SUMMARY
The isolation of salicin from willow bark is primarily achieved through decoction, which involves adding hot water to finely shredded plant material, resulting in willow bark tea. Alternative methods include using alcohol, although this approach tends to yield more impurities. The foundational study by Evans et al. in the Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association (1945) provides critical insights into these extraction methods.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of plant extraction techniques
