So do you think that even once freebased, it'll have a lot of alkaloidal byproducts unsafe to consume? I kind of assumed that the Mitragynine citrate would come out to be goopy. And to be real its not exactly "black" more of a dark orange color that got somewhat harder to see when cooked down This orange lines up alright with my experience with freebase 7 oh
I also didn't use isolated mit; i used like 65% mit total alkaloid extract, which definitely gave some byproducts
Mostly I wasnt worried about oxidant byproducts so much as the oxidizer itself, for the reason that everything you consume is going to oxidize in some way or another before you eat it, but are the oxidized products formed more toxic than the normal alkaloids?
Maybe adding ascorbic acid would help get rid of the remaining oxidant? Just kind of spitballing
I also have access to Chloroform, another documented quencher of singlet oxygen, but im not sure how much it would help after using 3 other quenchers

Still should probably freebase as then I could be sure (rose bengal isnt soluble in NPS)
Lastly; if the freebase step wouldnt result in a safe product; do you think that running it through a chromatography column would do the trick? Should only elute one compound at a time, no? To be real though I should just get one and run the TAE through it to isolate the mit prior to doing any chemistry with it.
Thanks for being so helpful and sorry for all the questions; feel free to tell me to fuck off lol.
