    The document discusses the principle of Soxtherm extraction. A fat extractor uses the solvent reflux and siphon principle to continuously extract solid matter with a pure solvent, improving extraction efficiency. Petroleum ether is used as the non-polar organic solvent. The solid material is ground beforehand to increase the contact area between solid and liquid during extraction.

    PRINCIPLE OF SOXTHERM EXTRACTION.

    A fat extractor is used in the laboratory. The fat extractor uses the solvent reflux and siphon
    principle to continuously extract the solid matter by pure solvent, which saves the solvent
    extraction efficiency. The non-polar organic solvent used is the petroleum ether. The solid
    material is ground prior to extraction to increase the area of solid-liquid contact. (Anon,
