The First Time - Labdanum concrete – Labdanum absolute (Real)

Labdanum from Cistus Creticus is resin (Real).
Method working: Solvent extraction.
Method steps : two.
Product: Labdanum concrete – Labdanum absolute.

The first step:
Α solvent such as hexane or supercritical carbon dioxide is used to extract the oils. Extracts from hexane and other hydrophobic solvent are called concretes, which is a mixture of essential oil, waxes, resins, and other lipophilic (oil soluble) plant material.

The second step:
Prep for all highly fragrant, concretes contain large quantities of non-fragrant waxes and resins. As such another solvent, often ethyl alcohol, which only dissolves the fragrant low-molecular weight compounds, is used to extract the fragrant oil from the concrete. The alcohol is removed by a second distillation, leaving behind the absolute.
