5. Proceso de producción

1. Abastecimiento de materias primas de primera calidad: We painstakingly source high-quality Podophyllum plants from regions where they thrive. The roots and rhizomes are harvested at the optimal stage to ensure maximum Podophyllotoxin content, as determined by advanced analytical techniques.
2. Limpieza y preparación: The harvested plant parts undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove dirt, debris, and potential contaminants. Subsequently, they are dried using gentle, low-temperature methods to preserve the integrity of the bioactive compound.
3. Extracción y purificación: Employ a combination of advanced extraction techniques. Solvent extraction, often using ethanol or water-ethanol mixtures, is commonly used to dissolve the Podophyllotoxin along with other beneficial compounds. Ultrafiltration and chromatography steps, especially high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), are then applied to purify the extract and isolate the pure Podophyllotoxin.
4. Secado y envasado: The purified Podophyllotoxin is dried using vacuum freeze-drying or spray drying to obtain a stable powder form. It is packaged in light-resistant, sealed containers, such as aluminum foil bags or fiber drums, depending on the quantity. This packaging safeguards against light, moisture, and air ingress, ensuring product stability and potency.
