Hello Bluelighter,
I have some Kratom powder laying around here and I want to make an extract from it.
For that I have read many extraction manuals. After that I have chosen (and acquired) Isopropyl as the main extraction solvent.
Questions:
Thanks for help
I have some Kratom powder laying around here and I want to make an extract from it.
For that I have read many extraction manuals. After that I have chosen (and acquired) Isopropyl as the main extraction solvent.
Questions:
- Is acid also needed really? (Because some say yes and some it is not)
- If acid is needed in what step and how should I use it? (Because those ppl whom say yes to acid, have manly two different ways for adding the acid: Adding acid with water to Kratom (before the main extraction process) and after sitting, let the water evaporate in the oven. The other way the have is to put the acid directly into the Isopropyl.
- If acid is needed: in which concentration should the acid be?
- If acid is used, can I put afterwards (at some point) some Natriumcarbonate into, to reduce the acidity of the mixture?
- Some claim to freeze the Kratom first, other say it makes no different: What is right?
- Some claim also, that putting alcohol into the powder is hardening the cell wands. Is that right? (If it is right, why does this happen?)
Thanks for help
