Title of the project:
Value addition of Nine Medicinal Plant Species in Arunachal Pradesh
2.
Introduction:
The main objective of JFMC is Protection, conservation of natural
resources through active involvement of the people. Checking land
degradation, deforestation and loss of biodiversity and ecological
restoration and environmental conservation and eco-development
involving village level people’s organization, which can manage the
natural resources in and around villages in a sustainable manner and
to improve quality of life and self-sustenance aspect of people living in
and around forest areas and to develop capability endowment and skill
enhancement for improving employability of the rural people.
23 JFMC’s have been selected for cultivation of nine Medicinal
Plants. Value addition of medicinal plant is necessary component for
commercial exploitation as well as medicinal value of Raw Drugs.
3.
Justification/Concept/Objective:
Plant materials are used throughout the country as home
remedies, over-the-counter drug products and raw materials for the
pharmaceutical industry, and represent a substantial proportion of the
global drug market. It is therefore essential to establish internationally
recognized guidelines for assessing their quality. Value addition of the
medicinal plants is very much essential for commercial exploitation as
well as the medicinal value of the raw drugs. Even authenticated plant
material may not be of desired quality and strength and not conforming
to the physicochemical parameters or the concentration of the active
constituents or marker compounds as per the physicochemical

3. standards or the consumer / industry requirements.
Value addition of the medicinal plants can be achieved
directly by improving the quality of the cultivated or collected plant
material and indirectly by quality assurance of the plant material or the
semi-processing of the material to a value added product.
i. Direct Value Addition:

Collection In Proper Season:
Seasonal variation in the concentration of secondary metabolites
present in the plant and which are of medicinal importance is found to be
a common phenomenon and consequently the efficacy or the potency of
the raw drugs may not be the same all round the year or at different
stages of plant growth. These needs to be very much considered and the
collection of the material should be made in the appropriate season.
(Annexure I)

Harvesting & Processing of Plant:
The harvesting and processing of the different parts of the plant
material would increase the shelf life and help in the value addition of
medicinal plants instead of indiscriminate and non judicious harvesting.
(Annexure II & Annexure III)

Grading & Sorting:
Instead of assorted material, which may include infested, immature
and other kinds of unacceptable material, sorting and grading is an
important means of value addition and market potential.

Cleaning:
Any soil, stones, sand, dust and other foreign inorganic matter must

4. be removed before medicinal plant materials are cut or ground for
testing.

Packaging:
The container and its closure must not interact physically or
chemically in any way that would alter its quality. A well closed container
must protect the contents from extraneous matter or from loss of the
material under normal conditions of handling, shipment or storage.
Different categories of the plant material need different packaging
practices.

Storage:
Medicinal plant materials must be stored under specified conditions
in order to avoid contamination and deterioration, avoid formation of
moulds, which may produce toxins. Materials that need to be stored at
temperatures other than room temperature should be stored at low
temperatures
to
avoid
decomposition
of
phyto
constituents
or
deterioration of quality. Low humidity may be maintained using a
desiccant in the container if necessary. Medicinal plant materials
requiring protection from light should be kept in a light resistant
container or the container may be placed inside a suitable light-resistant
(opaque) covering.
Information on proper storage practices of medicinal plants is rather
sketchy and has not received due attention from experts till date. As is in
the case of other plant materials exposure to air, moisture, light, dust,
etc may cause deterioration in the keeping quality of medicinal plant raw
drugs. However this can be minimized by proper cleaning, packing and
storage.
(Annexure IV)

5. General Tips on Storage of Raw Drugs:
1. Enough and Right Space- Dry & Free from Dampness & Humidity
2. Prevention of Rodents, Insects and Birds etc
3. Separate area for different categories of raw material
4. Storage Space should allow free movement of people and
equipments
5. Proper and uniform labeling of raw drugs
6. Keep authenticated samples
7. Proper Packing Material for Storing Raw Drugs
Also Avoid:
1. Storing in Open Spaces
2. Storing on Surface Directly
3. Storing alike materials in vicinity
4. Using inappropriate packing materials
5. Storing the materials for long time
6. Keeping the materials exposed to heat & moisture

Microscopic & Macroscopic Examination:
Medicinal plant materials are categorized according to sensory,
macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. Visual inspection provides
the simplest and quickest means to establish identity, purity and possibly,
quality. Macroscopic identity of medicinal plant materials is based on
shape, size, color, surface
characteristics, texture, fracture and
appearance of the cut surface. However, since these characteristics are

