1 We, Trifolium Scientifics engaged in transforming the knowledge of natural treasure of NEEM. We have gained expertise in seed extraction for manufacturing of Azadirachtin technical powder, purification process & formulation technologies to transform the natural treasure. We undertake the consultancy services of neem from lab scale development to large scale production of pure neem oil, neem oil based bio pesticide, Azadirachtin technical powder up to 40%, formulating azadirachtin based bio pesticide, formulating neem cake based organo mineral fertilizer and neem coated urea and NPK. These products are completely Organic, Biodegradable and Safe for Human, animal & to Non- Target Organisms. These are broad spectrum neem based pesticide covering over 600 species. Neem Urea Coating Agent is a product that improves urea efficiency by slowing nitrogen release process by 30% and minimize the investment by farmer.. NEEM TREE

2 Properties of Neem: Since the time immemorial, neem has been associated with healing in the sub-continent of India. A large number of medicinal, cosmetics, toiletries and pharmaceuticals are now based on neem derivatives because of its unique medicinal properties. Almost every part of neem tree is useful as follows: BARK Neem tree bark is bitter, astringent, acrid and refrigerant. It is useful in tiredness, cough, fever, loss of appetite, worm infestation. It heals the wounds and is also used in vomiting, skin diseases. Most of the tooth paste are coming from neem used an active ingredient from bark. LEAF leaves help in the treatment of neuro muscular pains. Neem leaves are also reported to remove toxins, purify blood and prevent damage caused by free radical in the body by neutralizing them.

3 FRUIT Neem fruits are bitter, purgative and anthelmintic in nature. The most important part of neem that can be exploited for commercial returns is the seed. The seed has the following compositions: shell (55-60%), Kernel (40 45%). Generally, neem seed Kernel has the following important chemical composition; azadirachtin (0.35%) nimbidin ( %), nimbin (0.1%), nimbinin (0.01%) vepinin (0.15%), oil content on kernel basis (40-50%), cake (65-70%). These important phytochemicals, from the neem seed, could be raw materials for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetic, soap industries. The processing of the seed to obtain these biochemicals is of utmost priority which must be pursued. neem PULP 47.5% SHELL 25% KERNEL 23% SKIN 4.5% THE NEEM FRUIT CONSTITUTENTS 3 P a g e

4 Neem flowers are used in balancing of the body heat and cough formation. They are astringent, and non-toxic. FLOWER The Seeds from the Neem tree are described as anthelminitic, antileprotic, antipoisonous and bitter in taste. The Neem oil isolated from the kernels by cold press exraction is antidermatonic, a powerful anthelmintic and is bitter in taste. It has a wide spectrum of action and is highly medicinal in nature.

5 BRIEF NOTE ON NEEM SEED PROCESSING: a. Cleaning: NEEM SEED UNDER PROCESSING Neem seed needs cleaning before processing. The cleaning involves removal of stone and other foreign matter from the fruits/seeds. Specially, custom designed machinery adopted in the factory for this process. b. De-hulling: De-hulling is the process of breaking the seeds without damaging the kernels. In this process the seeds pass through rotating stones OR impact Blades designed specially, which break the shell.

6 Furthermore, the kernels are isolated from the shells with the aid of air classifier. The shell / chaff would be sent to fertilizer section for further process to add into fertilizer. NEEM OIL EXTRACTION: This is a process (cold process) of crushing the seed kernels of neem between shaft and blades. Further, neem oil passes through filters and sent for packing. The oil, which contains certain from 600 ppm to 2000 ppm of Azadirachtin. The neem oil reported as pest control properties, and use this for plant protection purposes. The residual oil in the

7 cake is about 8% - 10% max. The Neem cake acquires a high value due to its manure nature; it can be processed as organic fertilizer.
