So I'm trying to get the hang of trypt extraction through plant oils... and I've gotten to the oil pulling step and I'm now waiting on alkaloid migration.
The method has gone like this:
1- Boil Acacia bark in vinegar/water
2- Strain out bark, save tea
3- Reduce acidic tea to small amount amount of liquid
4- Add Sodium Carb to brew, first bubbling is noted, followed by solution turning cloudy (I assume alks crashing out), added extra spoonful NaCO3 after much crud seemed to have settled on the bottom.
5- Reduce alkaline brew to thick resin, scrape, move to oil pulling jar
6- Add sunflower oil to resin in jar, mixed with a chop stick
The sunflower oil doesn't seem to be pickup up any color though, even after 24 hrs. I have the jar stored so I'll just wait till it starts pulling stuff or I figure out something else to do with it. Jar has been at room temperature.
How long do veggie oil extractors wait for each pull to come into the oil? Is there a pretty immediate color change?
Also, is my assumption that when the tea turns milky, the alks are based correct? Could I have underbased and left trypt acetates in resin?
Next steps will be to salt the oil pulls, base trypt acetates, and pull into isopropanol, so long as the oil will pull correctly.
Thanks for any help
