Can a basified MHRB solution be stored without jungle spice decomposition?

Basically that... I'm performing a naphtha extraction and want to process the remaining solution later with xylene or toluene, but I've heard (some) alkaloids can be degraded/oxidised when kept in a basic solution.

I thought of neutralising the solution with acetic acid, but I'm having a hard time finding the solubility of the sodium acetate formed as by-product of such neutralization in either xylene or toluene.

Any help on this is appreciated?

Interested to know this myself. I like to do one Naptha pull and then do another pull every day (or three) thereafter. Then do a Xylene pull.
Anyway, it's sitting around heavily based for a while.

I can't answer about possible alkaloid changes, but I believe that neutralising the base will leave the soup open to mould attack if it's not stored sealed up well.

I've stored an MHRB solution, and another of A. Confusa for +- six months. I haven't done any chemical analysis on it but the Spice I've extracted after that period of time is still strong and viable, maybe a little less crystalline and more oily.
I din't neutralise them, and I think after that time more alkaoids were extracted, cause I was already at a 2% of yield before leaving it in my drawer for that long.Thumbs up
