Results and Future Work
During this semester I was able to work with three different extracts of Cundeamor: the crude extract, the Sohxlet extract and the infusion. My results show that organic compounds are being extracted in each by solvents of different polarities. Also, as expected, a major quantity of constituens are extracted in the crudes. We should work [...]

In the scale of 1 to 5, this time I describe my project with a 4 by having more or less 80% of our objectives accomplished. I have optimized most of the mixture of solvents and we have analyzed most of the sample extracts by NMR. Also, I’ve been optimizing the quantities of leaves used [...]

During this semester I had progress in my project and hence I have learned a new technique. This technique is column chromatography and we use it to isolate compounds from the plant Cundeamor extract, to later analyze by spectroscopic methods. In column chromatography, the stationary phase, a solid adsorbent, for which we use silica, is placed [...]
