Aloin - Gel – Juice – Powder – Dice
Introduction
Aloe Vera range of products offering by us are having backbone by highly experienced peoples having deep knowledge in cultivation of Psyllum-husk, Senna leaves, Castor oil, Neem-oil, medicinal plants including ALOE-VERA. The peoples involved in the filed of these Agro Herbals are associated with R&D at ATIRA & Dr. VIKRAM SARABHAI are well known scientific institute of India and has published more than 80 research papers in International & National Journals of repute as well as having registrations for number of patents related to Agro & herbal products.
The officers who are supporting us to export the Natural Herbs has awarded by certificate of MERIT for IMPORT SUBSTITUTION IN early seventies from National Council for Scientific and Industrial Research as well as received distinction medal for contributing outstanding and extra ordinary scientific technological and original research work almost for 3 decades by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.
Brief of Alove Vera Cultivation/Extraction
Having healthy and proliferous are Aloe Vera plants, Leaves are green and juicy. The crop is abundant. It is harvested, replanted and grown again and again. Also you can see the process of harvesting, cleaning and extracting the leaves to obtain Aloin, Aloe Vera Gel & Juice
The cultivation, harvesting, extraction and the other process are carried out by a group of healthy, educated and efficient workers is trained to do the job. In the first instance, each plant, rather each leaf of the plant, is cleaned with water in the field to remove the adhering dust, microbes, insects if any. The water contains 5-10 ppm chlorine to assure that water is free from pathogen etc. This again gives plants and surrounding sterile and aseptic. The leaves are next cut transversally at the bottom. The workers are fully equipped and provided with adequate aprons, hand-glows, nose-masks and head guards to avoid bacterial, viral or other infections from human body to plants and vice-a-versa.
Soon after cutting, the leaves are brought to a washing pond, where each and every leaf is further cleaned manually, first with water and then with a solution containing 0.001 to 0.005 ppm formalin and finally with clean water. The cleaned leaves are brought to a tray 4ftx4ft, with about 1ft height. The leaves are stacked vertically with cut at the bottom to drain-off.
The leaves are next cut once again at the bottom about two to three cms. Above the bottom and fed to the juicing machine. The feeding operation is manual but the juice extraction is carried out in a power driven machine. Thus, leaves are continuously squeezed and extracted Squeezed liquor is collected in front and the extracted leaves at the rear end of the machine. Residual juice from the squeezed leaves is also drained and collected.
The viscous clear transparent juice is then passed through a filtration-cum-homogenizing unit to get clear, water white, transparent juice. Adequate preservative, sodium benzoate plus potassium sorbate, for example are added. The leaves are dried under aseptic conditions and ground.
The juice is cooled to 0-5 degrees C and transported for concentration and freeze drying. The freeze dried powder 200x is packed under nitrogen.
The pioneer place where organic farming, forestation, medicinal plants cultivation, extraction and manufacture of value added products along with variety research activities are carried out with the full fledged R&D laboratory spread in 2000 sq. ft., a factory 2000 sq. ft, with herd of cows for organic manure.
