Literature states A. Vestia to have tryptamines (and traces (?) of phenethylamine) .03- .28%.
STB extraction on seed grown Acacia vestia was preformed with whole plant after it was dried.
Naphtha added and pulled before seperated and evaporated in a glass pyrex, clear extract that scraped up yellow (minimal yield). Negative for tryptamines on Ehrlich's reagent testing.
Limitation: Small amount of plant material used <5g, from seedlings (however I have found all other active acacias I've tested to produce at seedling stage if indeed active).
Further investigation with a larger volume and an older plant could be conducted to investigate tryptamine presence inline with the literature. Potentially unviable source.
