Because methanol is a very polar solvent
By separating the mixture of solute and solvent based on their boiling points.
No, due to two reasons 1- edible oils are not soluble in methanol,2- methanol is a poisoness liquid.
Curcumin is separated by solvent extraction.
Good old rubbing alcohol, i.e. isopropanol kills bacteria, and so does ethanol and methanol.

Maybe, Methanol
The solubility of cholesterol in methanol is 0.014. 2-propanol would be a better solvent than methanol for the extraction of cholesterol from egg yolk.
methanol
Alcohol is the solvent. The solute added to make it undrinkable is usually methanol (hence the term "methylated spirits").
A solvent refers to a liquid that dissolves a solute, The most common solvent is water. Other common solvents include: acetone, methanol and benzene.

Depends on the solvent. If it is unsaturated water, yes. Unsaturated methanol, no.
Most of the organic compounds are not sufficiently polar and are insoluble in polar solvent like methanol so only polar fractions may be separated by using methanol.
