What are Alternatives to Traditional Dehydrating Agents?
In recent years, some alternatives to traditional dehydrating agents have been explored. These include:
- Tert-Butanol: It is less toxic and can be used in place of traditional alcohols for dehydration. - Microwave-Assisted Dehydration: This method uses microwave energy to accelerate dehydration, reducing the overall processing time. - Low-Toxicity Solvents: Newer solvents with lower toxicity profiles are being developed and tested for their effectiveness as dehydrating agents.
