This book looks closely at herbal product development and
commercialisation. In spite of an ever-growing demand, there is a
dearth of safe and effective herbal products that meet consumers'
expectations. Therefore, this book takes it upon itself to
elaborate on the development process of herbal insecticides,
repellents and biomedicines from a commercialisation point of view.
The introductory chapters deal with the various strategies for
disease vector control and provide an overview of herbal
biomedicines. The subsequent chapter describes plants with mosquito
larvicidal activity, including a comprehensive list of lethal
concentrations against different mosquito species. The chapter on
Himalayan plants discusses potential botanical insecticide sources
and their chemical constituents before delving into the topic of
natural insecticides of microbial origin and their efficacy against
mosquitoes. Plant-derived insecticides belonging to different
chemical classes and the extraction, purification and
characterisation of bioactive compounds are illustrated, as well.
The recent technological advances in the formulation of microbial,
biochemical and botanical insecticides are also reviewed. Three
chapters focus on important medicinal plants useful for treating
human ailments, with special reference to the traditional healing
practices of northeastern India. This is followed by a chapter on
the production, use and safety of biopharmaceuticals and edible,
plant-based vaccines. The intellectual property issues related to
herbal products in India including patents, trademarks,
geographical indications, trade secrets and traditional knowledge
resources are plainly examined. The book ends with a chapter on the
herbal product registration process in India, wherein the data
requirements for registration, clinical efficacy trials, toxicity
studies, quality control, packaging and labelling are clearly
explained. In conclusion, this book is a step-by-step guide for the
development of safe, effective and commercially viable herbal
insecticides, repellents and biomedicines.
