    The ouzo effect during the preparation of absinthe. The ouzo effect (/ ˈ uː z oʊ / OO-zoh), also known as the louche effect (/ l uː ʃ / LOOSH) and spontaneous emulsification, is the phenomenon of formation of a milky oil-in-water emulsion when water is added to ouzo and other anise-flavored liqueurs and spirits, such as pastis, rakı, arak, sambuca and absinthe.

  4. Organosolv - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organosolv

    In industrial paper-making processes, organosolv is a pulping technique that uses an organic solvent to solubilise lignin and hemicellulose. It has been considered in the context of both pulp and paper manufacture and biorefining for subsequent conversion of cellulose to fuel ethanol.

  5. Distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distillation

    Distillation, also classical distillation, is the process of separating the component substances of a liquid mixture of two or more chemically discrete substances; the separation process is realized by way of the selective boiling of the mixture and the condensation of the vapors in a still.

  6. Thujone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thujone

    Thujone (/ ˈ θ uː dʒ oʊ n / ⓘ [2]) is a ketone and a monoterpene that occurs predominantly in two diastereomeric forms: (−)-α-thujone and (+)-β-thujone. [3] [4]Though it is best known as a chemical compound in the spirit absinthe, it is only present in trace amounts and is unlikely to be responsible for the spirit's purported stimulant and psychoactive effects.

  7. Reflux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflux

    For high quality neutral spirits (such as vodka), or post distillation flavored spirits (gin, absinthe), a process of multiple distillations or charcoal filtering may be applied to obtain a product lacking in any suggestion of its original source material for fermentation. The geometry of the still also plays a role in determining how much ...

  8. Pastis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastis

    Pastis was created years following the prohibition of absinthe, and traditionally does not contain grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), the herb from which absinthe derives its name. Also, pastis far more commonly obtains its anise flavour from star anise , [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] an Asian spice, whereas absinthe traditionally obtains its base ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCabe–Thiele_method

    For the binary distillation depicted in Figure 1, the required number of theoretical plates is 6. Constructing a McCabe–Thiele diagram is not always straightforward. In continuous distillation with a varying reflux ratio, the mole fraction of the lighter component in the top part of the distillation column will decrease as the reflux ratio ...
