General Procedure Using the weighing scale. 41.3 grams of pandan stem was weighed. It was then cut into smaller pieces and was put in a flat tray. The roots were air dried in an undisturbed room temperature for five days. The dried stems were weighed again. To determine the percentage of evaporated water from the roots, the formula below is used: (mass of sample before drying) – (mass of sample after drying)
Percent of Water = ________________________________________________________________ X 100% (mass of sample before drying)
After the 41.3 grams of pandan stem have been dried, it was then weighed again. 25 grams was left after the air drying process. The dried stems were then placed in the beaker and were added with 75 ml of 95% ethyl alcohol and were soaked for a week. The solution is now ready for pythochemical screening and was sent directly to MSU-IIT, Iligan for the process.
