the previous step are sieved and visually inspected to remove more impurities. Step 3 B3: Powdering of Fenugreek Seeds: Cleaned Fenugreek seeds from the previous step are ground into fine powder using a grinder with clean Steel blades or pounders and stored for fiirther process in dry containers. 3 C: Stream of Processing of Tunneric: Step 3 CI: Selection of Turmeric: The stock of Turmeric is visually inspected to remove spoilt pieces. Good quality turmeric retained is sent for fiirther processing. Step 3 C2: Cleaning of Tumeric Stock of Turmeric selected from the previous step is lightly washed with a stream of water to remove surface impurities. Step 3 C3: Drying of Turmeric The washed turmeric stock is sun dried by spreading it on a dry and clean surface and exposing it to direct sunlight for the necessary period of time until it becomes folly dry. Step 3 C4: Powdering of Turmeric : Cleaned and dried Turmeric from the previous step is ground into fine powder using a grinder with clean Steel blades or pounders stored for further process in dry containers 3 D : Stream of Processing of Cinnamon: Step 3 Dl: Selection of Cinnamon: The stock of Cinnamon flakes is visually inspected to remove spoilt pieces. Good quality flakes retained are sent for forther processing. Step 3 D2: Cleaning of Cinnamon Stock of Cinnamon flakes selected from the previous step is cleaned with a jet of air. Step 3 D 3: Powdering of Cinnamon : Cleaned and dried Cinnamon from the previous step is ground into fine powder using a grinder with clean Steel blades or pounders and stored for forther process in dry containers Step 4: Preparing the Mixture: The powdered ingredients of the Indian gooseberry, Fenugreek, Turimeric and Cinnamon are mixed in a clean and dry contamination free container in aseptic conditions in mechanized mixing machine in the desired proportion such as the best embodiment composition of Gooseberry Powder: Fenugreek Powder: Tunneric Powder: Cinnamon Powdef=500:50:10:5 The mixture is adequately stirred in the mixer until it is uniformly mixed. No chemicals are used in any of the above steps and this eliminates side effects that may be caused by the presence of chemicals in the end product. Step 5: Capsuling The mixture of the composition prepared in the previous step is fed into an automatic capsuling machine with the required settings and compressed to fill each capsute with the required quantity of the mixture. In a best embodiment capsule, the total weight of the mixture is 565 mg. The composition can also be converted into "Tablets" with the use of an appropriate mitomatic machine. The capsules themselves are made of water soluble pharmaceutcal grade gelatin. step 6: Packing and Labeling: The capsules are packed by automatic machines in clean plastic containers and sealed with silver foil and labeled suitably. Manufacturing and BEST BEFORE month & year. Batch No. etc. are stamped on each contains. tAVe claim 1. A Process to produce dry powder mix comprising the steps of mixing extracts of Indian gooseberry (Emblica officianalis), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum),tunneric(Curcuma longa) and cinnamon ( Cinnamomum « • V ■ % j^ ^^ .A. ^ ^« ^^ ^ ^^ .A. tfh
