Heptane/hexane

[Justarandom]

Hey guys first post here. Im after a simple answer please.

Is heptane or hexane good for extractions of acaica acuminata bark?

Ive had low success with shellite and want to try other solvents. Ive read lots of conflicting information.

Some say heptane and hexane are bad for extration some say they are good.
Some say to only use heptane and hexane for recrystalization.

Can someone please clarifiy.

Thanks all!

Hexane is highly toxic. I would suggest to stay away from it.

Yes i heard about it being neurotoxic. But thats if you are mostly around it all day in a factory. Limited exposure in good ventilation is about the same risk as other solvents. Im not after a safety report. Im after a efficiency report. You havnt answered the question.
