Substitution of carcinogenic solvent dichloromethane for the extraction of volatile compounds in a fat-free model food system
Summary
This published article looks at alternative solvent options to dichloromethane (DCM) for extraction of volatile compounds. By exploring the physico-chemical properties and hazard characteristics of the solvents and analyzing their efficiency in extracting volatile compounds from a fat-free model food product, safer options to DCM were identified.
