Ethanol is one of the most preferred solvents for extraction and winterization processes. The main reasons are the low toxicity and the easy handling compared to other methods and solvents. Since it is, mostly due to taxes, one of the most expensive solvents, recycling and re-use of the ethanol is very important to minimize production costs and do have a positive effect on the environmental footprint of companies. Many manufacturers also do not want to deal with finding the perfect vacuum settings and therefore prefer automatisms that guarantee a high performance of the distillation process for solvent recovery.
This whitepaper shows how the ethanol of a batch of winterized botanical extract was effectively recovered with Heidolph’s automatic boiling point detection AUTOaccurate.
