Is Corona a Real Virus or a Hoax?

By: Randa Hasania Many people claim that Corona is not real and people who get affected by it are just psychologically thinking that they are sick people, which affects their health badly and results in reducing the immune system.

Unfortunately, Covid-19 is not a myth, it is a real virus that many people got it and in some cases, it affected some people severely and even some people lost their lives as a result of it.

Covid-19 is a real virus, however, its symptoms vary from one person to another, regardless of the age, some old people easily get cured, while others, things get worse with them and they cannot defend the virus. In addition, many youth get the virus without showing symptoms, whereas, others get affected by it and in some cases, their conditions lead to death.

Covid-19 Positive test result

My experience with Covid-19

I and my parents recently got infected by Corona Virus. The symptoms started with me, as it started with fever and sneezing, then the symptoms developed to coughing, sore throat, tiredness, loss of smell and taste and diarrhoea. However my parents did not have many symptoms as me, their symptoms were coughing and tiredness only. 

Once I got infected by Covid-19, everyone told me this is normal, seasons are changing and anyone can get cold, but once I lost my smelling sense, We went to the hospital and scanned to check whether me and my parents got infected. Our results were positive and we had to stay quarantined at home for 14 days.

During the quarantine, it is very necessary to take all the vitamins required to improve the immune system, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc. In addition to taking all the three meals regularly with fruits and vegetables as snacks and drinking the required amount of water daily as well as drinking herbs drinks, such as anise, chamomile and green tea.

My advice to you is to go and scan whenever you feel you have the symptoms, because if it didn’t adversely affect you, you might affect others, and there symptoms may differ than yours.  Post COVID infection sanitation, it’s important to sanitize the home and the place where you were quarantined in. To sanitize the area, wear a mask and gloves and use a mix of Clorox and water to clean the surfaces. It is also vital to ventilate the place on a daily basis by opening the doors and windows and allowing fresh air and sunlight to enter.  Some products that help in sanitization include steam cleaning sanitization machine and disinfectant water maker machine as well as UV sterilizer machine, which should be used very carefully.

The UV sterlizer machine is a very powerful machine that provides UV light that kills viruses and sanitizes surfaces. It is recently used to sanitize airplanes to allow people to travel safely during the pandemic. The machine looks like a normal light, but it is actually very effective and it must be used carefully to avoid adverse consequences. When switching it on, no one should stay in the place. 

During my Covid experience, I used this machine without knowing that no one should stay at the same place while its working, and I suffered from sever eye issues and pain. So you have to take care when using it.

Best Steam Sterilized Botanical Powder Manufacturers and Suppliers

Botanical powder is the powdered form of plants containing the component of interest. We all are consuming botanical products in one form or another and powders are one of the commonly used forms. 

These botanical powders are main ingredients across many industries like nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, Ayurveda & other Herbal Traditional medicines etc. All of these are very sensitive sectors as products could be consumed orally and thus sanity & sterility is a major check. One of the best practices to make these botanical powders bacteria or pathogens free is Steam sterilization.

We will also see who are the best steam sterilized botanical powder manufacturers and steam sterilized botanical powder suppliers toward the end of this article.

Let us understand what are botanical powders

To understand something we shall bring something in our mind which we use in our daily life. We all consume spices, fruit powders, Aloe Vera powder, Giloy powder etc. So, all these are botanical powders. The real plant parts (bark, leaves, stem, root, etc.) are cleaned, sorted, dried and powdered to make botanical powder in order to improve their ease of use.

What is Sterilization

Sterilization is a process which targets to kill & prevent microbes such as bacteria, spores, fungi and viruses etc. in order to assure the high quality of the materials.

There are many methods to do sterilization and the most common are heat, high pressure, UV radiation, and cleansing chemicals.

The method is chosen based on the industry and types of the material to be sterilized and cost of sterilization.

 Steam Sterilization

This is also a type of heat sterilization in which items are exposed to direct steam at specific pressure, temperature and for specific time. The instrument in which this process takes place is called autoclave.

Steam sterilization method does not use any chemicals and thus no chemical residual effect is found in the sterilized products, and this technique does not harm the composition or bio-active ingredients of the item.

Advantages of steam sterilization:

1. Cost effective 

2. Less time-consuming 

3. very effective 

4. Nontoxic 

5. Minimal interference with quality of the product

Disadvantages of steam sterilization:

1. Some products are not compatible with steam 

2. Corrosion of metallic devices

Why to steam sterilized botanical powders

We have got an understanding of sterilization and steam sterilization now. Let us see why we need to sterilize herbal powder and botanical powders. And why steam sterilization is the preferred method for botanical powders.

