Abstract
Optimization of the experimental conditions affecting the simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction of volatile components of foods was carried out by using the modified sequential simplex method. For this purpose, a new micro steam distillation-extraction device was constructed. The apparatus includes an enlarged surface condenser which contributes to preventing eventual losses of high-volatility components. Determination in the μg/l range of compounds having different polarities and volatilities are accomplished with high recoveries. The construction of the apparatus is such that the use of extraction solvents having densities either higher or lower than that of the solvent sample is feasible with only one configuration.
