Exhaustive Steam Distillation Extraction of Aromatic Organics from Rainbow Trout and Water

Abstract

Exhaustive steam distillation extracted several intermediate molecular weight organic chemicals effectively from rainbow trout, but a high molecular weight organic, benzo[a]pyrene, was not extracted. Fish lipids that do not steam-distill appear to retain extremely lipophilic organics in the boiling flask. Therefore, exhaustive steam distillation should be used cautiously in screen- ing effluents for chemicals that are bioaccumulated.

Keywords-Phenol, Naphthalene, Anthracene, Benzo[a]pyrene, Salmo gairdneri
