Extract

The extract is a solution that contains all the useful substances of a plant such as mucilage, tannin, vitamins, and its salts. Extracts may contain various solvents such as alcohol, oil, and water.

As you know, the extract of a plant contains useful substances such as mucilage. Mucilage is a group of plant compounds that are full of polysaccharides. They have anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, softening, adhesive, and inflating properties. Their consumption also causes excrement.

Extraction methods:

The extraction of the extract includes 5 main methods. To choose the type of extract for different uses, it can be useful to learn about different extraction methods:

• Maceration
• Percolation
• digestion
• brewed
• boiled
• Heat extraction with Soxhlet
• Extraction without heat with Percole device

• This extraction is divided into two categories: separation of liquid from a solid and liquid from a liquid. The device that is generally introduced for this operation is the Soxhlet device. In this device, the solid substance and each of the solvents is placed next to each other.
• The preparation of herbal extract is done in two ways with heat or without heat. These methods are determined according to the plant, and if the material in the plant is sensitive to heat, the second method should be used. In these methods, extraction is done using a device called Soxhlet with the presence of heat, and extraction is done with a Percoll device without heat, which is done with a device called Percoll.

The difference between extraction with heat and without heat:

Heatless extraction is done with more solvent and a longer time, which is also more expensive. If heat extraction is faster and cheaper. Of course, extracting without heat makes the objects remain healthy in the extraction and the effect of the extract will be similar to the effect of the plant.

The importance of extraction due to its countless benefits led to the creation of new methods of extraction, which were faster than previous methods and had less energy loss:

• ultrasound-assisted extraction
• or UAE
• Microwave-assisted extraction
• or MAE
• SFE

How to prepare licorice extract:

They also add acid or alkali to the hot water to increase extraction efficiency. The quality indicator of licorice extract is the amount of Glycyrrhizic acid in it.

The form of licorice can be supplied in different forms:

• licorice powder
