Abstract The use of several food-grade vegetable oils (corn oil, canola oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil and soyabean oil), as extractants for the recovery of certain organic chemicals from aqueous solutions are described. The organic compounds tested included short-chain aliphatic alcohols, acids, esters and aldehydes and simple aromatic compounds commonly found in fermentation broths and food processing mixtures. The type of oil used was not significant with respect to extraction efficiency. In general, alcohols and acids were poorly recovered while esters, aldehydes and aromatics were satisfactorily recovered from model aqueous solutions at 24C. Caffeine was poorly extracted from water. Increasing temperature tended to increase extraction for most of the readily extractable compounds. Acidulated fatty acid, also tested as an extractant, was less desirable due to the formation of emulsions with the aqueous phase.
