Results and discussion
Solubility in organic solvents / fat solubility
- Medium:
- other: Hexane
- Test substance stable:
- yes
- Details on results:
- All constituents are very good soluble in hexane. Hexane is the technical extraction solvent in oil mill processes and extracts triglycerides and free fatty acids as well.
