Absolutes are also
natural essences. They are usually essences of flowers which are too delicate
to be extracted by steam distillation. Absolutes have the fragrance which
resembles the essence of the flower more closely than the essential oil since
some components of the essential oil are artefacts of the extraction process.
The preparation of
the absolute is a two stage process. Stage one involves extraction of the plant
material using pure hexane. This produces a thick oily, way fragrant product
called a ‘Concrete’. The Concrete is then mixed with Ethanol and after thorough
mixing it is filtered to remove the insoluble waxes. The ethanol is removed
from the essence by distillation under reduced pressure. The essence left
behind is called an Absolute.
