INTRODUCTION

GMH was established in the year 1995 with the prime objective of Manufacturing, Marketing,
Promoting of Pharmaceutical Specialties and making medicines available also to the man-kind
living in the farthest interior and remote places. Over the last 15 years the Company has made
progress and is today a leading medium scale Pharmaceutical Company in the area of Health Care.
The Pharma division specializes in manufacturing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and
stabilized vitamins. Over the past 29+ years, through our advanced R&D facility, we have been
continuously enhancing the ingredients used in the manufacture of formulations. We manufacture
and supply the following APIs that conform to various international Pharmacopoeias such as IP,
BP and USP.The dedicated R&D division conducts ongoing research to enhance usefulness, quality
and stability of several vitamins using various techniques such as microencapsulation, coating, spray
drying etc.

Some of our vitamins are:

 Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12)


 Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3)
 Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
 Methyl cobalamin
 Vitamin E 50% Powder

Use of vitamins is very common in food & pharma industries. They are used extensively in the
preparation of multi-vitamins, food supplements, beverages, gummies and at times for specific use in
therapeutic preparations. They are generally used in minute quantities since they could pose stability
issues because of their sensitivity & multi-pronged interactions.

G.M.H's value addition is in enhancing the vitamins to increase the product's shelf life and stability
and reduce incompatibility issues.

Garcinia, Amla & Bitter Melon Extracts (manufactured in a separate herbal plant), have several
applications. These extracts are made from pesticides-free raw materials and hence are very safe for
human consumption. Elemental impurities are kept within the lowest acceptable limits and meet the
most stringent standards in the world.

after batch, year after year.

Our Total Quality Process cycle is detailed below:

Incoming Material Test

All incoming raw material is tested against pre-defined set of multiple parameters that have evolved
and been perfected over the years. These parameters include both internally defined parameters
based on 33+ years of learning and Pharmacopoeias’ standards of different countries.

Our incoming material testing is not restricted only to the raw material. All of our packaging
material also go through a similar rigor of quality checks, such as dimensions/volume, thickness,
weight, food- grade plastic test, etc.

Additionally, we also do a thorough check of the text on the labels, their size, data accuracy,
adhesiveness etc., to ensure brand safety.

Report on Industrial Tour (BP815P)

In-process Quality Checks

Once the raw material has passed the incoming material tests, they are accepted for production. In
order to ensure final product meets the desired quality specifications, and to avoid any last-minute
delivery delay, we perform a series of quality checks at all critical stages of the manufacturing
process. Such tests include but not limited to, content uniformity, particle size, bulk density,
moisture contentetc.

Finished Product Testing

Before the product is packaged and dispatched, the product goes through a final set of tests. The
checks at this stage typically consist of microbiological tests, potency tests, residual solvents etc.,
and other checks as per client specified parameters.

Report on Industrial Tour (BP815P)

Retention Sample Testing and annual Shelf-Life Study testing

Every batch of product that we ship, we retain a sample of the shipped product. The retention period
of such samples is for a minimum of 1 year from the stated/expected shelf-life. This allows us to
determine the probable cause(s) of failure of the product post shipment, if any.

The shelf-life study adheres to ICH guidelines and ensures the product consistently meets the
assigned shelf-life parameter.

Root Cause Analysis

In an unlikely event that a shipped product has failed to meet the desired quality standards during
client’s testing, we conduct a thorough Root Cause Analysis. This root cause analysis is conducted
in collaboration with the client to identify and isolate the cause(s) of failure. The findings are shared
with the client in a transparent manner. This ensures that appropriate preventive measures are
identified and implemented to avoid future occurrences.

Risk Assessment & Mitigation Process

Every change in an organization, internal or visible to the client, has a risk associated with it. At
G.M.H, we take utmost care to analyze risks associated with every major or minor change. We then
identify and implement appropriate risk mitigation measures.

INSTRUMENTS
There are various instruments which are kept in the ASIAN PHARMA. During our visit our tour
guide showed us various instruments an explained about their instrumentation and applications.

So below here are few of them which we saw in ASIAN PHARMA.

1. Gas Chromatography

Gas chromatography (GC) in analytical chemistry is a common type of chromatography where


the mobile phase is a gas and the stationary phase is separated as a vapour. The instrumentation of
gas chromatography is given below the picture,

The mobile phase which we usually used in gas chromatography is noble gas or an unreactive gas
such as helium, argon, nitrogen, and hydrogen. A sample is injected into a heating block where the
compound is vaporized. Gas chromatography got a boost when gas liquid chromatography was
invented with good instrumentation.

It is used for testing the purity of substances or the separation of a particular component from a
mixture. The success and failure of gas chromatography analysis or separation depend mainly on
the retention time.

