See full technique reference →By reducing pressure, the boiling point of the solvent drops, allowing gentle heating (30–60 °C) without volatilizing heat‑sensitive compounds. The lower pressure also increases the solubility of lipophilic flavor molecules, accelerating extraction rates by 2–5× compared to atmospheric conditions.
Primary Reaction
