Hi Nick & All, Jan 31, 2015
I also, about 1959, did the obvious; simered about 5L of berries in =
8L of water+berries and got a yield of nice odor and almost no wax.=20
Because partitioning the agreeable odor is the objective I would try =
a different approach entirely it I were to attempt this again.=20
The melting point of Bayberry wax is fairly low; 42-48oC (Place & =
Stiles, Auk paper) So a logical first step would be to feed berries =
slowly into a rotating inclined screen cylinder in an enclosure that was =
heated to about 65oC and wick wax from the zone of melting with a fixed =
wiper blade. Wax isolated in this way might be clean enough for some =
purposes. If too dirty then the isolated wax could be distilled into =
melted paraffin wax.

that's super, Margaret. We tried a few years ago, got discouraged =
because we didnt really trust the process. Will try again. Any tips?
I have often seen bayberry in mink scats in the fall.
