Chemical extraction of indigo from Indigofera tinctoria while attaining biological integrity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Indigofera tinctoria was permeabilized with 20% methanol (v/v) at 25 ◦C and released 8 ± 2 μg indigo g−1 dry plant material (excluding roots). This is equivalent to 42 ± 11% of the total indican within the cells. The plants began to recover after 2 weeks.