The botanical powders are extracted from various parts of the plants and there is a huge amount of manual handling during collection, pruning, drying and grinding. These steps allow many microbes to get into raw materials at various levels and thus contaminate the botanical powders at the end of the process. So, we surely need to sterilize the final product before it is used in any industry. Other sterilization methods could harm the content of the botanical powders due to chemical interactions but steam sterilization kills microbes present in these powders without disturbing the quality.

This is the process which makes steam sterilized herbal powders safe to consume in our finished products like steam sterilized herbal powders in cosmetics or in raw form like in ayurvedic medicines.

How to steam sterilized botanical powders

Now we understand why we are supposed to sterilize botanical and herbal products. Let us see how the steam sterilization process looks like.

The botanical powders are sterilized through a steam sterilizer which is called autoclave and thus, this process is also referred as autoclaving. Autoclaves are available in various shapes and sizes but when it comes to large industries, they have steam chambers in their plant for bulk sterilization. This saves cost and time for the industries.

In this method, saturated steam at a temperature range of 121 to 132 degree Celsius is passed through the items. The autoclaving is done at a recommended pressure of autoclave is about 106 kPa for approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

During steam sterilization, most of the microbes are killed because this process destroys structural and metabolic components in microbes which are responsible for their replication.

Key Points to Remember during the steam sterilization are:

Maintaining specific temperature, recommended pressure and time according to items.

Replacing air present in autoclave with steam.

Any fruits can be made into jelly if you add a box of commercial pectin. The method is foolproof: follow the instructions to the letter and after a 2-minute boil you will have a product of perfect consistency.

But what if your fruit contains natural pectin? You could still go with the commercial pectin method. Or you can try the old-fashioned way—using the right mix of fruit, a longer boil, and your judgement. In other words, you can make jelly like an artisan.

Fruits with natural pectin

Nanking Cherries

So many of our native and backyard fruits contain natural pectin. These include:

apples—the tart winter varieties, not summer apples

crab apples

chokecherries

Nanking cherries

gooseberries

high-bush cranberries

wild plums

Riper fruits have less pectin and insufficient acid, so avoid using overripe fruits. The recommended mix is ¼ under-ripe fruit and ¾ ripe fruit.

The amount of sugar needed is 3 to 4 cups per 4 cups of juice. The less pectin in the fruit, the less sugar is needed. That’s because there will be more water boiled out. But don’t use less than 3 cups or you may have mold problems.

The acid level is also critical to jelly-making. According to the University of Minnesota Extension, the recommended pH is 3.5, which is the same as 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to 3 tablespoons of water.

How to make jelly

I just finished making a batch of jelly from my Nanking cherry bushes. From a 4-quart bowl of cherries, I extracted six cups of juice.

Here’s how I made it a batch with four cups of juice:

1. Prepare the jars

If you want to preserve the jelly to enjoy months from now, you need to sterilize the jars and lids.

Note: Always use new lids—used lids will not reseal.

Wash the jars and lids and put them in a large pot. Add water to cover and set it to boil. Boil them for at 20 minutes or more and then set to a slow simmer to keep them hot while they wait for the jelly. For each my Nanking cherry jelly batches, which takes 4 cups of juice, I use around 4 jars.

In my setup, I have jar tongs for lifting out the hot jars. The funnel is specially designed for pouring the hot jelly into the jars without spilling.

Funnel and jar tongs

My setup – pots for sterlizing lids and jars and for cooking the jelly

2. Make the jelly

Into a large pot, pour in 4 cups of juice and add the sugar. I used 3 cups as my cherries were on the riper side. Make sure your pot is at least twice as high as the juice plus sugar or the mixture may boil over.

Set the pot to boil on high heat.

Boiling juice and sugar. The foam is mostly skimmed off.

Foam will start to form. Scoop this off with a spoon so that the jelly will be clear. Be careful, because there will be a lot of hot steam at the surface. Or wait until the jelly comes off the heat to skim the foam.

As the water evaporates the liquid becomes more syrup-y and more bubbly. Now start testing for doneness by dipping a metal spoon into the liquid and lifting it out. Observe how the liquid slides off the back of the spoon. As it nears the gel stage, it goes from a single-stream drip to a two-stream drip or a sheet.

It’s bubbling hard

At the jell stage

I usually give it a minute longer past this stage, just to make sure.

Remove the pot from the heat.

3. Pour jelly into the jars and seal

This step is all about preserving the jelly so that you can enjoy it over the winter.

Filling the jelly jars

Lift out a jar and set it down near the pot. Fill it with jelly up to about a quarter inch from the top.

Top the jar with a lid and screw on the ring, but not too tightly. You don’t want to squash and ruin the sealing ring on the lid.

After about an hour, you’ll hear the lid “pop” as it’s sucked inward. That’s the sound of a vacuum seal. To confirm the seal, unscrew the ring and lift up the jar by the edges of the lid. If the lid comes off, that jar has to go in the fridge.

