Catechu Production By Acacia Catechu

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of catechu production from Acacia catechu. The process begins with cutting down the heartwood of Acacia catechu into fine chips and boiling it in water inside an extractor. The liquid extract obtained after boiling the wood chips with water is then filtered and again concentrated by heating. The concentrated extract obtained is crystallized by cooling, then passed through a filter press and washed with cold water. The crystallized extract is further passed on to create uniform tablets after shaping it and processed further for packaging.
