Green building in a cornfield. Extraction of Plant Natural Products.
Introduction. Figure 1: Extraction Methods for Natural Products.
Test tubes with solution and one is red. Design of Experiment.
Challenges. Limitation of extraction time Requirement of higher temperature - enhance extraction efficiency Strict time management to prevent oxidation of high polar solvent.
Solutions. Use water bath as the heating source - prevent direct heat contact Set the extraction time to 5 minutes - reduce the evaporation of acidified methanol.
Result of Experiment. A graph of a number of different colored rectangular objects Description automatically generated with medium confidence.
Future Inspiration. Choosing suitable solvents - Maximising extraction efficiency Modification of extraction process – Provide safety.
