    sublimation techniques. Extraction is the separation of compounds from a mixture based on their relative solubilities in different solvents. Sublimation is the process of separation by which a substance transitions from the solid phase into the gas phase, skipping the liquid phase. Recrystallization involves dissolving a substance in an appropriate solvent then crystallizing it as it cools (impurities remain in solution). The melting points of the substances were determined in order to assess their purity

For that purpose, various carbohydrates were investigated, namely monosaccharides (glucose, mannose, galactose, xylose, arabinose, and fructose) and disaccharides (sucrose and mannose). Moreover, commercial sucrose, fructose and glucose commonly used in the food industry were also tested. The ternary phase diagrams were determined at 298 K, and the respective binodal curves, tie-lines and
