Abstract

Agnus castus Fructus is a pharmaceutical plant that has been used since ancient times in the form of fruits, but since the beginning of the 21st century, when this pharmaceutical plant was declared of particular interest due to its healing properties, it has also begun a very wide application in almost all pharmaceutical industries. The choice of the appropriate extraction method is a very important factor for the extraction coefficient. The maceration extraction method is quite practical and is applied quite successfully since the raw material for extraction is its fruits, since the carrier substances of Agnus Castus are concentrated in the fruits. It is worth noting that all maceration factors play a special role in the extraction coefficient, starting from the size of the granules, temperature, degree of mixing, concentration of the solvent and the duration of the extraction. Although single-stage extraction with maceration gives very good results, it has been tested with an extraction addition to increase the extraction coefficient for the same maceration parameters. This means an additional extraction for the same extraction conditions by adding an additional amount of fresh solvent so that the must allows the extraction process to reach equilibrium and the extraction process to be interrupted.
