What is Herbal Extract

Herbal Extracts are a substance made by extracting a part of herbal raw material, usually by using a solvent such as water. The herbal extraction process is often designed to maximize a specific portion of the original chemical compounds found in the plant, many of which have a therapeutic action. Extracts may be marketed as tinctures, absolutes, or powder form. Today, Top Standardized herbal extracts are used as a significant part in medicine and also as alternative medicine both in Ayurveda and homeopathy. It is one of the oldest and most widespread therapies worldwide for promoting overall wellness.

Benefits of Herbal Extract

Lowers Risk of Side Effects

Herbal extracts are well taken by people who are allergic to components in prescription drugs. Herbs are known to have rarer side effects even if they are taken for a longer duration and enhance overall wellness.

Symptomatic Relief

Some herbal extracts may help boost immunity without having side effects and are more effective in providing symptomatic relief, especially while fighting allergies.

Cost Effective

One of the significant benefits of herbal extract is its affordability. These extracts are inexpensive, pocket-friendly, and available without a prescription.

Readily Available

Some of herbal extracts are available as over-the-counter medicines that do not require a prescription. It is said that supplements made of peppermint, chamomile, basil, turmeric, honey, garlic, ginseng, amla, and licorice are quite famous and fast-moving supplements that may help treat cough, cold, flu, inflammation, pain, etc.

Treats Chronic Conditions

Some herbal extracts are widely recommended that may help treat infertility issues, white pepper, and fenugreek may help keep blood sugar under check.

Potency

Another greatest benefit is that the phytochemicals are potent and highly absorbable. Plants have always had strong healing properties, which is why a diet rich in a variety of colorful vegetables, fruits, and fresh-cut herbs have benefited many people suffering from chronic illness.

Versatility

The liquid tinctures are versatile in nature. One can take them straight from the bottle using a dropper, added to foods or beverages, and also can combine them with other botanical extracts to create healing elixirs, syrups, teas, salves, essential oils, and more.

Targeted Healing

Certain herbs offer a highly customizable and targeted approach to health. These extracts may provide targeted healing properties for specific health concerns, combining various products for optimal healing.

Types of Herbal Extract

Single Herb Extracts
The single herbal extract is processed from organic products, sourced from certified organic farms. For the cultivation of such herbs, it is important to keep in mind that the climatic conditions are very much favourable for its growth in terms of quality and quantity. Further, to extract the medicinal properties of the herb, extraction using organic alcohol of grapes is used.

Combination Herbal Extracts
The combination herbal extracts are widely demanded in the market for its high quality results in the application area, may it be medicine or food. In the extraction or manufacturing process, no grain or corn is used, thus making these herbal extracts good to be used by individuals allergic to gluten or other allergen sensitivities.

Liquid Herbal Extracts
The Liquid Herbal Extracts is the most common type and available in every household. The herbal extracts are in huge demand due to their long shelf life. The Liquid Tinctures are very convenient to use and are mostly available in diluted form. During the extensive method of extraction, utmost care is taken care of the herbs and its oils. The manufacturers also make sure to make the extracts safe for individuals with gluten allergies. Thus, no grain or corn is used in the process.

Glycerin Herbal Extracts
The Glycerites, commonly known as the Glycerin Herbal Extracts, are extensively used in preparations of medicines and supplements ideal for consumption by kids and pets. It possesses natural nectar like sweetness. In the extraction process, instead of alcohol, glycerin is used. Moreover, these herbal extracts are also prescribed for individuals having liver issues. The only setback of these extracts is short lifespan as and when compared to that of the alcohol-based herbal extracts. The final product is thick and syrupy in consistency carrying a sweet taste.

Medicinal Value of 5 Herbal Extracts

Ginger
First used by the ancient Chinese and Indians, the famous spice has a long history of use in traditional or alternative medicine, especially against infections and inflammation.Gingerol, the bioactive substance in fresh ginger can help lower the risk of infections and fight off respiratory viral infections. Recent studies show that ginger extract has chemopreventive and antineoplastic properties in gastric cancer, particularly the phytochemical 6-gingerol. The main active ingredients in ginger are 6-gingerol, 6-shogaol, and 6-paradol (Hindwai).

Garlic
Garlic is excellent for controlling high cholesterol and blood pressure, thanks to flavonoids and sulphur-containing compounds. Garlic has antimicrobial effects and researchers are studying the possibility that it may prevent cancer. The FDA considers garlic safe, but it should not be consumed with blood thinners, or before an operation. This is because large amounts of garlic may affect clotting (URMC).

