Artificial Fruit Essences are composed chiefly of compound ethers, which possess the odor and flavor of certain fruits. In some of the following receipts, where tartaric, oxalic, succinic or benzoic acid enters into the composition of an essence, it must be understood that these acids are not to be used in their pure state, but in the form of saturated solutions (see No. 27 (Saturation)) in cold alcohol. Glycerine will be found as an ingredient in nearly all these artificial essences; it seems to blend and harmonize the different odors.
