Separation characteristics and component comparison of woody extracts of Illicium verum fruit
Journal Title: Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 6
Abstract
Illicium verum was a medicinal plant containing many valuable active ingredients. However, the rich extracts from its fruit are invariably wasted for inefficient separation processes. To further utilize these resources, the four extracts were obtained. The results showed that the optimum extraction times for methanol/ethanol, ether/ethanol, benzene/ethanol, and petroleum ether/ethanol extraction were 3, 5, 9, and 5 h for each single extraction, respectively. Among the four methods, the third method was found to be optimum, and gave a maximum yield of 31.63%. It was suggested that the extracts could be used as rare spices, biomedicines, liquid bioenergy, etc.
