A PROCESS AND AN APPARATUS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF PHARMACOLOGICALLY ACTIVE GASTRO PROTECTANT SUBSTANCE FROM CELERY SEEDS

摘要

The Invention provides a process for the manufacture of pharmacologically active gastro protectant substance from celery seeds. The process comprises the steps of loading the cetery seed followed by a solvent from the top of a vessel housing a column of vertically oscillating sieve plates, located at equidistant from each other along the height of the vessel to create agltation and Intimate contact of the solvent with the celery seeds. The solvent containing the extract is discharged and filtered using ultra filtration with a filter having a nominal molecular weight cut off of less than 5000 to obtain a concentrate of the active substance which is further concentrated by vacuum distillation to obtain pharmacologlcally active, gastro protectant substance of desired concentration. An apparatus to carry out the abovementioned process is also provided. PRICE: THIRTY RUPEES
