Conclusions
-
1.
The action of ultrasonics on the extraction of the alkaloids from Rauwolfia root has been studied. In the initial stage of the process there is a considerable increase in the rate of extraction as compared with the usual method of extraction by steeping.
-
2.
The raunatin obtained by extraction using ultrasonics has been shown by chromatography to be identical with the raunatin obtained by the steeping method of extraction.
