Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
Champaca is a shrub that is no more than ten metres high. Its cultivation is perpetuated by sowing seeds, obtained from the fruits. Any type of soil, but in a warm climate, can be used to cultivate champaca.
Cultivation is generally done in summer, until early fall. Once harvested, the fresh flowers are extracted using a first volatile solvent such as hexane. This first extraction, which lasts a few hours under heat, gives leads to a concrete of champaca, with a waxy texture, after removing the flowers from the extractor and evaporating the extraction solvent. A second extraction is necessary in alcohol, a solvent in which the waxes of the concrete are not soluble. By a chilling process, consisting in gradually cooling this mixture, the waxes are precipitated, filtered and the solvent is evaporated, to recover only the absolute of the champaca flower.
The leaves of champaca, distilled in Java, its island of origin, have a strong basil smell.
