Well, when recrystallizing with heptane on a hot water bath, won't the spice reach its boiling point and be liberated to the environment, causing a big waste?
Only if you heat it at too high a temperature. Good recrystalizations can be performed at 60-70c which is nowhere near the boiling point of the spice ( I think).
