It is said that excess base causes the bark to further break down, releasing more alkaloids. I have put this to test and found out that adding excess base (lye) seems unnecessary.
On the first picture, you can see the exhausted shredded bark in water (left) and the combined-reduced-filtered water extracts (right).
An excess base has been added to the exhausted root bark until pH 13.0. This has been left to sit overnight and then alkaloids have been extracted.
The DMT yield (approx. 40 mg) from the exhausted and then chemically broken down bark (second picture) was very low showing that breaking down the finely shredded root bark using lye gives very little extra DMT, if any.
Can someone confirm this finding?
