Abstract

Valerian is a pharmaceutical plant known for its calming and insomnia-helping properties. It is a plant that has been known since ancient times, but the 20th century is a starting point for the production of extracts, mainly in Europe. All studies aim to obtain an extract at a lower cost and, on the other hand, complete isolation of the carrier substances present in Valerian. The raw material used is the roots of the Valerian plant, which are very rich in valerian acids, which are claimed to be the main carrier substances. All methods used for extraction have their advantages and disadvantages. The maceration method is a very practical method for obtaining Valerian extract, but due to the strong pungent smell, it risks a very large space for exceeding pollution limits, so many European countries prohibit the use of Valerian precisely because of this. air contamination with a counterproductive aroma. Therefore, other more advanced extraction methods are required so that the process is at least a little more closed and the amount of extract is more controlled. The ultrasonic extraction method is actually much more advanced since the process is carried out almost closed and does not pollute the air to the maximum limits and on the other hand it has the same extraction coefficient as maceration extraction and is much cheaper.
