Externet Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) How simple or complex is it ? What amount of deeeep knowledge is needed to do such ? Or is just to read a instructional and do it as explained there ? Just an example : vinpocetine or ethyl apovincaminate; reportedly extracted from a plant vinca minor, which shows bearing a dozen chemicals; is each one an entire world of knowledge in how to extract, what proven applications has... But... comes from bark, root, fruit, flower... Where is it found in written ? Is there a 'CRC' type of fat book for such knowledge ? Or are these industrial/pharmaceutical top secrets ? How to find how is it done; if it is extremely difficult, critical, or a piece of cake; it there a standard published process guide for the example and for thousand of other processes alike ? Correct, I know peanuts about biochemistry. Edited March 2, 2013 by Externet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 It rather depends on the chemicals and the plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
