Extraction Methods:

 

 

 

1. The selection of the solvent depends on the final use of the extract

and on technical feasibilities.

 

2. Most active ingredients seem to be soluble in propylene glycol and

ethanol.

 

3. Fewer ingredients are soluble in water, but even water extracts show

at least some bactericidal and fungicidal effects, as well as wound

healing properties.

 

4. Acetone extracts have been used for production of shampoos and

lotions.

 

5. Once the specific chemicals or chemical groups and their biological

effects are better understood, better and more specific extracts can be

prepared for equally specific applications.
