Herbal Molecular extraction
1. Purpose: The goal of molecular extraction is to separate desired molecules from other components in a sample, which may include impurities, solvents, or other unwanted substances.
2. Techniques:
– Liquid-Liquid Extraction: Involves using two immiscible liquids to separate compounds based on their solubility.
– Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE): A method where target molecules are adsorbed onto a solid phase and then eluted with a suitable solvent.
– Filtration: Used to separate solid particles from liquids or gases, allowing the desired molecules to pass through.
– Centrifugation: Involves spinning a mixture at high speeds to separate components based on density.
3. Applications:
– Pharmaceuticals: Isolating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drug formulation.
– Environmental Science: Extracting pollutants from soil, water, or air samples for analysi4. Considerations:
