So my soxhlet is onnits way, gonna take a while to get here, but im reading every possible text on using a soxhlet and im trying to decide whether to order prepowdered or shredded. The powdered obviously gives better surface area and possibly quicker extraction, im trying to understand the best method for this. I beleive in the other nexus thread they are saying that POWDERED mhrb used with alcohol prevents clogging, but i want to make sure this is what they are saying. Also my previous extractions included zinc in the acidic phase inorder to de oxidize the dmt oxide, does the alcohol also extract the dmt oxide so i could still use this step with the acidification, or will alcohol leave the dmt oxide still in the bark? I ordered a 500ml soxhlet, how much material (grams) can i fit in a soxhlet this size? I know this is a multi topic thread but these are the questions i have come up with. Any help is appreciated!!
