Obtaining Biologically Active Compounds by Extraction of Valerian Roots

An effective method of obtaining biologically active substances from plant raw materials without changing their optical isomerism is extraction. The investigation results of achieving equilibrium conditions for isovaleric acid extraction from valerian roots and rhizomes are presented. The effect of the isovaleric acid chemical structure and extractant nature on achieving equilibrium conditions is shown.

Оbtaining isovaleric acid extraction from plant raw material

The paper presents a mathematical description of the process of obtaining isovaleric acid by the method of extraction of roots and rhizomes of valerian, taking into account its chemical structure and the nature of the extractant. The traditional case of the extraction process, the straight line of equilibrium in the case of using an aqueous alcohol solution as an extractant and the unconventional case of using desalinated water as an extractant, which is represented by a convex equilibrium line, is substantiated.
