EXTRACTION Flashcards
Extraction of soluble constitute from a solid is
Leeching
Stages of drug extraction are
Size reduction
Penetration of solvent
Solution of soluble matter
Diffusion
Separation
Drug exhaust
A drug in dry state is porous due to…
Shrinkage
…is displaced when solvent enters into the pore and penetrate into the cell
Air
Cellulose molecule in form of ultramicroscopic,spirally- shaped fibrils running parallel to the cell axis is known as
Micellae
Micellae in fresh material is surrounded by…
Film of water
When a plant is dried , micellae form…
Continuous membrane
Most shrinkage occurs laterally. T/F
True
Wood shrinkage in drying timber occurs mostly in … direction
8% tangentially
5% radially
0.2% longitudinally
Swelling occurs due to
Distention and osmosis
Solution rate is increased by…
Increase in temperature
The rate of diffusion depends on
Presence of conc. gradient
Thickness of boundary layer
Diffusion coefficient of the solute
Ethanol does not dissolve…
Albuminous matter
…. doesn’t dissolve gum,waxes, fat,oil n sucrose
Ethanol
The main disadvantage of ethanol as solvent is
Cost
Final selection of solvent is based on the knowledge of…
Pharmacognosy
The two main types of extraction methods are
Maceration
Percolation
