Dielectric Constant Modulation of Mixed Solvents
Varying the ethanol-to-water ratio tunes solvent polarity, selectively dissolving essential oils and resins without coagulating mucilage.
High-Proof (70-90% ABV) Menstruums for Resinous Barks
Resinous barks like myrrh and propolis require high ethanol fractions to prevent instantaneous milky precipitation.
Low-Proof (25-40% ABV) for Water-Soluble Glycosides
Roots containing water-soluble bitter glycosides and tannins extract cleanly in mild low-proof grain spirits.
