INTRODUCTION

Pongamol is a naturally occurring flavonoid primarily extracted from the seeds and leaves of the Pongamia pinnata tree (also known as Karanja tree), native to South and Southeast Asia. It is a cream-colored compound that belongs to the flavonoid family and is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and pesticidal properties. It is one of the key bioactive constituents of Pongamia oil.

MANUFACTURE

The extraction of Pongamol typically involves the following steps:
1. Mature seeds or leaves of Pongamia pinnata are selected and cleaned. The material is shade-dried and ground into a fine powder.
2. Solvents like ethanol, methanol, or hexane are used to extract Pongamol.
3. The extract is filtered, and the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure to concentrate the Pongamol.
