Quality Control Measures
1.Raw Material Testing: Each root batch is tested for triterpene content (minimum 1.5% in raw material) and pesticide residues.
2.Extraction Monitoring: Temperature and pH are logged hourly to ensure optimal triterpene yield.
3.Final Product Testing:
- Total triterpene glycosides measured via HPLC (accuracy within ±2% of labeled concentration).
- Actein and cimicifugoside quantified to ensure minimum marker levels.
- Heavy metals (ICP-MS) and microbial testing (ISO 21528) to meet global standards.
4.Traceability: Each batch assigned a unique ID, linking to harvest location, extraction parameters, and test results (accessible via client portal).