Once the jars are cool, tighten the rings again and move the jars to a cool dark place.

More tips for successful jelly-making

Set aside time to do work without distraction. To be on the safe side, start with hour and half if you’re making a single batch and add a half hour for each additional batch.

The University of Minnesota Extension is a good reference for the science of jelly-making and how to test for pectin levels.

Finally, get creative. Consider mixing fruits to get interesting blends. If your fruit is low in pectin, add crab apples. If the fruit is not very acidic, add lemon juice. Consult some old recipe books for the blends that our grandmothers used to make.

Make jelly like an artisan Any fruits can be made into jelly if you add a box of commercial pectin. The method is foolproof: follow the instructions to the letter and after a 2-minute boil you will have a product of perfect consistency.

Get to Know About Botanical Powders and Herbal Extract

Most of us repetitively hear the buzz around these words and especially when the word is welcoming Ayurveda and yoga. Let us go beyond our common understanding and get to know how they differ.

The botanical powder is the powdered form of plants while herbal extraction is a process by which we can get the component of interest from plants.

Both have their incredible properties which are being used in different sectors like pharma, cosmetic, Ayurveda. 

Key Differentiators:

To know more about Botanical Powders and Herbal Extracts, we have to see the basic aspects such as their processing, properties, and appearance of the powdered form and extraction of botanical plants.

1. Processing - The basic element of botanical powders and herbal extracts are the same as plants (leaves, stems, seeds, etc.). The parts of plants that are going to be the raw material are first cleaned thoroughly and then cut down into small pieces to remove all the unwanted foreign matter. The overall process is done by machine. Then the material is oven-dried to remove all the moisture and then is granulated/grounded for making powder form. While for extraction the Raw Material is dissolved to the solvent according to their solubility & Bio-active principles needed. For example, the solvent can be used water or ethanol, or other, as per raw material’s physical and chemical properties. The unwanted material/chemical/component is separated then to get the exact component. Botanical Extraction is quite a lengthy and complicated process as it is involved in all laboratory practices.

2. Appearance - We can see the difference visually between botanical powders and extracted material as powders are minute granulated form and extraction can be seen as in solution phase having isolated components in it Or spray-dried hygroscopic fine powder.

3. Properties – In herbal extracts, the component of interest can be used after extracting it from the solution, on the other hand, the power of plants has all components in it.

Difference between botanical powder and Herbal Extracts- 

As the difference can be seen on the basis of physical properties, other than this the powder of the botanical plants contains all the active components in it and preserves their integrity while the extraction is all about isolating the specific Bio-active component. 

Herbal Extracts Manufacturer and Herbal Extracts Supplier-

At present, 80 percent of the populations in developing countries depend upon the plant-based drug that is powder form and in the form of extract of plants for their overall health care needs. And the value chain of products is categorized as producers, gatherers, and collectors. The supply chain is generally very long, containing 6-7 stages involving the primary the specific botanical plant or herb collector and producers, local contractors, specific wholesale markets on a smaller stage than large wholesale markets, and after that consumer value chain starts. Everything starts with production in which there are numbers of entrepreneurs who are involved in manufacturing and supplying botanical powders and herbal extract. The Government also supports these companies and some of which are well known as following-

Jairamdass Khushiram is the leading botanical powder manufacturers and herbal extract manufacturers who supply botanical powders, herbal extracts, herbs and spices wholesale. They are well known in the market as bulk exporters and suppliers, not only in India but in the international market as well.

Applications –

There are various categories of botanical powders and botanical extracts which are being used in various products such as –

1. Spices (the most basic botanical powders which are used in every household for daily consumption)

2. Herbal teas (in the present scenario everyone wants to be fit and healthy for which herbal teas are very much popular these days.

3. Herbal extract – these are the most constant ingredients of herbal products manufacturing companies. 

4. Essential Oils and Organic ingredients used to be very rich in minerals, vitamins, and other micronutrients.

It is known that medicinal plants can contain vast varieties of potentially active components. The extract of natural herbs has been used in formulations such as natural flavoring botanical ingredients, cosmetic botanical ingredients, ayurvedic medicines also as natural botanical ingredients in Nutraceuticals and allopathic medicines. On another hand, in dietary supplements both have a major role but if one wants to consume all the spectrum of active components or uses as mentioned in Ayurvedic Traditional Texts, of herbs then the powders can be rated higher than the extract which contains the isolated component.

Some of the Botanical ingredients which are very common in use nowadays is as following-

Aloe Vera Extract, Shilajit Extract, Ashwagandha Extract, Amla Extract, Etc. All of these are well-known and famous botanical ingredients that can be used in medicinal form or as cosmetics as they are very rich in components such as vitamins, enzymes, lipids, amino acids.
