GlossaryHexane Extract

solution obtained by using hexane to isolate specific compounds

Hexane extract, also known as n-Hexane extract, is a solution obtained by using hexane, a solvent, to isolate specific compounds from a mixture, such as plant materials or oils. This method is commonly used in laboratories to separate and purify substances due to hexane's effectiveness in dissolving non-polar compounds like lipids and essential oils.
