Coca-Cola used coca leaf extract in its products from 1885 until about 1903, when it began using decocainized leaf extract. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Extraction of cocaine from coca requires several solvents and a chemical process known as an acid–base extraction , which can fairly easily extract the alkaloids from the plant.
Erythroxylaceae (the coca family) is a family of flowering trees and shrubs consisting of 4 genera and 271 species, native to Africa and South America. [2] [3] [4] The four genera are Aneulophus Benth., Erythroxylum P.Browne, Nectaropetalum Engl., and Pinacopodium Exell & Mendonça.
Erythroxylum is a genus of tropical flowering plants in the family Erythroxylaceae.Many of the approximately 200 species contain the tropane alkaloid cocaine, [1] [2] and two of the species within this genus, Erythroxylum coca and Erythroxylum novogranatense, both native to South America, are the main commercial source of cocaine and of the mild stimulant coca tea.

Erythroxylum coca var. ipadu, also known as Amazonian coca, is closely related to Erythroxylum coca var. coca, from which it originated relatively recently. [3] E. coca var. ipadu does not escape cultivation or survive as a feral or wild plant like E. coca var. coca [4] It has been suggested that due to a lack of genetic isolation to differentiate it from E. coca var. coca, E. coca var. ipadu ...
The Raunkiær system is a system for categorizing plants using life-form categories, devised by Danish botanist Christen C. Raunkiær and later extended by various authors. History [ edit ]
Coca alkaloids are the alkaloids found in the coca plant, Erythroxylum coca. [1] They are predominantly of either the pyrrolidine or the tropane types. Tropane-type alkaloids

Ecgonine (tropane derivative) is a tropane alkaloid found naturally in coca leaves. It has a close structural relation to cocaine: it is both a metabolite and a precursor, and as such, it is a controlled substance in many jurisdictions, as are some substances which can be used as precursors to ecgonine itself.
