If we will distillate almonds which solvent will be the best? And what chemicals we expect to see in the the distilled liquid?
Accepted Answer
Distillation of almonds is not a common practice. Almonds contain various compounds, including fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and trace amounts of volatile oils. The best solvent for extracting these compounds would depend on the specific target molecule. For example, hexane is often used to extract oils, while water can be used to extract sugars. However, distillation of almonds would likely result in a complex mixture of these compounds, making it difficult to isolate any specific component.
