摘要

extracting the dried and powdered flower of Sphaeranthus.indicus with an organic solvent such as hydrocarbon, etherial, shloro solvents or alcohol solvent concentrating the extract, absorbing the above concentrated extract on to a conventional adsorbant, drying, washing with a non polar hydrocarbon solvent and then extracting with the same non-polar solvent in a soxhlet extractor, concentracting the extract, crystallising out
