Answer :  The solvent selected for the extraction seen by the ability of interesting secondary metabolites from plants. As the fluid used to perform the extraction of water, ether, or a mixture of ethanol and water. Alcohol, however, is a versatile solvent for extraction.
            Methods of isolation steroid
Procedures for isolation of steroids differ according to the chemical nature of the steroids and the scale and purpose of the isolation. Steroids are isolated from natural sources by extraction with organic solvents, in which they usually dissolve more readily than in the aqueous fluids of tissues. The source material often is treated initially with an alcoholic solvent, which dehydrates it, denatures (renders insoluble) proteins associated with the steroids, and dissolves many steroids. Saponification either of whole tissues or of substances extracted from them by alcohol splits the molecules of sterol esters, triglycerides, and other fatty esters and permits the extraction of the sterols by means of water-immiscible solvents, such as hexane or ether, with considerable purification. Intact sterol esters or hormonal steroids and their metabolites (compounds produced by biological transformation) that are sensitive to strong acids or alkalies, however, require essentially neutral conditions for isolation, and, although some procedures for analysis of urinary steroids employ acid treatment, milder hydrolysis, as by enzymes, is preferred. The acidity of some steroids allows them to be held in alkaline solution, while nonacidic impurities are extracted with organic solvents.
Commercially, abundant steroids usually are purified by repeated crystallization from solvents. Small-scale laboratory isolations for investigative or assay purposes usually exploit differing polarities of the steroid and of its impurities, which may be separated by partitioning between solvents differing in polarity or by chromatography. Occasionally, special reagents may selectively precipitate or otherwise sequester the desired steroid. A classical example is the precipitation of 3β-hydroxy sterols such as cholesterol by the natural steroid derivative digitonin. New steroids of great physiological interest often are isolated from tissue only with extreme difficulty, because they are usually trace constituents. In one example, 500 kg (1,100 pounds) of silkworm pupae yielded 25 mg (0.0008 ounce) of pure molting hormone, the steroid ecdysone (i.e., 20 × 106-fold purification). In such cases each isolation step is followed by an assay for the relevant physiological activity to ensure that the desired material is being purified. The percentage recovery of known steroid hormones during their assay in small biological samples usually is assessed by adding a trace of the same steroid in radioactive form to the initial sample, followed by radioassay (analysis based on radioactivity) after purification is complete. The efficiency of recovery of the radioactive steroid is assumed to be the same as that of the natural substance.
extraction of Flavonoids
Flavonoid metabolites (mainly glycosides) can be degraded by the activity of enzymes in plant material has not been dried or fresh ingredients. Thus it is recommended to use dried, lyophilized or frozen samples. The use of dried botanicals commonly milled into powder first. In the solvent extraction process should choose the appropriate type of flavonoid required so should consider the polarity of the solvent. Types of non-polar flavonoids (eg, isoflavones, flavanones, flavones and flavonols alcohol) was extracted using chloroform, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, or ethyl acetate, while the flavonoid glycoside and aglycone would be more appropriate extracted with alcohol or alcohol-water mixture. To glycosides increased solubility if the water or alcohol-water mixture. Generally most of the extraction process materials containing flavonoids is done simply with the addition of direct solvent extraction.
Powdered plant material can also be extracted using a Soxhlet, initially with hexan, to remove lipids and then with ethyl acetate or ethanol to obtain phenolic compounds. This method is unsuitable for the content of compounds that are not heat resistant. The procedure is safe and commonly used sequential solvent extraction. The first phase, with dichloromethane, to extract flavonoid aglycone and content of non-polar. The next stage of the alcohol will extract and flavonoid glycoside content of polar compounds.
Chalcone glycosides specific flavanones and difficult to soluble in methanol, ethanol, or a mixture of alcohol and water. Flavanones solubility depends on the pH of the water as a solvent. Flavan-3-ol (like catechin, proanthocyanidin, and condensed tannins) can generally be extracted directly with water. However, the content of the compounds in the extract is not much different, either using water, methanol, ethanol, acetone, or ethyl acetate. In this case, can not be claimed that methanol is the best solvent for catechins and procyanidin acetone 70%, and so on.
Anthocyanins can be extracted with cold acidified methanol. The acid used is usually acetic acid (approximately 7%) or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (about 3%).

Anthocyanin extraction (include in flavonoid)
Using solvent extraction based on the solubility of the component to other components in the mixture. stating that polar solvents will dissolve polar solutes and non-polar solvents will dissolve the non-polar solute or so-called "like dissolve like".
