A process for preparation of antioxidant conserves from the roots of Indian sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus R.Br.)

The present invention relates to a process for preparation of antioxidant conserves from the roots of Indian sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus. R.Br.). Hemidesmus indicus is a slender shrub grown over the greater parts of India. Literature survey revealed that there is no report on the isolation of antioxidant fraction from Hemidesmus indicus roots. The process steps are: roots of Indian sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus. R.Br.) are powdered and extracted with solvents, filtering to obtain particle free extract, concentrating at a temperature of 39-40 deg C under vacuum and drying to obtain antioxidant conserves.
