Description
Kashaya reduction concentrates herbal bioactives by simmering at controlled temperatures.
Technical
During simmering, water‑soluble alkaloids, glycosides, phenolic acids, and terpenoids are extracted and concentrated. The process preserves heat‑labile terpenoids while avoiding degradation of curcumin, and the addition of piperine enhances bioavailability by inhibiting glucuronidation.
