I think this solvent mixture can dissolve most phytochemical compounds and after extraction process is completed you can obtain two layers by using separatory funnel one is polar (ethanol layer) the other is non polar (toluene) and each contain different compounds

Salman Ahmed

Highly agreed with B.R. Rajeswara Rao. His sending links are really helpful and open many doors regarding correct answer of question. I think after carefully reading of each and every post provided by sending links there will be no need for further answer. Mr. Balaji please read them carefully and if you required more help feel free to ask.

G. Balaji

Sorry sir I cant find anything relevant to my question in the attached document. Thank you for the interest though.

Olga Lock

The two solvents you have mentioned have different boiling points, I don't know how it work in a soxhlet extraction.

Ingo Schreiber

The two solvents forms an azeotropic mixture with a decreased boiling point. After extraction and shaking out with water the unpolaric fraction remains in the toluene.
