FAT EXTRACTION USING SOLVENTS

Specification of

Solvent extraction is used to determine the quantity of various components contained in agricultural, industrial or environmental samples. Soxhlet extraction is one of the most widely used analytical techniques. Adaptations of the technique have been introduced over time in order to reduce lengthy extraction times, for example by increasing the temperature of the solvent used. The modifications introduced by the American chemist Edward L. Randall are some of the most effective for this purpose. VELP Scientifica solvent extractors operate according to the Randall technique.
