why methanol is better than all other solvents for extraction process..

Answer / sonal mathur

Methanol is more used than ethanol, the boiling point of Ethanol is 78.4 °C while the boiling point of methanol is 64.7 °C. so when you have a methanol extract you need lower temperature to evaporate the solvent in the vapour so the extract is less damaged than the ethanol one.
