Extraction: There are different methods of extraction, such as maceration, percolation, and soxhlet extraction. The choice of method depends on the type of plant material and the desired compound(s) to be extracted. For example, alkaloids can be extracted using acid-base extraction methods.
Fractionation: After extraction, the crude extract can be fractionated to isolate the desired compound(s). Fractionation can be done using various techniques such as chromatography, distillation, and crystallization.
Characterization: Once the compound(s) have been isolated, they can be characterized using various analytical techniques such as spectroscopy and chromatography.
