Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Yo Butcher Mon: That is one of the things I enjoy so very much about you--up front and honest. That is the way I am. No beating around the bush--people have told me they never have to worry where I stand or how I feel cuz I say it like it is. And there is nothing wrong with that. Anxious to see all you new oils. I'll probably have to rob the bank if I want some of them. Ha Ha! Income tax season you know.

I'm confused!!! > > Thanks, > > Deb > Fragrantly Yours I hope this helps *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.spizes.com/spiceonline/categorylist/VanillaProcessMfgPref.a sp VANILLA ABSOLUTE AND TINCTURE FOR PERFUMERY For perfumery purposes, a very concentrated form of the vanilla aroma, known as an 'absolute', is required which is soluble in pure ethanol and perfume oils. Extraction of vanilla with hot 60 to 80 percent ethanol, followed by removal of the solvent, provides a semi-solid absolute in a yield of about 10 to 12per cent w/w. However, this type of absolute has limited applications in perfumery since it has high resin content and will not completely redissolve in pure ethanol. In order to minimise this solubility problem, some manufacturers have devised selective extraction techniques in which the vanilla is first extracted with a hydrocarbon or chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent to remove resinous material, and is then extracted with aqueous ethanol or acetone. An alternative approach involves first preparing an oleoresin by hot benzene extraction (yield: 6 to 9 per cent, w/w) and then washing the oleoresin with ethanol to obtain the aromatic constituents. On evaporation, this absolute is obtained in a yield of about 60 to 70 per cent (w/w) from the oleoresin in the form of a very dark-brown, highly viscous mass. The absolute prepared by direct ethanol extraction is the most concentrated form of the vanilla aroma but it lacks the full-rounded character of aqueous ethanol vanilla extracts owing to a loss of some of the constituents during solvent stripping. The absolute prepared from the benzene-extracted oleoresin is even less rich in aroma (Garros-Patin and Hahn, 1954; Arctander, 1960; Naves, 1974). Vanilla tinctures used in perfumery differ from those employed in flavouring in that the ethanol content is much higher (approx. 90 per cent v/v) and they are prepared with perfume alcohol i.e. alcohol denatured with diethyl phthalate, etc. Perfumery tinctures are frequently made by maceration of vanilla beans (10 g) in 95 per cent ethanol (100 ml). Finally it should be appreciated that the aroma character of perfumery vanilla absolutes and tinctures, is dependent upon the species, geographical source and grade of the vanilla extracted. The aroma can be modified by appropriate blending. http://www.spizes.com/spiceonline/categorylist/VanillaProcessMfgOle.as p VANILLA OLEORESIN The preparation of vanilla oleoresin intended for flavouring purposes involves solvent extraction of chopped beans (usually 'cuts'), followed by removal of the solvent by distillation under vacuum. The oleoresin remaining after solvent stripping is a dark, viscous mass. Extraction is carried out either in a percolation vessel or in a sealed vessel in which the beans, placed in baskets, are continuously immersed in the solvent. The preferred solvents for extraction are warm, 50 per cent (v/v) aqueous ethanol or warm, 50 per cent aqueous isopropanol. These menstruums are considered to provide oleoresins with the optimum combination of flavour properties, yield and solubility in aqueous ethanol (Garros-Patin and Hahn, 1954; Merory, 1968; Cowley, 1973). Duty is payable with ethanol and there are cost-saving advantages in the use of isopropanol for the extraction. For use in flavouring, the oleoresins are diluted to one, two or ten-fold strength as required. However, the flavour of vanilla oleoresins is not as full-bodied or well-rounded as those of vanilla extracts owing to the loss of some aromatic constituents during the solvent stripping operation. Vanilla oleoresin 'best fulfils the role of a 'vanilla base' and is often used for compounding with synthetic vanillin. Cowley (1973) prepared oleoresins from a number of types of vanilla beans by extraction with 50 per cent aqueous alcohol and obtained products with a specific gravity of approximately 1.3 in yields. Merory (1968) has described a procedure for the preparation of vanilla oleoresin as follows: chopped vanilla beans (200 pounds; 91 kg) are placed in the baskets of an extractor and a menstruum of 50 per cent aqueous isopropanol (200 US gallons; 658 litres) is added, During the extraction, continuous heat of not higher than 46 °C is applied for 2 days. On the third day, extraction is continued without heat and on the fourth day the extract is drained off. For the second extraction, another menstruum of 50 per cent aqueous isopropanol (80 gallons; 304 litres) is used and the same procedure is followed. A third and final extraction is carried out with cold water (100 gallons; 379 litres) for one day and the extract is drained off on the second day. Residual menstruum is recovered by pressing the beans. The extracts from the three extraction steps are combined and the solvent is stripped off by distillation under vacuum. A viscous mass of vanilla oleoresin is obtained in a yield of about 100 pounds (45 kg). