soulbility iisues
« on: December 17, 2013, 10:43:39 AM »
Hey everyone.
I have extracted a phyto phenol in ethanol. the phenol is hydrophobic  ( C21H30O2 ).
is it possible to enhance the polarity of ethanol with added water, thus reducing miscibility of the phenol,
and than to shake the water/ethanol solvent with vegetable oil in order to move the hydrophobic  phenol to the oil fraction?
the next step is to let set and separate.
appreciate your help

That would depend on how soluble your phenol is in vegetable oil.

Why vegetable oil?  Are you trying to isolate?  If you are trying to add polarity to the ethanol, brine would be the choice.  Also just dissolve a salt in the ethanol layer.

If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the precipitate
