About this document

Kupchan Method for Solvent Extraction by Nayanathara Pilapitiya is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document describes a solvent partitioning method called the Kupchan scheme. The method uses different solvents in stages to extract compounds from a plant extract based on polarity. Hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate are used to separate compounds into fractions based on increasing polarity. TLC tests on the fractions found varying Rf values indicating separation of compounds by polarity.
