So one other thing I did, it’s not easy and will take refining… But essentially I’d let the water extract evaporate to the point to where it’s juuust starting to skin over on top. Then I’d add methanol which would instantly precipitate TONS of fats out of the solution. Then the tricky part was separating the liquid from the white curdled fats. I would separate then add fresh 50/50 water/methanol and extract again. I did this 5 or so times and by the end you can see the color of the extracts getting lighter and more fogginess from the fats re-dissolving.
I’m sure some gets left behind but when you see just how much crap gets left you’ll know it’s definitely a way to majorly clean the product even with some losses.
Denatured ethanol/everclear could likely be used too in place of methanol.
