Soxhlet and Fine Powder

[Trickster]

Unwarranted as in, not being selective, alkaloid wise ?

Meaning, not giving any increase of spice yield. Of course, it could be very useful for full spectrum extraction.

I'm not convinced about the need for some many pulls. I think you should monitor invidually. Could be that the first pull yield 450, the second one 100, and the other four 20 total.

That's a good idea for my next experiment.

DCM can't unbind the alkaloids from intracellular macromolecules, that is, it doesn't hydrolyze DMT from other intracellular molecules.

Am I right thinking that alcohols can?

well, sort of

but alcohols will not change the charge state of the terminal amine, the primary reason we do
A/B. this separates the alks from other molecules like plant carbohydrates.
