Claims that Dmt/Tryptamines can be found in the leaves and seeds, does anyone have any other info on this? teks? experience performing an extraction? what type of Citrus (orange, lemon, lime, etc)...

Thanks.

You would probably need an orchards worth of them to get anything usuable but I would be interested in knowing the exact percentage that was found.

Here.... this is from the full paper

Table 1. Distribution of Tryptophan and Tryptamine-Derived Compounds in Various Parts of Bergamot Plants by LC-ESI-
MS/MS
range (mg/kg)
compd; peel; fruit edible part; seed; leaf
TRP min−max 8−10; 2−5; 30−50; 21−60
TRPa min−max 9−12; 2−6; 30−50; 19−62
TPA min−max absent; absent; trace; 0.5−2.0
MMT min−max trace; 0.02−0.10; 0.05−0.2; 0.2−0.5
DMT min−max 0.01−0.10; 0.03−0.05; trace-0.1; 0.2−0.4

Sorry about the formatting.... i m not sure how to calculate actual percentage from this but the numbers are there if any mathemanexians want to give it a go

See: Scientific Articles on DMT and undermining/destroying the controlled substances act.

Thanks for the info, i live on a working farm with plenty of citrus about, i will post results when i get around to it...

If any of you find something of interest be sure to let me know, the more info the better.

Cheers.

It's gonna be difficult to extract. If you work with leaf (0,4 mg/kg), you will need 100kg[leaf] to get 40mg[DMT].

I don't know if there is data about others parts of the tree (like root's bark^^).

yeah either way, i'm curious to see what the go is... i wouldnt assume or say that it is viable source..

where i live there are several native acacias that keep me happy (florabunda,longifolia, obtusifolia)... just out of interest sake i'am going to give it a whirl and see what happens.

I found a grove of pulled up orange trees. The roots are hard. After I grind it all up. Should I use a mhrb tek or an acrb ab tek

In TIHKAL in the "DMT is everywhere" chapter, shulgin lists these citrus family (rutaceae) plants:

:Limonia acidissima - contains DMT , the acetamide of NMT and a beta-carboline

Zanthoxylum arborescens and z. Procerum - DMT and NMT

Evodia rutacarpa - 5-meo-DMT

Dutaillyea oreophila - hordenine, 2-methyl-6-methoxy-beta-carboline, 5-meo-DMT.


Melicope leptococca - same spectrum as above

Pilocarpus organensis - 5-meo-DMT

-eg

Its just traces of DMT, check the links Snozz sent, it's most likely not a viable source for DMT extraction... Rather it's more like an interesting fact specially with the drug law in mind, but more likely not a good enough source for DMT.

I don't believe the roots have been tested yet. Last year Swims yielded something from an orange tree root. It might have been 1/2 gram. He didn't try any

Do test it with one of the kits in endlessness' signature. The quantity of an extract says nothing about the quality (its composition). I wouldn't want to smoke or ingest a totally unknown extract either.

Does somebody know if citrus flowers have already been tested for their alkaloids content?
I was curious about that, since my porch had the exact smell of a full spectrum MHRB extraction one month ago, when my citrus tree was blossoming...
