Most of the spirit as well as the extract is prepared from the 

 artificial ester. The below standard extracts of wintergreen 

 (tabulated results of analyses on page 30) are mostly used for 

 the same purpose as the weak extract of peppermint. 



Orange and Lemon. 



Extract of orange (tabulated results of analyses on page 31) 

 is the flavoring extract prepared from oil of orange, or from 

 orange peel, or both, and contains not less than 5 per cent of oil 

 of orange. 



Extract of lemon (tabulated results of analyses on pages 32 

 to 34) is prepared from oil of lemon, from lemon peel, or both, 

 and contains not less than 5 per cent oil of lemon. Terpeneless 

 extract of lemon (tabulated results of analyses on page 36) is 

 the flavoring extract prepared by shaking oil of lemon with 

 dilute alcohol or by dissolving terpeneless oil of lemon in dilute 

 alcohol, and contains not less than 0.2 (two-tenths) per cent of 

 citral derived from oil of lemon. The below standard extracts 

 of lemon and the terpeneless extracts are sold as substitutes 

 for and in competition with the pure extracts. There is no 

 economy in their use. Their lessened flavoring value offsets 

 the reduction in price (if any) at which they are sold. ■ 



Vanilla. 



Extract of vanilla (tabulated results of analyses on pages 

 36 to 38) is the flavoring extract prepared from vanilla beans 

 with or without sugar or glycerine and contains in 100 parts 

 the soluble matters from not less than 10 parts of the vanilla 

 bean. Imitation vanilla flavors (tabulated results of analyses 

 on page 39) are variously compounded but for the most part 

 depend upon coumarin or vanillin, or both, for their flavor. 

 Unless purposely made weak these imitation products have a 

 strong, though not pleasant, flavor. Some people prefer the 

 flavor to the more delicate vanilla bean flavor. 



Almond. 



Extract of almond is prepared from oil of bitter almonds, 

 free from hydrocyanic acid, and contains not less than one per 

 cent of oil. Only one sample, "Baker's Pure Extract Almond" 

 made by the Baker Extract Co., Portland, Me., and Springfield, 

 Mass., was examined. The sample was passed as being in 

 accord with the requirements.
