Alcohol Based Perfumes
Alcohol-based perfumes, the prevalent fragrance type, primarily utilize ethanol as their solvent. This alcohol efficiently dissolves the fragrant oils, ensuring an even and impactful scent diffusion upon application. Occasionally, denatured alcohol, such as isopropyl alcohol-treated ethanol, is incorporated to enhance the formula’s efficacy. The use of alcohol in perfumery is a time-honored practice, with roots […]
Distillation Process
The distillation process is a crucial step in extracting organic ethanol after fermentation. The fermented mixture, often called “beer” or “wash,” contains ethanol, water, and other byproducts. Since ethanol has a lower boiling point (78.37 °C) than water (100 °C), distillation leverages this difference for separation. The process involves heating the fermented liquid, causing the […]