Turmeric
This is another root from the ginger family. Curcumin is the powerful antioxidant in turmeric, that boosts the body's immunity and natural antioxidants. It relieves many ailments mostly caused by inflammation, ranging from digestive problems to arthritis.

Cinnamon
The spice is made from the inner bark of trees and has some powerful medicinal properties. The notable phytochemicals in it are cinnamaldehyde and phenolics. Cinnamaldehyde keeps the body's fat and cholesterol levels in check, while phenolics support insulin and blood sugar levels (Gaia Herbs).

Rosemary
Rosmarinic Acid is the active ingredient present in Rosemary leaves. It helps suppress allergies and nasal congestion.

What Are the Benefits of Herbal Extracts?

Digestive problems
Herbal extracts can be used to treat various digestive issues, including bloating, gas, and constipation. Peppermint extract, for example, has been shown to be effective in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Anxiety and stress
Herbal extracts can also be used to treat anxiety and stress. Chamomile extract, for example, has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality.

Skin conditions
Herbal extracts can also be used to treat various skin conditions, including acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Inflammation
Herbal extracts can also be used to reduce inflammation. Turmeric extract, for example, has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation and pain.

Cancer
Herbal extracts may also be effective in treating cancer. Green tea extract, for example, has been shown to reduce the risk of various types of cancer, including breast and prostate cancer.

How to Choose Herbal Extract

Herbal material
Due to the natural variation in the composition of a herbal starting material (raw herb), the native extract ratio may vary from batch to batch. That is, herbs sourced at different times of the year, or from different climactic / geographical situations, may provide differing amounts of extractable herbal components (using defined extraction solvents, and a validated extraction procedure). Over a period of time, sufficient batch values may be obtained to provide an expected range in the native extract ratio, although this may take several harvests, and years of production, to determine.

Extract solvent
Where the type and amount of solvent used to manufacture a particular extract is the same, a limited degree of variation in solvent concentration is now considered to be acceptable. The ranges outlined in Table 2 below, are considered unlikely to affect the spectrum of components extracted.The permitted range in solvent concentration uses the minor solvent as a reference point. Although the range is +/- 50 per cent of the minor solvent for solvent concentrations of 1-20 per cent, the acceptable solventvariation for the range between 30-50 per cent is restricted to no more than 10 per cent variation around the minor solvent (as this is the range that could result in significant variation and have implications for phyto-equivalence).

Manufacturing process
All parameters of the manufacturing process can affect not only the quantity of extract obtained, but also the composition. It is the responsibility of the sponsor to ensure that any variation does not result in a significantly different extract, and hence a separate and distinct good.

Extract ratio
Variation in native extract ratio can result in a variable amount of herbal material used in an extract. In some instances, variation in the equivalent dry weight of a herb used in herbal preparation in a medicine can affect the validity of the amount of ingredient declared on the label, as well as impacting on the recommended dose of the product.Where a large proportion of extractable material is obtained from a herbal material, the native extract ratio will be low. For example, a low native extract ratio of 2:1 indicates that 50 per cent of the extractable matter obtained from the herb is represented in the final extract.

5 Herbal Extraction and Processing Techniques

Co2 extraction
The rising demand for industrial hemp and the proliferation on the market of CBD products have increased demand for supercritical and subcritical CO2 extraction methods. Both subcritical and supercritical carbon dioxide serve as a highly “tunable” solvent that can be manipulated to target specific components in the plant biomass without exposing delicate compounds to high temperatures.

Falling film distillation
This process is used to gently concentrate a targeted substance and separate unwanted constituents, typically under vacuum conditions. Like CO2 extraction, this distillation method is suitable for temperature-sensitive compounds.When CO2 is used with an additional solvent modifier such as GMP-compliant ethanol, a distillation process such as falling film distillation is needed to remove and reclaim the solvent. This produces a solvent-free botanical extract, and the ethanol can be reused.

Decarboxylation
Decarbing is an essential step in hemp and CBD processing, necessary for converting phytocannabinoids from the acidic forms in the raw plant to their bioactive forms that make them available to the human endocannabinoid system when consumed.Hemp's valuable component, cannabidiol, exists as cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) in its natural state. After extraction, and subsequent distillation if solvent modifiers are used, the crude is exposed to specific temperatures, for an optimal period of time, to break off the acid from the CBDA, leaving CBD.

Hplc & gc testing & analysis
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) are must-have quality control testing capabilities for herbal extraction processes.Botanical extracts are products of plant biomass, and potential contaminants can include pesticides and other chemicals, heavy metals, and residual solvents. The extraction process can create a risk of concentrating contaminants in the extract form-which flies in the face of the health-conscious ideal of consumers for these products.

