The product obtained by extracting ginger with ether is designated 
Piperoide du Gingembre. It is directed to be prepared by extracting in a 
percolator 4 ounces of ginger with 6 ounces of ether, the rate of flow being 
so regulated that the operation will consume not less than 2 hours. It is 
stated that 5 scruples of piperoide were obtained in this manner, and that 
6 scruples can be obtained if the residual ether is forced out by subse¬ 
quent percolation with alcohol (40°). The piperoide is reported to be 
soluble in ether, anhydrous alcohol and oils.
