Supply chain

Seed to shelf

Turmimax® BIO begins with cultivated turmeric rhizome and ends with a batch-linked, documented shipment. Star Hi Herbs combines raw-material sourcing, controlled manufacturing, in-house analytical testing and quality documentation under one integrated system.

The journey

Six controlled stages

01
Turmeric source selection
Botanical identity and high-curcuminoid raw-material selection. Approved sources are evaluated for origin, crop condition, harvest period and suitability for standardised extraction.
02
Cultivation & crop monitoring
Cultivated turmeric (not uncontrolled wild collection) monitored through the Indian harvest season (Feb–Apr) and off-season for availability of high-curcumin material.
03
Harvest & post-harvest handling
Rhizomes are harvested at maturity, then cleaned, cured, dried and prepared for storage or extraction with controlled moisture and hygienic handling.
04
Controlled manufacturing
Approved turmeric is processed at Star Hi Herbs' Karnataka facilities. Turmimax® BIO is standardised to upto 95% curcuminoids with complete water dispersibility.
05
Analytical testing & batch release
Identity, curcuminoid assay, moisture, particle size, heavy metals, microbiology, pesticides, residual solvents and dispersibility - reviewed against approved specification before release.
06
Packing, documentation & delivery
Food-grade, export-suitable packaging with certificate of analysis, specification, safety data, packing list and applicable regulatory documents per shipment.

True Backward Integration

From seed selection in South India to the finished, documented packaging drum - followed lot by lot.

Stage 01 Sourcing

Rhizome Selection

South Indian Agriculture Sourcing

Our process begins on carefully managed, verified agricultural fields in South India, optimized for high-curcuminoid *Curcuma longa* cultivation. Farms are continuously monitored for optimal soil, irrigation, and pesticide-free parameters.

Batch Integrity Controls

Botanical identity validation
Verified regional geographic origin
Lot-by-lot heavy metals pre-screening

Backward integration

Why an integrated model matters

Better visibility of raw-material origin & crop conditions
Greater control over active-marker consistency
Faster technical & documentation support
Reduced risk of substitution or uncontrolled handling
Improved production planning during seasonal shortages
Clearer accountability from source through finished batch

Responsible sourcing

Sustainability practices

Cultivated, documented botanical sourcing
Crop and seasonal availability monitoring
Efficient raw-material use during extraction
Controlled handling to reduce rejection & waste
Food-safety and quality-management systems
Continuous improvement under Zero Defect, Zero Effect

From turmeric-source approval to finished-product dispatch, traceability records connect raw materials, manufacturing batches, analytical results, packaging and shipment documents - giving brands, formulators and regulatory teams confidence that every Turmimax® BIO batch has passed through a controlled, documented process.
