Blog updates
I had been asked earlier this year to compile my writings about CO2 extracts, so late in April we started a series of blog articles.
- The first two are about the CO2 Lipids – fixed oils. and more on Lipids.
- The first of a series on the CO2 aromatics, mostly Select extraction and similar to essential oils.
- Took a break to write about an emergency query that we keep getting. Common sense and Canines.
- Back to the CO2 Aromatics Chamomile through Cumin.
- May’s first blog was part 3 of the CO2 aromatics series.
Please note, this is an ongoing series. Our goal is to publish a new post each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That’s the goal, I expect sometimes reality may intervene. You may keep up with the series here. New posts are always announced on our Facebook page, and in our Twitter feed.

Aromatic quote of the Month – for the May Flowers:
“And because the breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air (where it comes and goes, like the warbling of music) than in the hand, therefore nothing is more fit for that delight than to know what be the flowers and plants that do best perfume the air.”
F. Bacon
Have a marvelous May everyone!