Instrumentation of gas chromatography

A good gas chromatography machine contains the following important components,

1. Pressure regulator

2
Report on Industrial Tour (BP815P)

2. Sample injection port


3. Gas chromatography column
4. Stationary phase
5. Detector
6. Signal
recorder Working

 A sample is injected into a heating block where the compound is readily vaporized.
The sample vapour is carried by the carrier gas into the column inlet.
 The solute is absorbed in the head of the column by the stationary phase. It is traveled
at its own rate through the column according to its partition coefficient value.
 Solutes are eluted according to their partition coefficient and entered into the detector.
 In the detector, solutes give a series of signals resulting from concentration changes
and different rates of elution.
 The recorder provides a plot of the time ageist composition of the carrier gas stream.
The peaks of the plot give the quantitative data in the gas chromatogram.

2. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) principle is a modification of


liquid chromatography used in analytical chemistry for the separation and identification of each
component in a mixture. Liquid chromatography was initially less popular due to the slow technique
for separation. After the discovery of high-pressure pump and ultraviolet-visible detector, the
technique of liquid chromatography is termed high pressure chromatography or High performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC). It is not a special class of chromatography. High performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a rapid technique or instrument which works on all kinds of
chromatographic systems such as adsorption, partition, exclusion, and ion exchange
chromatography.

HPLC Stationary Phase and Mobile Phase

There are two phases in the HPLC system like mobile phase and the stationary phase. We used a
pump to control the flow rate of the mobile phase.

Mobile Phase

The mobile phase in the HPLC system is liquids that dissolved the analyzing samples.

2
Report on Industrial Tour (BP815P)

Stationary Phase

The stationary phase in the HPLC system must be pressure stable. Usually, inorganic supports are
stable at about 600 atmospheric pressure. Silica or alumina is best-bonded support because they
need not be saturated with liquid phase and do not need a precolumn unit. When we used such a
support medium, no contamination from the stationary phase occurred during sample isolation.

The ion exchange phase in the HPLC unit has a limited utility due to its compressibility. Pressure
stable resins are available today which can withstand a pressure of 200 atmospheres. The problems
of stationary supports in exclusion chromatography are more complex than ion exchange resins. All
types of gels used in columns are not pressured stable. Therefore, shrinking under pressure reduces
the efficiency of separation in high-performance liquid chromatography.

Working

The instrumentation of a high performance liquid chromatography unit is given below the picture,

Generally, the efficiency of separation is better at low particle size. Reasonable flow rates in the
HPLC system can be realized by high-pressure pumps. A high performance liquid chromatography
system has the following main components,

 Solvent reservoir
 Sample injection port
 HPLC column
 HPLC detectors
 HPLC chromatogram

3. Infrared Spectroscopy
Infrared spectroscopy also called IR spectroscopy or vibrational spectroscopy is the analysis of
infrared light that interacts with matter in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
An infrared spectrometer is an instrument based on absorption in the infrared region due to
changes in vibrational energy.

Infrared Spectroscopy Instrumentation

The instrumentation of infrared spectrometers resembles UV-visible spectrometers in many


respects. The essential components of IR and UV-visible spectroscopy are similar but sources,
detectors, and optical components are somewhat different from IR spectrometers.

The main components of the IR spectrometer are,

1. Radiation source
2. Sample cells and sampling of substances
3. Monochromators
4. Detectors
5. Recorder

4. Pellet Punching Machine

A pellet mill, also known as a pellet press, is a type of mill or machine press used to create pellets
from powdered material. Pellet mills are unlike grinding mills, in that they combine small materials
into a larger, homogeneous mass, rather than break large materials into smaller pieces.

Report on Industrial Tour (BP815P)

Pilot Plant Services

The institute has diverse equipment and machineries for pilot production of food products some of it
was developed in-house as well. The same facility can be hired by any SMEs, Entrepreneur’s etc.
for carrying out manufacturing and for introducing new/existing products on a trial basis.The
services provided by the Unit are boon to the small and Medium scale industries and new
entrepreneurs. Major processing units housed in the facility include: Twin crew extrusion
equipment, Cryogenic grinding system, Drying systems, Roasting systems and forming machinery.
Added to it there is a Design Centre and Prototype Fabrication Units while assisting in the
automation demands in the area of food processing. Also various Mini Pilot plants attached to the
technology departments caters to the processing of grains, spices, baking, fruits and vegetables,
Packaging and Meat processing.

CONCLUSION

In the end I am glad to tell you that training in G.M.H PHARMACEUTICALS PVT. LTD. And
ASIAN PHARMA, Baddi, was an excellent and fabulous experience. During the training I actually
learned about the pharmaceutical company and above its working the theoretical knowledge is
worth for getting a degree, and it is accessible in the book.

We can only imagine the thing we read, but practical life is always different and an excellent one.
During my training period, I saw the various instruments and apparatus in the industry. The highly
sophisticated instruments that work precisely must be operated with intense care for optimum use.
We could acquire a lot of information regarding the latest instruments and their working
procedures.

Similarly, from a practical point of view a pharmaceutical company is very difficult. During the
training session I tried to my level best to gain practical knowledge as much as I can. I improved my
basic classified doubts and understood the importance of maintaining the quality of products at
pharmaceutical company.

I was successfully able to complete my short venture of training. Lastly, I hope that my training
report fulfils the intended requirements.
