Food-grade N-hexane (CAS No 110-54-3) is a specific grade of hexane considered safe for use in the food industry. Hexane is a chemical compound commonly used as a solvent in various industrial processes, including the extraction of oils from seeds and vegetables. In the food industry, it is primarily used to extract oils from crops such as soybeans, corn and canola in order to produce edible oils.
Food-grade N-hexane is subjected to strict quality and safety standards to ensure that it does not contain harmful impurities or contaminants that could pose a risk to human health, and it is important to note that while it is considered safe for its intended use in food processing, it should not be consumed directly or used as an ingredient in food products.
Benefits of Using Hexane for Extraction
Low Toxicity – N-Hexane Solvent is a fairly non-toxic compound that does not produce poisonous fumes. For this reason, hexane is safe to use in the production of food products, including oil extraction.
Low Boiling Point – Hexane also has a low boiling point at 154.4 degrees fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius) which aides in the extraction process, as extraction involves boiling the subject in a solvent in order to collect oil.
Affordability – N-Hexane Solvent is available is bulk quantities from providers like Ecolink, which helps you cut overall costs.
Versatility – In addition to being great for extraction, hexane is used for many other purposes including industrial cleaning and degreasing, and the production of products like leather, glue, paints, and stain removers.
