Successive extraction of any plant part involves sequential extraction ( e.g. employing soxhlet apparatus or maceration) using solvents with increasing polarity. Following each extraction, the marc (refuse matter that remains after extract has been filtered) will be dried before being extracted using solvent with higher polarity. For example, the following solvents can be used in successive order (lower to higher polarity): petroleum ether then chloroform then ethyl acetate, then methanol.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
