Title: Active Ingredient Isolation Method for Echinacea purpurea

Slide 2:

Introduction:

- Echinacea purpurea is a medicinal plant known for its potential bioactive compounds.

- Active ingredient isolation aims to extract and purify specific compounds for further analysis.

Slide 3:

Selection of Active Ingredients:

- Identify target compounds based on desired therapeutic properties and previous research.

- Examples of active ingredients in Echinacea purpurea include alkylamides, caffeic acid derivatives, and
polysaccharides.

Slide 4:

Sample Preparation:

- Obtain dried Echinacea purpurea plant material and grind it into a fine powder.

- Particle size reduction facilitates efficient extraction of active ingredients.

Slide 5:

Solvent Extraction:

- Choose appropriate solvents based on the polarity of the desired compounds.

- Commonly used solvents include ethanol, methanol, and water.


- Extraction methods can include maceration, reflux, or ultrasound-assisted extraction.

Slide 6:

Liquid-Liquid Extraction:

- Some compounds may require liquid-liquid extraction for efficient separation.

- Choose solvents with different polarities to selectively extract target compounds.

Slide 7:

Column Chromatography:

- Column chromatography is commonly used to purify and separate active ingredients.

- A sample is loaded onto a column packed with a stationary phase (e.g., silica gel).

- Elution with different solvents of increasing polarity separates compounds based on their affinity for
the stationary phase.

Slide 8:

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC):

- HPLC is an analytical technique used to analyze and isolate active ingredients.

- It separates compounds based on their differential interactions with the stationary phase and mobile
phase.

- HPLC allows for precise quantification and identification of compounds.

Slide 9:

Crystallization:

- Crystallization is employed to obtain highly purified compounds.

- Solvent evaporation or cooling methods encourage the formation of crystals, which can be collected
and further characterized.
Slide 10:

Conclusion:

- Active ingredient isolation from Echinacea purpurea utilizes various techniques, such as solvent
extraction, column chromatography, HPLC, and crystallization.

- These methods help extract, purify, and separate specific compounds for further analysis.

- Active ingredient isolation contributes to the study of Echinacea purpurea's therapeutic potential.
