Pharmacognosy
which literally means a knowledge
of drugs, pharmaceuticals or food, has been a port of the heading arts
and sciences since mankind first begun
to treat illness and hungers . It
has develop from ancient civilization
that used parts of plants and animals
to contact various potions to eliminate
pain, control suffering and counteract
disease from mass nutrition and Hungary.
The pharmacognosy has risen from the
mysterious incant options of
voodoo tribes and has survived the
unwritten secrete and treasure of
nature recipes of medicine and food
from empiricism era for mankind.
Within
the next quarter century the achievement
of science and technology will be so great that when brought to hear
upon the mysteries of nature that
have long puzzled us, those mysteries
will yield their secrets with amazing
rapacity. |
|
|
|
|
It will be a fascinating
and eventful period. We
will know not only the causes of disease
but the cures and nutrition for most.
The plant and animal kingdoms will
continue to serve mankind in the 21st
century. Just as they have done since
the down of history. Significant new
food & drugs of natural
orison and new method of producing
them will continue to be important
parts of this service. |

Gums
are natural plant hydrocolloids that
may be classified as anionic or nonionic
polysaccharides or salt of polysaccharides.
They are translucent arnorphous substances
that are frequently produces in higher
plants as a protective after injury.
Useful hydrocolloids are also contained
in some seeds embryos or other plants
parts are extracted from various marine
algae, and are produced by selected
microorganisons. A number of semi
synthetic cellulose derivatives are
used for their hydrophilic properties
and they can be considered as specialized
hydrocolloid gums. |
|
|
|
|
|
Gums
are typically heterogeneous in composition
upon hydrolysis, airlines, gelatos,
glucose, mannose, xylose and various
uronic acids are the most frequently
observed components . The uronic acid
other captions methyl other and
sulfate ester substituents further
modify the hydrophilic properties
of some natural polysaccharides. |
|
|
|
During
the past few years as a result of
the intense concern with all aspects
of ecology, There has been a
renewed interest in so called
' Natural food ' and drugs , the source
of commercially useful gums or hydrocolloids
can be summarized as follows: |
|
(1)
|
Shrub
or tree exudates
|
:-
|
Acacia,Karaya,Tragacanth
|
|
(2)
|

|
 |
Capacity |
| |
|
Our plant-capacity for Guar gum Powder is 10 m/tons per
day. In addition to this, production in cassia tora, Sesbania splits and
powder are being done as to export on demand. Monthly production
capacity comes to 200m/tons. |
|
|
Export |
| |
|
Export of Guar gum is being executed in Germany, Spain,
Italy and U.S.A. as generally food grade with 200 mesh /100 mesh with
2500/6000 cps/mpas. Our excellent grade Guar gum powder is identified
as GEMICOL and had prominent products as sold to markets in aboard. Our
GMI unit had progressed nearly within recent three years and found
gigantic exports particularly in Gemicol which automatically become the
best product amongst the customers.
Guar gum powder is white to creamy coloured, free in infiltration, free
from foreign material with ability to suspend solids, hydrogen bonding
control of the viscosity of aqueous solution and to form tough
films. |

resistivity. |
|
Hydrogen bonding to water binding. |
|
Hygenic Nature. |
|
|
Gemicol is manufactured mainly in two basic forms. |
| |
|
|
Food, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetic and diatectic grade
products. |
|
|

|
|
Quality Control |
| |
|
Quality is maintained by highly trained experienced
laboratory staff. Periodically product material is being tested in the
lab and plant operations are in constant supervision.
Product material is tested in our lab and maintaining specifications of
the buyers requisition. Sample of the manufactured material is sent to
buyer and approved before dispatch of material.
Raw material also is tested in all respects in the lab by our Chief
chemist.
Plant is equipped with latest technology highly hygienic.
Production of the material keeps the stipulated time period and
maintains schedules of shipment as per buyer
requirement. |
|
|
Fully Quality Assurance. |
| |
|
Packing and
Container service
Packing-bag material is tested by six drop test before its use.
Packing is ensured of 25 or 50kgs. in each bag. Bag is made of four or
five ply paper bag, HDPE bag packed under proper and strict supervision
as to prevent the material from biological infection and sealed in such
a fashion that provides actual value in weight and precautions against
addition of unwanted material therein.
The container as utilized for shipment to abroad are physically checked
as to its cleanliness, hygienic status , fumigation and pest control are
concerted, specified certificates to this effect are being obtained from
the component authority for each container. Systematical stuffing of
material is ensured before shipment as to avoid tearing off of the pickings and loss of weight and damage to contents. |
