Step-by-Step Syrup Manufacturing Process
1. Raw Material Sourcing
- Only pharmaceutical-grade ingredients are procured from certified suppliers
- Strict incoming quality checks for purity and potency
- Ingredients include:
✔ Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
✔ Excipients (sweeteners, preservatives, flavors)
✔ Purified water
🔗 USP Standards for Water Purity
🔗 ICH Q7 GMP for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
2. Pre-Production Checks
✔ Equipment sterilization (autoclaving & sanitization)
✔ Formula verification by R&D team
✔ Batch record documentation for traceability
🔗 FDA Equipment Validation Guide
🔗 ICH Q10: Pharmaceutical Quality System
3. Syrup Preparation & Mixing
- Ingredients are precisely weighed as per formulation
- Heated mixing under controlled temperature
- Homogenization for uniform consistency
🔗 Homogenization in Liquid Formulations – ScienceDirect
4. Filtration & Clarification
✔ Multi-stage filtration removes impurities
✔ Clarification process ensures crystal-clear syrup
✔ pH adjustment for optimal stability
5. Quality Testing (In-Process Checks)
- Viscosity & density tests
- HPLC analysis for active ingredient concentration
- Microbial testing to ensure sterility
6. Bottling & Packaging
✔ Automated filling machines for accuracy
✔ Tamper-proof caps & seals
✔ Labeling with batch number, expiry date, and manufacturing details
7. Final Quality Control
- Stability testing (shelf-life analysis)
- Leakage & packaging integrity tests
- Third-party lab verification (if required)

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How Long Does Syrup Manufacturing Take?
The end-to-end syrup manufacturing process usually completes within 3–7 business days, depending on:
- Batch Size & Complexity: Small pilot lots (5,000–10,000 bottles) can turn around faster, while multi-SKU orders may require additional setup time.
- Raw Material Availability: If all APIs, excipients, and packaging components are in stock, production begins immediately.
- Quality & Stability Testing: Accelerated stability protocols or specialized preservative efficacy tests can add 1–2 days.
- Regulatory Label Review: Final artwork proofing and compliance sign-off (FSSAI, WHO-GMP) may extend timelines slightly.
At Tanishq Lifecare, synchronized planning across procurement, production, and QC teams helps us meet tight turnaround targets without compromising on quality.
2. Do You Use Preservatives in Your Syrups?
Yes, but only regulator-approved, pharmacopeial-grade preservatives to ensure both safety and shelf-life:
- Methylparaben & Propylparaben: Commonly used in pharmaceutical syrups for broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection.
- Sodium Benzoate: Often used in acidic or nutraceutical formulations to inhibit yeast and mold growth.
- Natural Preservative Options: On request, we can explore plant-derived preservatives (e.g., rosemary extract) for clean-label or herbal brands.
Every preservative is selected and tested according to ICH guidelines and validated through preservative efficacy testing (PET) in our in-house QA lab.

3. Can You Customize Syrup Flavors?
Absolutely. We offer full flavor and formulation customization to create a product that stands out on the shelf:
- Flavor Profiles: Fruit blends (orange, strawberry), pediatric favorites (bubblegum, cherry), or adult formulations (mint, honey-ginger).
- Sweetener Choices: Sucrose, sucralose, stevia, or sugar-free blends to meet diabetic-friendly or low-calorie requirements.
- Colorants & Opacifiers: Approved food-grade dyes or natural colorants (beetroot, turmeric) for aesthetic appeal and brand differentiation.
- Viscosity & Mouthfeel: Adjusted through excipient ratios to ensure easy dosing, smooth pour, and pleasant texture.
Our R&D team works with you on sensory trials and stability checks to finalize a flavor that aligns with your brand promise.

4. How Do You Ensure Sterility During Production?
Maintaining sterile, contaminant-free environments is critical for safe syrup production:
- Cleanroom Facilities: Production and filling happen in ISO Class 7/8 cleanrooms with HEPA-filtered airflow and positive-pressure differentials.
- Autoclaved & Sanitized Equipment: All mixers, tanks, and piping undergo CIP/SIP (Clean-In-Place / Sterilize-In-Place) cycles before and after each batch.
- Personnel Hygiene Protocols: Operators follow gowning procedures, glove changes, and regular microbial monitoring.
- In-Process Microbial Testing: Samples from each batch are tested mid-run for bioburden, ensuring early detection and corrective action.
These measures, combined with robust GMP and WHO-GMP compliance, guarantee sterile, safe syrups every time.
