Depends on what proportion of alcohol and water you want to take. and also what alcohol. Normally hydroethanolic and hydromethanolic extracts are used. You can use any ratio of alcohol and water mixed together for extraction. Try soxlet extraction it is good
I am trying to do a hydro-alcoholic extraction of calendula officinalis. Is there a book that anyone knows of that I could refer to that provides a good step-by-step procedure?