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 > How would I go about making vanilla extract of some sort > with those delicious vanilla beans I bought? > Hi Kat, Here's what I've done for my last couple bottles of vanilla extract: Go to the liquor store and buy a Pint of the strongest proof vodka you can find. Doesn't have to be an expensive name brand, just high proof. Slit 2-3 (or 4) beans open lengthwise. Drop them into the vodka. Give a vigorous shake. Put bottle in a dark place. Try to remember to get it out and give it a good shake every few days. Your extract will be ready to use in about a month!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I only got a couple of hours sleep but i will write something very quickly- hope it is readable: You can infuse oil or make a tincture in alcohol- or do both. I always have both and I use the tincture much more, but it is because I use Vanilla in perfumery and not at all in aromatherapy. I normally split the beans and scrape out the soft seedy interior. Then I chop the outer material. I usually use a combination of beans from Madagascar and from Tahiti as well as Mexico and Papua New Guinea- and other places. I use a lot of beans and cover the chopped material in alcohol- I use grain alcohol to make my Vanilla tincture- and most of my tinctures. That's all. You cover it and after some time strain it and refresh with more fresh material- if you like to make it stronger. This can go on several weeks or months. It's wonderful! For an oil based Vanilla infusion I do the same thing except I use organic jojoba oil as my base. I usually also add some very gentle indirect heat for an extended time to encourage it to leave it's scent. Be sure all the material is covered with oil or alcohol. I do sometimes stick it in the blender at some point. I use the oil to make balms and oil based products and the alcohol to make perfumes- by the drop. It is exquisite ;-) I also use it in the kitchen. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Be prepared to want it stronger--I've used a dozen in a pint of vodka for the extract I'm using now, and let it sit several months and I love the end result! Stronger and better than store-bought.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hey CM I had the opposite experience... had used vanila liquid all me life then went to Sweden, couldn't find it to save my life and saw this Vanilla Sugar... Say WHAT? I never really appreciated the stuff, but now I have guess What? Vanilla Sugar! ROFL! Made it last year and haven't used any yet, should go smell it and see if it's any good. Then I've got to find a use for it... hmmm. How you doing anywho?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Studies have shown that the passion aspect of vanilla applies to men. Women find other scents more passionate--probably because women associate vanilla with cooking. Joan - Jose and Diana Monday, March 13, 2006 7:37 PM Vanilla Vanilla Vanilla actually comes from an orchid, and the beans are formed in long pods. The plant is native to Mexico, and vanilla was used by the Aztecs. The primary use for vanilla is as a flavouring for cooking. Artificial vanilla is available in most grocery stores, but it is inferior in taste to the real thing. There are dozens of species of orchids in the *Vanilla* family besides *planifolia* and they all produce aromatic beans. The rich yet sweet scent of vanilla is a perfect match for any love and passion magick. And its pleasant scent makes it an excellent choice for any spells that require charm bags or other items to be carried with you. In fact, vanilla can be so potent that elaborate spells or charms can be unnecessary. Just wear a few drops of vanilla-scented perfume or straight vanilla oil when you're out. Another way to use vanilla is in your cooking (naturally). Home-made treats with vanilla will add to your love magick. “If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride, because it shows you trust in your own powers. Never bother about other people's opinions. Be humble and you will never be disturbed. Remember St. Aloysius, who said he would continue to play billiards even if he knew he was going to die. Do you play well? Sleep well? Eat well? These are duties. Nothing is small for God.” ~ Mother Theresa20th century humanitarian I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.It has removed 430 spam emails to date.Paying users do not have this message in their emails.Try SPAMfighter for free now! --Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 268.2.2/280 - Release 3/13/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hello, I'm new to the group and I'm looking for a source for a QUALITY vanilla oleoresin. I had a source, but they went out of business. Cost is not an issue. I tried two new (to me) retailers and their product was much cheaper than what I was paying. Problem is, so was their product. Can anybody help me in my search for a quality vanilla? THANK YOU, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
