Vinegar as a polar solvent?
    #19194790 - 11/27/13 12:12 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So if in theory I was going to attempt a polar/non-polar solvent extraction of morning glory seeds, Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use white vinegar as a polar solvent in the extraction?

I was looking into the polarity of solvents earlier tonight and read that it was pretty polar, not to mention the water content of it. I feel like it would be a good way to go considering acetic acid is not toxic.

With the water content It would probably take an eternity to evaporate to a level I'd want to dose from. I'd rather use ethanol but if money makes the world go round mine is turning awfully slow.

Maybe I could use isopropyl alcohol for the extraction, then use vinegar as a carrier solvent for the alkaloids after evaporating the Isopropyl off. I feel like it would be a good way to measure doses if I extracted a large amount of seeds.

Anyone got any thoughts on this? I think I might have answered my own questions but It's not a topic I've seen covered anywhere else so a public forum on it couldn't hurt.

Ok so I'm finding conflicting information as to the polarity of acetic acid so I'm at a loss at this point.

My understanding of the information from this source is that acetic acid is quite polar: http://www.chemical-ecology.net/java/solvents.htm

Another site that I can't find again said flat out that it was non polar.

Maybe I'm not understanding how to interpret the polarity index?
