Abstract

Experiments were made to evaluate the fundamental aspects of various types of surface-active agents with a variety of Structural differences, selected from anionic, cationic, and nonionic groups, on the extraction of crude drugs. It was found that the addition of a synthetic surface-active agent to an aqueous menstruum will tend to increase the rate of extraction of an alkaloidal crude hug. Anionic surface-active agents will precipitate alkaloids rind are not suitable for extraction of alkaloidal drugs. Cationic surface-active agents in the form of salts with mineral acids show the best results.