Post-processing & automated bottling
Consumer demand is the driving force behind the growth in herbal and botanical extracts, so the quicker and more efficiently those extracts can be blended into formulations, bottled, and packaged, the sooner they can capture market share.Many toll processors can perform extraction techniques and return high-quality crude to the customer, often in bulk formats like pails or jugs. That leaves the customer with the tasks of formulating, blending, bottling, labeling, and packaging before final products are ready for consumer purchase, where they can command the greatest margin.

How to Maintain Herbal Extract

Keep away from light
Many herbal extracts contain photosensitive ingredients such as vitamin C. Therefore, direct sunlight should be avoided during storage. It is recommended to store the extract in a brown bottle or an opaque container.

Cryopreservation
High temperatures can easily accelerate the chemical reaction of the extract, causing it to deteriorate. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the extract in the refrigerator, keeping the temperature below 4 degrees Celsius.

Keep sealed
Herbal extracts usually contain more nutrients and active substances and are easily affected by the external environment and deteriorate. Therefore, the extract should be stored in a well-sealed container to prevent it from being affected by air and moisture.

Prevent pollution
Herbal extracts should avoid contact with contaminants such as pollutants, toxic substances, etc. Therefore, care should be taken to keep it clean during the storage process to prevent contamination.

Storage conditions
Herbal extracts should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and cool place to avoid exposure to radiation, radiation, etc.

How to Make Herbal Extracts

For liquid extracts (aka tinctures)
When the whole herb is soaked in a mixture of water and alcohol, the solution pulls crucial plant chemicals out of the herb, while also acting as a preservative (Vital Plan).

For powdered extracts
First, the raw herbs are soaked in the solvent and later evaporated, often under vacuum to obtain the powdered extract. Powdered extracts are made into finished products as capsules and tablets, which are packaged as herbal supplements (Vital Plan).

FAQ

Q: What are herbal extracts made of?

A: Herbal extracts capture the medicinal/ therapeutic essence of the plants that they are made from, and make this available to use for either medicinal purposes or for skincare formulations. Herbal extracts can be made from different parts of a plant including flowers, leaves, roots, bark etc.The difference between a tincture and an extract is that tinctures are always made with alcohol as the solvent. If you are using water, vinegar, glycerine, or any menstruum (solvent) other than alcohol, your preparation is an extract, not a tincture.

Q: How long are herbal extracts good for?

A: Alcohol-based tinctures have an unlimited shelf life and do not require refrigeration if stored in a cool, dark location. Tinctures that are vegetable glycerine-based do not need to be refrigerated and can last from 3-5 years. Vinegar-based tinctures are recommended to be refrigerated, and can last up to a year.

Q: How long does it take for herbal extracts to work?

A: Other acute use herbs can have an effect between about 1 and 3 days. Tonifying body systems is typically a longer process. Tonic herbs are slower, but deeper acting and their action can be thought of as long-term building. Tonic herbs are typically taken long term, anywhere from 1 month to 3 months or more.

Q: What are herbal extracts good for?

A: There are more than a million types of extracts derived from plants, which have been validated for various beneficial purposes like for food stuffs (antioxidant, stabilizer, texturizer, antifungal, substitute for food colorants, etc.), processing aids (chemical replacers, bio preservation), pharmaceutical properties .

Q: Do herbal extracts go bad?

A: In general, herbal supplements and vitamins last about two years before they start to get weaker. When freeze-dried as most are, the herbal powders interact too easily with oxygen. However, water-based liquids, oils, and probiotics should be used before a year is up because they degrade more quickly.

Q: Can herbal tinctures go bad?

A: Yes, herbal tinctures can go bad, and they need an expiration date. The industry standard is to put an expiration date on any herbal supplement that is consumed. The industry standard for an alcohol tincture is five years. However, tinctures are prized for their long shelf life.

Q: Do extracts ever go bad?

A: Flavoring extracts can evaporate over time. Most of the shelf life is between 6 months to 1 year, with the exception of pure vanilla extract. Pure vanilla extract can improve with age if stored in a dark cool place.The difference between a tincture and an extract is that tinctures are always made with alcohol as the solvent. If you are using water, vinegar, glycerine, or any menstruum (solvent) other than alcohol, your preparation is an extract, not a tincture.

Q: Is it OK to use expired extract?

A: The flavor will eventually degrade and weaken over time. If you're using old or “expired” extract, you may have to use more to get the same flavor, so consider modifying your recipes accordingly.Per 1 oz (weight on a kitchen scale) of herb, add 5 ounces of alcohol/water mix. (Do NOT use whole grain alcohol unless you dilute it with distilled water.) The ideal alcohol/water ratio will vary by herb, but 40-60% (80-120 proof vodka or brandy) works for most herbs.

