REMARKS  m  FLAVORING  EXTRACTS'. 
Let  the  lemon  rind  be  exposed  to  the  air  until  it  is  partially 
dried  so  as  to  be  less  aqueous — then  add  it  to  the  alcohol,  and 
after  the  color  is  extracted  add  the  oil.  If  the  latter  does  not 
form  a  clear  solution  at  once,  let  it  stand  a  daj  or  two  and  filter 
when  transparent. 
Ordinary  (80  per  ct.)  alcohol  is  not  sufficiently  concentrated 
for  this  use,  but  Atwood's  pure  alcohol  has  been  found  well 
adapted  for  the  purpose,  as  being  stronger  than  ordinary  deodo- 
rised alcohol. 
Extract  of  Orange, 
Take  of  the  Outer  rind  of  sweet  oranges      2  oz. 
Alcohol  95°  1  pint 
Secently  opened  oil  of  orange  2  fluid  oz. 
Proceed  as  in  the  recipe  for  extract  of  lemons. 
Much  of  the  oil  of  orange  sold  is  wholly  unfit  for  this  us© — 
as  it  is,  even  when  not  adulterated,  so  prone  to  oxidation  and 
loss  of  fragrance  by  exposure,  that  it  soon  becomes  unfit  for  use* 
This  oil  should  be  at  once  introduced  into  bottles  from  the 
original  can  and  sealed.
