MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611022922 A) filed by Pawan Kumar Goel, Panchkula, Haryana, on Feb. 26, for 'shatavarin-iv from asparagus racemosus standardized by hplc- elsd.'

Inventor(s) include Narinder Singh Grover; Kiran Tiwari; and Simta Soni.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a bioactive and high-purity single saponin ( 5.0%) Shatavarin-IV from natural plant material i.e., Asparagus racemosus standardized by HPLC- ELSD. It also discloses an improved, eco-friendly and industrially scalable method for the selective extraction and purification of Shatavarin IV, with a controlled, sequential multi-solvent extraction strategy comprising alcoholic extraction, TLC-based exhausted herb analysis, steam-assisted solvent removal, n-hexane defatting, repeated aqueous vacuum concentration cycles and pH-controlled column purification. These steps collectively enable efficient removal of fats, pigments, polysaccharides and water-soluble impurities while preventing thermal and hydrolytic degradation of saponins. The process yields a stable extract containing not less than 5.0% of the single enriched saponin Shatavarin-IV with negligible residual solvent levels and low moisture content. The extract is suitable for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and women's health applications, including reproductive wellness and stress management."
