2. What is Maceration Extraction?
Maceration extraction is a traditional yet highly reliable herbal extraction technique where plant materials are soaked in solvents (water, ethanol, or their mixtures) to dissolve bioactive compounds. This low-temperature extraction method preserves heat-sensitive phytochemicals such as flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, and terpenoids. It is widely used for industrial herbal extraction due to its scalability, reproducibility, and gentle processing.
