Accessibility Controls

Implementing Organization

Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT)

Project Overview

Market potential . Annual demand of dried Arnebia roots is about 200 tonnes . Global dyes pigments market was estimated at USD 31 billion in 2015 and projected to reach USD 42 billion at a CAGR of 5.0% by 2021.

Benefits

Salient features of the technology
: Developed bioreactor based production system of naphthoquinones, which takes 30 days as compared to 3-4 years under natural condition in the plants; Use of plant leaf tissue for in vitro production of naphthoquinones pigments that eliminates dependency on wild plant population for raw material
