EVALUATION OF CRITERIA FOR THE EFFICIENCY OF THE EXTRACTION PROCESS OF ROOT AND RHIZOMES OF TURKESTAN VALERIAN

Abstract

The goal is to calculate the efficiency criteria of the technological process of percolation of Turkestan valerian roots and rhizomes, to work out an optimal technology for obtaining a thick extract of Turkestan valerian. Materials and methods. In the experiment used roots and rhizomes of Turkestan valerian, purified water and ethanol of 96% pharmacopoeial quality. When determining the optimum extraction conditions 70% ethyl alcohol was used as the extractant. The extraction method is percolation. Each extract fraction was taken at a DER 1: 1 step, the amount of dry residue in each fraction was estimated and the main indices of the process dynamics were calculated. Results. The total yield of extractives from 100 g of the raw materials was 10.79 g, which is more than 12.44%. The maximum number of stages of extraction for obtaining a thick extract is 7, a further increase in portions of the extractant does not lead to a significant increase in the yield of the finished product, which indicates the depletion of the raw material. Тhe optimal technology for getting a thick extract consists of the following classical steps: grinding raw materials, preparing the extractant, preparing herbal raw materials, infusion, percolation, settling, filtration, evaporation, packaging and marking. Conclusion. Based on the conducted research, a technology for obtaining a thick extract from the roots and rhizomes of Turkestan valerian has been tested and experimentally substantiated, a laboratory regulation and methods for its standardization have been developed.
