Production Test Analysis of the VCLF
Percolation System
Urtica dioica herba Test
Percolation
Analysis of a test percolation of Urtica dioica herba carried
out using constant drop frequency control of the VCLF percolation
apparatus set to 30gtt./min (mean deviation ± 15% calculated over
entire process).
Standard reference values were provided by a quality market herbal
manufacturer to be used for comparative purposes:

Production Processes, Specifications and
Marketing in the Phytopharmaceutical Industry
New Production Parameters and Methods
Applied Using the
VCLF Percolation System
A
series of in-house analyses of the percolation process used in the
production of herbal extracts have been carried out using the
VCLF Percolation System developed by Asclepius Herbal
Consultancy.
The VCLF system enables monitoring, optimisation and fine
control of the percolation procedure, facilitating an extensive
examination of the various parameters relevant to the percolation
system dynamics that are applicable in the percolation process. The
results of these analyses highlight some interesting aspects regards
current percolation methods used within the phytopharmaceutical
industry.
Based upon these analyses, this report discusses the various
parameters relevant to the percolation process and proposes a
revision in protocols and percolation production methods which could
enhance production affectivity and establish innovative control
standards which could be applied in the industrial production and
marketing of herbal extracts.
