Lab:
Introduction to the basic methods of secreting and purifying raw materials of natural origin (steam distillation, extraction, etc.). Isolation of essential oils from vegetable raw materials: cinnamon oil (cinnamic aldehyde and eugenol), nutmeg (trimerisin, followed by hydrolysis to myristic acid and esterification). Isolation of fatty acids from coconut shavings. Isolation of ergosterol from baker's yeast and citric acid from lemon. Isolation of alkaloids - theobromine from cocoa, followed by methylation to caffeine. Isolation of flavonoids from tree bark (oak, willow, birch). Isolation of piperidine and capsaicin. Spectroscopic characteristics of the separated and obtained raw materials, their purity and content in the material used for insulation.
