How to determine solubility of a dried extract from plant material?

03 March 2018 1 9K Report

By extract here I mean hexane, dichloromethane, Tetrahydrofuran, methanol, water extracts of a known plant material

I presume you need the solubility in water. You can do it gravimetrically because you do not know the chemical composition.
