Precipitation of rotenoids resin extracted from Derris elliptica roots by means of clarifying agents
Rotenone and its congeners have come into an increasingly widespread usage as the active constituents of a large number of insecticides. The roots of Derris elliptica or 'tuba' plant are used as a source of insecticidal compounds which primarily contain rotenone. The main objective of this...

Rotenone and its congeners have come into an increasingly widespread usage as the active constituents of a large number of insecticides. The roots of Derris elliptica or 'tuba' plant are used as a source of insecticidal compounds which primarily contain rotenone. The main objective of this work is to obtain the best combination of the main precipitator agent (aluminium sulfate: Al2(SO4)3) with 4 different types of co-precipitator to completely solidify rotenone from liquid crude extract. Rotenone was extracted from Derris elliptica root using two solvent systems: (1) methanol 95% (v/v), and (2) a mixture of methanol and H2O (8:2). After the extraction, the precipitation process was carried out using Al2(SO4)3 (1.5M) with the addition of co-precipitator (clarifying agents) such as calcium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium caseinate and kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) with a concentration of 1M to 3M.

None of the rotenone was detected in the supernatant to indicate that all rotenone content have been precipitated adequately.
