Is there a need to desalinate caulerpa racemosa specimen prior to extraction?

18 January 2024 0 5K Report

Hello! We are conducting an experiment on caulerpa racemosa crude methanolic extract and we are after the flavonoids present in the plant. According to some journals we read, they did not desalinate the plant sample. I'm not really sure if it would tamper our results. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