Q: Is a tincture stronger than an extract?

A: Potency: Extracts are more potent than tinctures. Storage: Both products are easy to store and have long shelf lives. Usability: Both products are easy to use. However, you must shake extracts before using them to ensure they are well mixed for optimal effects.Our bodies utilize about 98% of herbal extracts/tinctures but only about 50% of capsule and tablets. Tinctures are far more potent due to the large concentration of herbs in a smaller dose.

Q: Does herbal extract work?

A: Evidence for the effectiveness of herbal medicines is generally very limited. Although some people find them helpful, in many cases their use tends to be based on traditional use rather than scientific research.They are the liquid form sourced from specific plant parts, like roots, leaves, flowers, seeds, or bark, and they provide many medicinal benefits. While most herbal extracts are sourced from plants, sometimes they come from non-plants, such as fungi and algae.

Q: Is alcohol or vinegar better for tinctures?

A: Vinegar tinctures are also typically less potent than alcohol tinctures, meaning that you'll need to consume more to get the same amount of herbal ingredients into your body.Only a very small amount of alcohol is consumed when taking a herbal tincture. It is a safe and effective way of delivering the benefits of herbs.When stored properly, vanilla extract will keep indefinitely, but using it within five years will allow for best flavor and aroma.

Q: How do you know if extract is bad?

A: A change in smell: If the extract has a sour or alcohol smell, it may be spoiled. A change in consistency: If the extract has become thick or syrupy, it may be spoiled. A change in flavor: If the extract has a weak or off flavor, it may be spoiled.Tincture has the longest shelf life of any cannabis extract. Under optimal conditions, it can last years with minimal cannabinoid depreciation. Tinctures will not truly expire, but after very long periods of time or under stressful storage conditions, they will become less potent.

Q: Can mold grow in tinctures?

A: Compared to dried herbs, tinctures are protected against mold because they have less organic matter to grow on and the alcohol functions as a preservative. Though they fight off mold and bacteria, tinctures can still chemically degrade.

Q: Does extract need to be refrigerated?

A: No. Cap it tightly and store in a cool dark place (cupboard away from the stove). If you want to store it in the refrigerator, that's a very cool dark place as well. The alcohol makes it hard for bacteria to take a foothold.The most commonly used dose for tinctures is 30-60 drops or 1-2 dropperfuls. In general, the more acute a condition, the more frequent the doses. Safe dosage ranges are fairly broad with most, but not all, herbs.

Q: Does extract get old?

A: Editor: Lona, most flavoring extracts are quite volatile and, as you discovered with the peppermint flavoring, can evaporate. We looked at the storage recommendations from several flavoring manufacturers and they say that extracts tend to have a shelf life of 6 months to 1 year.Many tincture bottles will recommend something in the range of 20-60 drops 3-4 times a day, and this is a good standard for many people.

Q: How long are extracts good for?

A: Extracts will generally last (maintain quality) indefinitely until they evaporate. But, if you doubt that, sniff and, if you wish, taste. If the scent and taste are good, they will do their job in your recipe. If there's no aroma, discard.As per Ayurveda the shelf life of extract is two years. * If you are just concerned by whether alkaloids will be preserved during storage or not, then store your samples at -20°C.

Q: Why is Mexican vanilla the best?

A: A rich marriage of sweet and woody notes, the Mexican vanilla flavor profile has a deep, creamy, spicy-sweet character, similar to clove or nutmeg. Mexican Pure Vanilla Extract's unique flavor profile means it works especially well with chocolate, citrus fruits, cinnamon, cloves and other warm spices.

Q: Can I use Everclear to make extracts?

A: It is paramount that you begin a fresh fruit extract with high-proof alcohol or, even better, a 195-proof Everclear. You need to make sure that your alcohol percentage doesn't dip below that important 35% level throughout extraction.

Q: Can I use rubbing alcohol for tinctures?

A: No. Isopropyl alcohol is not considered food-safe and is poisonous to ingest. It should only ever be used for extractions where the solvent will be completely purged off as a part of the process (QWISO, RSO, etc…). For tincture, use high-proof ethanol.

Q: Can herbal tinctures go bad?

A: We recommend using alcohol-based herbal tinctures within two years. However, some alcohol tinctures and liniments have a shelf life of 3-5 years, particularly those made with a high percentage of alcohol.However, science has proven the efficacy of some of these concentrated extracts regarding specific biological actions, so they can be very useful even if they don't work exactly like the whole herbs.
