Importance of analysis of Artemisinin in plantImportance of analysis of Artemisinin in plant  

Analysis of Artemisinin in plant (Artemisia annua) is a very tedious work but ishaving a lot of information which are associated with it.

Information associated with analytical part:­ Vegetative growth Vs Artemisinin content. Development of proper harvesting time. Quantification of losses in post harvest handling. Commercial value of plant. Selection of higher yielding plants to maintain a consistent quality raw 

material for the production of Artemisinin. Based on the selection high yielding plants developed. A good quality plant 

variety as well as seeds. Seasonal & geographical variations in Artemisinin content Vs foliage 

production study. Stability study raw material during storage. Faster analysis required during purchase of Raw material for faster payment 

to farmers. Monitoring of batch extraction process.

Fast  MW – HPTLC  Based Analytical MethodFast  MW – HPTLC  Based Analytical Method

Parallel screening of 10­12 samples in 1 hour. Plant material with an unknown artemisinin content can be analyzed reliably 

over a wide range of concentration. Visible output and multi samples can be compared easily. Similarity and 

differences are immediately apparent. Fingerprint­developed and adulteration can be checked. HPTLC Plates are disposed off after use, eliminating problems associated with 

ghost peak (s) appearance as occurs in routine with HPLC columns. Large number of samples can be analyzed quickly making HPTLC, a fast and 

efficient solution for plant verity development. Suitable for batch processing of artemisinin. cGMP Compliance.  Cost Efficiency:

Why Faster ExtractionWhy Faster Extraction  

Ultrasound­Assisted extraction work upon the principle of penetration, disruption of

 tissues and solublizaton of  plant metabolites. With Ultrasound, Cavitation bubbles  collapse near herb cell walls creating shock waves & liquid jets  that cause the cell

 walls to break and release their content into the solvents, speeding up and improving 

 the  diffusion process that under normal solvent extraction condition is very slow.
