5 DECOCTION AND HOT CONTINUOUS EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES<br />

pends on many factors such as selectivity, polarity, boiling point, chemical<br />

and thermal stability, safety, fl ammability, and costs. Despite the economic<br />

advantages of solvent extraction, the use of volatile organic solvents such<br />

as hexane, acetone and methanol for processing medicinal plants has been<br />

limited due to environmental considerations. Hot continuous extraction<br />

technology shall always remain the method of choice for high effi ciency,<br />

economical extraction and with less capital investment.<br />
