I appreciate your response it was actually the vacuum concentration part of the book that started my inquiry. At first I was unsure as to where one would pull a vacuum in the system which led me to about some simpler vacuum distilling setups, which seem like a less controlled and efficient version of rotovaping. I am interested in both concentrating flavors and separating them so that they can. Be added to sodas and such.

I would think there might be an issue with the seal I would also check the material for the gasket.

In my research which is admittedly limited I came across vacuum distilling setups. I am curious as to wieer there is a reason they were not included in the book as a lower cost option to equipment like the rotary evaporator. It seems that you could modify it slightly and use a water bath with an immersion circulator to have greater control of the tempeture and cover a larger surface area of the flask. I am very interested in any thoughts on adapting this technique.
