Garlic (Allium sativum L.) and garlic extracts have therapeutical properties that stem from their sulfur-containing compounds, mainly allicin. The main objective of this work was to compare conventional and "premium" garlic extracts in terms of yield and quality, with the latter being obtained using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as the solvent. Yield ranged between 0.65 and 1.0% and increased with extraction pressure (150-400 bar) at a constant temperature of 50°C. Extraction temperature (35-60°C), on the other hand, had little effect at a constant pressure of 300 bar. Based on yield and quality considerations, the best extraction conditions using SC-CO2 were 35-50°C and 300-400 bar. A yield of 5.5% was obtained by conventional extraction using ethanol as the solvent, but ethanol appeared to be less selective for valuable components than SC-CO2. The use of fresh garlic resulted in extracts that more closely resembled commercial products, possibly because of thermal and oxidative degradation of valuable microconstituents during drying.

What is preferred in DNA extraction ethanol or isopropanol and why?

Isopropanol is more preferred than ethanol in DNA extraction, as isopropanol facilitates precipitation more better, as it possess very less i.e., 0.6 to 0.7 volumes of alcohol.


Can you use ethanol in extraction with water?

No, ethanol and water are miscible. For an extraction, you want two solvents that are immiscible (mutually insoluble). Standard choices for the organic phase are ethyl acetate or dichloromethane. For the aqueous phase, use water, aqueous acid or aqueous base, depending on the compound you are trying to isolate.

Where are there instructions on how exactly to extract LSA from morning glory seeds?

A VERY brief overview of the extraction process: Grind Ipomoea seeds. Soak grounds in nonpolar solution. Filter out (then throw out) bulk of liquid, evaporate remainder. Soak in polar solution (ethanol), throw out grounds, evaporate ethanol, and you have your product. Found this on a google search. There is a million ways listed, all involve alcohol, (ethanol).


If you fixed a tissue in ethanol that have methanol or other toxic material and then you extract DNA from it does the DNA functionable for PCR?

It depends on the method of extraction. Extraction that involve the use of resins of ionic exchange or affinity should be able to eliminate other substances.
