TARAM: A Quantum Leap in Quality Control for Extractors

The world has woken up freshly to the benefits of Turmeric, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID19 pandemic. There is a multi-billion-dollar extraction industry, which is bringing to the end consumer the benefits of this golden spice in the form of Curcumin based supplements and therapeutic drugs, to naturally enhance immunity, counter effects of ageing and radical exposure and so on. 

For the extraction industry, traditional methods of assessing turmeric quality have always been a laborious and time-consuming affair, involving intricate laboratory procedures. This not only leads to operational bottlenecks but also significantly impacts profitability. Green Collar Agritech's TARAM, a groundbreaking AI-powered NIR-based quality analyzer, is poised to revolutionize this industry.

TARAM offers a quantum leap in efficiency by providing instant results on-site. For turmeric oleoresin and curcumin extractors, the benefits are manifold. By eliminating the need for expensive laboratory testing, TARAM can reduce operational costs by up to 50%. Additionally, its ability to provide immediate results can improve turnaround time by more than 80%, allowing for faster decision-making and increased efficiency.

TARAM's applications extend across the entire turmeric extraction process. In procurement, it ensures fair pricing and assured quality, by accurately assessing curcumin, moisture, and oil content. High fixed oil content can hinder curcumin extraction efficiency, so accurate assessment at the procurement stage enables extractors to make informed decisions about which lots and varieties to buy. During the extraction process, TARAM solution can be extended to monitor endpoints of various stages and optimize the process. Post-extraction analysis helps assess residual solvent levels.

The versatility of TARAM extends beyond turmeric. It can also be used to evaluate other spices like pepper, chili, cumin, and more. In addition to normal key parameter testing, TARAM can be used as a tool for ease of compliance with government regulatory requirements. For example, in the case of pepper, it can quickly determine piperine content at the importing port, instead of waiting for weeks for laboratory results. This can be crucial for complying with export volume requirements.

TARAM can also be used to instantly assess the quality of beverage commodities like tea, making it a valuable tool for businesses dealing with a variety of agricultural products.

By adopting TARAM, extractors can streamline their operations, improve quality control, and enhance their bottom line. Its ability to provide accurate and timely results can lead to increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved decision-making.
