A dry extract salted out twice' brown yellow in colour was added to 50ml of Methanol'

The Methanol went instantly red/brown'

A most deffinite red colour'

Shall leave the Methanol to do it's job' then draw it off and evaporate'

Of whatever the result is' it shall be tested sublingualy'

The red/brown colour is the same colour as the boiled seed extract' except it has no yellow to it' as in the Harmala alkaloids present in the boiled seed extract'

So possibly another Harmala alkaloid reacts with the Methanol' making the bright red colour'

A test shall prove'