6. judged subjectively and substitutes or adulterants may closely resemble
the genuine material, it is often necessary to substantiate the findings by
microscopy or chemical analysis. Microscopic inspection of medicinal
plant materials is indispensable for the identification of broken or
powdered materials.
ii. In-Direct Value Addition: (Quality Testing for Purity & Strength)

Moisture:
An excess of water in medicinal plant materials will encourage microbial
growth and also causes deterioration following hydrolysis.
This is
especially important for materials that absorb moisture or deteriorate
quickly in the presence of water. The test for loss on drying be carried
out either by heating to 100-105 centigrade or in a desiccator over
phosphorus pent oxide for a specified period of time.

Foreign Material:
Medicinal plant materials should be entirely free from visible signs of
contamination by moulds or insects, and other animal contamination,
including animal excreta. Macroscopic examination can conveniently be
employed for determining the presence of foreign matter in whole or cut
plant materials.
However, microscopy is indispensable for powdered
materials.

Ash Content:
Ignition of medicinal plant material yields total ash constituting both
physiological (from the plant tissue) and non-physiological (extraneous
matter adhering to the plant) ash. Acid insoluble ash represents sand
and siliceous earth.

7. 
Pesticides Residue :
Medicinal plant materials are liable to contain pesticide residues,
which accumulate from agricultural practices such as spraying and
treatment of soils and fumigation during storage. Since many medicinal
preparations of plant origin are taken over long periods of time, the
intake of residues from medicinal plants should not be more than 1% of
the total intake from all the sources including food and drinking water.

Microorganism:
While a large range of bacteria and fungi form the naturally
occurring micro flora of herbs, aerobic spore forming bacteria frequently
predominate. Current practices of harvesting, handling and production
may cause additional contamination and microbial growth.
The
determination of Escherichia coli and moulds may indicate the quality of
production and harvesting practices.
iii. Semi-Processing of Medicinal Plant to Value Added Products

Powder:
Thoroughly cleaned and dried plant material is powdered in a
pulveriser and sieved to obtain a homogenous powder of the desired
particle size.

Tablets/Capsules:
The homogenous powder is mixed with a suitable binding agent and
compressed to a tablet or filled into a capsule of desired dosage.

Extracts:
The dried and clean plant material free from foreign organic matter
substitutes or adulterants is powdered and extracted with a suitable

8. solvent like pure ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol or solvents diluted with
water in a percolator for cold extraction or in a soxhlet extractor under
reflux for hot extraction.
The extracts are distilled under reduced
pressure at low temperatures to remove the solvent and the
concentrated extracts are spray dried.
These extracts can be also
standardized to a required strength of the active/marker compounds.
This simple or semi-processing of the medicinal plant material adds to
the value may fold.

Additional income to JFMC members:
Most of the JFMC members are involved in cultivation of common
non forest timber products and the timber products in the forest area in
their respective allotted areas. The products cultivated are either used for
their own consumption or sold in the local markets at very low prices. This
project will help the Joint Forest Management Committee members to
cultivate and sell the Non-Timber Forest Products in proper market at
better prices and help in creating the much livelihood and income for the
tribal poor.

Exit strategy and sustainability:
Forest ecosystem as a natural resource base, provides benefits that
support lifeline of human being as well as many. Forests provide a wide range
of timber & non-timber produces including fuel wood, fodder, food, and
medicines etc. which act as natural resource inputs for converting them into
economic outputs and thus contribute towards the livelihood of the people.
The quality of forest and the pattern of forest management will determine its
productivity and flow of natural forest products for generating livelihood

25. options for the people. The productivity and sustainable harvesting pattern
will determine the flow of forest resources available for the livelihood of the
community who are dependent on forest. Thus there is direct link between
the quality of forest resource base available and the sustainability of
livelihood of the community for their survival provided the forest is managed
on sustainable basis. While the link between the forest resource base and
livelihood of the people cannot be denied, many more factors which are
responsible
for
sustainable
forest
management,
will
determine
the
sustainability of livelihood of the people.
Sustainable forest management integrates two main interdependent
goals –‘well being of the forest’ and ‘well being of the people’. Sustainability
rests on the principle that we must meet the needs (livelihood as basic need)
of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs. Therefore, sustainability of both natural and human
resources is of prime importance. Sustainability of human resources includes
consideration of social capital and responsibilities for management of
resources. Sustainability of land and natural resources involves maintaining or
enhancing this vital resource base for the long term.
