EXTRACTION AND PHYTO CHEMICAL SCREENING OF MEDICINAL

Abstract

Extraction of the active ingredient from the plant is increasingly being considered as a basic human need that the pharmaceutical industry uses to make a variety of medicinal compounds. Extraction methods in industry are mostly based on traditional methods that are described in the text of the article and include Maceration, infusion, brewing, tincture, sox and perch, which according to the type of plant, the type of active ingredient of the plant and the conditions in which extraction takes place. One of the methods is used. In addition to traditional methods, new extraction technologies have been adopted, some of which include ultrasonic extraction, microwave and compressed and pressurized solvents. New methods of extracting plant compounds and plant aromatic substances increase the extraction speed and use energy and solvents more efficiently. In this paper, both types of methods are reviewed.