In the fruit or vegetable, anthocyanin pigments are generally located in the cells near the surface. Extraction of anthocyanin pigments from plant materials commonly used solvent extractors HCl in ethanol. HCl in ethanol plants will denaturation of the cell membrane and then dissolving the pigment anthocyanin out of the cell. Anthocyanin pigments soluble in ethanol because both polar.
In research for the extraction of anthocyanins from flowers girlfriend water, the best solvent used is ethanol 95%. So is the research on the extraction of pigment from the skin of the fruit rambutan. This is due to the level of anthocyanin polarity similar to the 95% ethanol that can dissolve well in ethanol 95%. In addition to the solvent, the factors that can affect the outcome of anthocyanin extraction is the extraction time, pH and temperature extraction.
Methods Isolation of Compounds Alkaloids (Nicotine)
Alkaloids are usually isolated from the plant by using the method of extraction. Solvents are used when extracting the compound mixture is acidified water molecules. This solvent will be able to dissolve the alkaloid salts.
It also can alkalinize alkaloid-containing plant material by adding sodium carbonate. Bases are formed can then extraction by organic solvents such as chloroform or ether
For alkaloids that are not heat resistant, insulation can be done using techniques alkalinize the solution concentration by first. By using this technique the alkaloid will evaporate and then be purified by steam distillation method.
Each compound in the extract (extraction) based on the level of polarity (solubility)
Extraction is usually performed in stages ranging from non-polar compounds >> semi-polar polar >>
Polar compounds will tersari with polar solvents (eg, ethanol, methanol, water) as did so. examples of semi-polar solvent (ethyl acetate), an example of a non-polar solvent (n-hexane)
Compounds tersari with non-polar solvents >> Lipids, Steroids, Tannins
Compounds tersari the semi-polar solvents >> Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Glycosides
Compounds with a polar solvent tersari >> flavonoid Glycosides
Extractions are often used to separate organic compounds are liquid extraction, the separation of substances based on the comparison of the distribution of substances dissolved in the two solvents are not mutually dissolve.
It's best in a solvent in which the solubility is one greater than the concentration of solutes in the other solvents, the price of K should be larger or smaller than the short-term extraction process called pengorokan, whereas in the long-term use and the heating soxhlot.
Solvent selection criteria:
- Solvents dissolve easily extracted material
- The solvent does not mix with the juices extracted
- Solvent extract little or no impurities that exist
- Solvent easily separated from the solute
- The solvent does not react with the solute through any means

4.  jelaskan dasar titik tolak penentuan struktur suatu senyawa organic. Bila senyawa bahan alam tersebut adalah kafein misalnya. Kemukakan gagasan anda tentang hal-hal pokok apa saja yang diperlukan untuk menentukan struktur secara keseluruhan !
Answer :  I chose the determination structure of tobacco (nicotine).
            To know the strycture we should have solvent like methanol, and the tools for identification the structure.
We can identification structure based on some method like Using Column Chromatography, Using TLC, Infrared Spectrophotometer (IR), UV spectrophotometer, GC-MS.
Example in Results Identification of Compounds in Tobacco Leaf Extract Using TLC. in this method we can use developer solution of methanol. At this stage the results of the chromatography column (more concentrated solutions) that have been obtained and identified by thin layer chromatography using the solvent methanol developers.
From the analysis of thin-layer chromatography separation obtained only one peak each sample, it means that it has produced a compound perfectly separated.
Results Infrared Spectrophotometer (IR) in the Tobacco Leaf Extract Fraction Methanol. In this method we can use methanol as a solvent. Infrared spectrophotometer was used to analyze the functional group of chemical compounds found in tobacco leaves with the solvent methanol. results of Infrared Spectrophotometer (IR) was also determined from the use of solvent in column chromatography for example in one result of identification structure using infrared spectrophotometer produce The existence of absorption at 3398.3 wavenumber indicates the-OH group. This is because the use of methanol as column chromatography. So chromatography column was first performed will affect the outcome of the determination of the method used for the next.
Test results with a UV spectrophotometer Tobacco Leaf Extract Fraction methanol. UV spectrophotometry is used for organic compounds associated with electronic transitions in electron energy levels given. Usually measured compounds having conjugated double bonds. Nicotine has a conjugated double bond in the ring of piridin. Maximum absorption difference may be due to differences in the solvent used. In this method we can use different solvent and that will make difference absorption.
                The results of GC-MS Fraction Methanol Extracts of Tobacco Leaves.  The end of for identification is using GC-MS, from the first step until the end step have relationship like using the same solvent, from one to another will affect result for the next identification structure.
