Ultrasound assisted extraction

I've found a few papers on extracting alkaloids with the aid of ultrasound transducers to assist the extraction process. It seems like it's an effective way to extract alkaloids but there's not much I could find specific to DMT.

One paper did a comparison of different extractions methods on Mitragyna speciosa and the ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) yielded slightly less total alkaloid than a highly efficient supercritical CO2 extraction but the UAE was more selective and yielded a higher fraction of mytragine. :)

Here's a pre-view of the paper, it has to be purchased to see it all.
UAE, MAE, SFE-CO2 and classical methods for the extraction of Mitragyna speciosa leaves

Could it be applied to DMT extraction to speed the process and maybe reduce energy inputs to perform an extraction ?
 
what does the ultrasound transduction do?

lyse the cells or something?


also, how cool a job would it be to dink around with ultrasound while testing methods of extracting kratom. i can't believe people get payed for that kind of work.
 
Thanks for that Benzyme

I did search for ultrasound and ultrasonic before I posted but not sonochemistry so I missed those threads. :oops:
