Perfect Herbs is a group of Registered Herbalists and Naturopathic Doctors who started out by tincturing their own herbs for patient use. Their mission is to keep high-quality herbs accessible, affordable, and sustainable for practitioners in Canada.
Project Summary
Perfect Herbs approached the CRI to address their challenges with their evaporation and spray-drying process for their herbal tinctures. Our team of experts was able to improve the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics as we increased the yield and quality of their dried tinctures.
The Challenge
Perfect Herbs needed to address the challenges in both evaporating and spray-drying their herbal tinctures in order to assess the best drying technology for their products.
The Solution
The research team at Fanshawe:
- Produced a custom formulation process (food-grade) for evaporating and spray-drying different herbal tinctures
- Custom spray-drying technique made it possible to produce powder with improved physical, chemical, and biological characteristics suitable for further product development
- Compared the success of different binding agents in dried products in addition to other parameters that will increase yield and quality of the dried tinctures
