Can I use soxhlet extractor for hydrodistillation. I don't want to use solvents.
Did you already consider supercritical carbondioxide?

Dear sir. I appreciate the review article but I'd like to use a published reputable article......so I can follow their method holistically. Thank you.
One of the best options is to extract with super-critical fluid extraction-CO2.
You should set your target and then choose the device, maybe there is a temperature which is ideal for a compound but critical for the others.
@Sina@ kees, I appreciate your response but how do I go about it. Can you help with the methodology.....any material that can help me use this method will be helpful. Thanks
Dear Uchechi

Many more are there As Sina pointed out, you have to find out for yourself, which conditions are the best in your specific situation
Thanks Prof.
