Method evidence record

Soxhlet Extraction

Soxhlet Extraction is a continuous solvent extraction method developed by Franz Soxhlet in 1879 for determining fat and lipid content in foods. Using a specialized glassware apparatus, Soxhlet repeatedly cycles hot solvent through a food sample, extracting lipids with high efficiency. It remains the official standard method for fat determination in numerous food standards and is widely used in food analysis and quality control.
