Peanut butter is a homogeneous suspension of peanut particles in an oil. More of a sludge or paste than a solvent/solute system. There are some dissolved flavour compounds in the oil (oil=solvent) and probably some salts or sugar dissolved in the water present in the nut particles (water=solvent)
Aside: The oil in peanut butter is often not peanut oil. Peanut oil is a valuable side product and is stripped away and replaced with cheaper vegetable oils

Butter is a water in oil emulsion.
What is the solute and solvent in chocolate?
In chocolate, the solute is the cocoa solids and sugar, while the solvent is the cocoa butter. When chocolate is melted, the cocoa butter acts as the solvent, dissolving the cocoa solids and sugar to form a uniform mixture.
Is cocoa butter a solute?
no, its a compound ANS2: It could be a solute or it could be a solvent. You will need to determine if it is being dissolved (solute) into something or is having something dissolved into it (solvent). The rule is: that which is in greater concentration is the solvent. If it is a 50:50 mixture there is no need to fuss about the distinction.
What dissolves the solvent or solute?
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
What dissolves solvent or solute?
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)

What is solute and solvent of butter (water in fat)?
It depends on what you are trying to do. The solvent (can be liguid, solid or gas) is whatever dissolves another substance, the solute. If I have a heated vat of lard (melted) and want to dissolve it in some salt, then salt is the solute and the fat is the solvent. If I then pour in some vegetable fat that would be a second solute. So I would have a mixture of lard (animal fat- solvent), salt (a solute) and vegetable fat (a solute). It all depends on how the fat is being used at the time. If you are dissolving something into it; it is a solvent. If it is being dissolved into something; it is a solute.
