Decoction refers to the use of solvent________________?
Correct answer: D. At its boiling point
- A. At ambient temperature
- B. None of these
- C. In its vapor form
- D. At its boiling point
Explanation
Decoction is extraction using a solvent heated to its boiling point, commonly used to withdraw soluble constituents from solid materials. Use at ambient temperature is associated with maceration rather than decoction.
