Summary A simple laboratory extractor is described which gives results that can be correlated with the operation of a basket‐type extractor. With this apparatus the flow rate of solvent through the meal can be determined, as well as the rate and completeness of extraction. Using flaked expelled corn germ, simple relationships were found to exist between oil content of the expelled meal and completeness of extraction, and between fines content of the flaked meal and flow of solvent through it.
