Significance of Extraction method
Extraction method encompasses a range of techniques employed in both Ayurveda and scientific contexts to obtain bioactive compounds from plant materials. These techniques include decoctions, maceration, Soxhlet extraction, and solvent extraction. Specific applications involve preparing mouthwash using Licorice and Triphala, as well as isolating compounds from various plants for pharmacological purposes. The extraction method is essential for deriving medicinal properties, ensuring the efficacy and concentration of desired compounds while minimizing environmental impact through advanced methods like microwave-assisted extraction.

The concept of Extraction method in scientific sources
The Extraction method is a technique for obtaining active compounds from plants, with the study specifically utilizing the conventional maceration method to achieve this.
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
(1) The specific process used to obtain extracts from a plant, which, in the context of the review, was found not to significantly influence the yield.[2] (2) This has received limited attention in previous studies, and researchers have typically used a simple immersed process at room temperature without considering key parameters.[3] (3) This, along with the specific solvent used, can significantly influence the characteristics of propolis, as different solvents can alter its constituents.[4] (4) These are the techniques employed to isolate compounds from T. ammi seeds, ranging from conventional methods like maceration to modern approaches like microwave-assisted extraction.[5] (5) This is the process used to obtain saffron extract from the saffron plant, and it affects the composition and efficacy of the extract.[6]
