Answer
Using 1,3-Propanediol for Herbal Extraction
Yes, 1,3-Propanediol can be used to replace Propylene Glycol for herbal extraction.
According to the product description for Propanediol (1,3-Propanediol) (e.q. Zemea), this ingredient is a natural alternative produced by glucose fermentation. It is specifically mentioned that it can be used in place of Propylene Glycol and other glycols or glycerin.
One of the key functions of 1,3-Propanediol is as a solvent, which is necessary for the extraction process.
Therefore, you can use 1,3-Propanediol as a solvent for herbal extraction as a substitute for Propylene Glycol.
