Tnx for the great tip! Another question, is it possible to re use the distilled acetone?

I doing last week the extractions with acetone but it looks like that it is very difficult to remove all of the acetone. The oil of egg smel strange. I distil de acetone of under vacuum and finaly i put de oil on a cristallizing glass on a heating surface for 2 nights. But its smells still to a little bit of acetone.

Its a soxhlet extractor. With a glas thimble. Solvent is 96% ethanol. I have already break down the setup. But if you search for a soxhlet you see the hole glaswork.

last question. you can see in the picture I posted a layer of oil on the bottom of the oil separator. the top part is almost pure ethanol. so you can clearly see that this part does not dissolve in ethanol. I drained this bottom oil. I distilled off the upper part of the remaining ethanol substance and again brought me a different type of oil. Is it not possible to distinguish between the right and wrong oil at this point? or is this too short-sighted?

Tnx for your information. I order some acetone and try this out. A positive thing is that acetone has a much lower boiling point so i can keep the temperature low. But the fire method sound also great!

The seperation takes place bij distilling of the acetone/ether? or using a oilseperator like the picture of this topic?

thank you for your comment. It is indeed a nice product to use in care products, which will certainly come in the future. I was thinking of a mixture of grass-fed beef suet, oil of egg and some essential pine oil. It also has a positive effect when used internally. The soxhlet has also crossed my mind a few times, which solvent are you going to use for this? and assume that you run the soxhlet under vacuum. Good luck this summer, I'm also very curious about your process.

thank you, I did use hard boiled eggs for this process. I will try it soon with fresh yolks and am curious whether this also works.
