<pre>I would like to perform a soxhlet percentage oil determination.

I would like to perform a % oil determination on different varieties of
olives.
Is it neccessary to prepare the olives in some way first?
What solvent should I use ?
Is there a standard method ?
(I have used the method for % fat content in meat but nothing else.)
If anyone can help .....Thanks.
Richard
