The above url is a lab that states that to do a DNA extraction of kiwi the cell membrane is eliminated through liquid detergent and mechincal mashing - done with a beaker in hot water. Would I be correct in saying the liquid detergent emulsifies the lipids in the cell membrane causing it to break down and be more easily destroyed through mechanical mashing?
Does the liquid detergent activate immediately or does heat have to cause movement in order for the emulsifying to occur?
Thanks.
