Comparison of Solvent Mixing in the Extraction Process of Active Compounds in Dates using GCMS

Abstract

In a previous study we used three solvents, each one separately: methanol, chloroform and hexane. The results showed that each solvent showed different results, whether in the compounds or in the ratio of the compounds if they were similar. Therefore, in this study we mixed the three solvents in a ratio of mixture of three solvents (33.3 %: 33.3 %: 33.3 %) for each one. The results showed different products that included all the compounds that were extracted previously when we used each compound separately.
