Purified honey

Isobutylene Glycol and a-Hydroxybutyric Acid.37 To 16.3 g. of a-hydroxyisobutyraldehyde is added dropwise 40 cc. of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide. The resulting solution is warmed on the water bath to complete the reaction, cooled, and extracted with ether. Bemoval of the ether leaves the glycol as a honey-colored oil which is purified by distillation (b.p. 177-179°). 

Beeswax, Yellow, occurs as a yellow to gray-brown solid with an agreeable, honey odor. It is the purified wax from the honeycomb of the bee Apis mellifera L. (Fam. Apidae) and consists primarily of myricyl palmitate (myricin), cerotic acid and ester, and some high-carbon paraffins. It is somewhat brittle when cold, and presents a dull, granular, noncrystalline fracture when broken. It becomes pliable at a temperature of about 35°. Its specific gravity is about 0.95. Beeswax, Yellow, is insoluble in water and sparingly soluble in cold alcohol. Boiling alcohol dissolves cerotic acid and part of the myricin. It is completely soluble in chloroform, in ether, and in fixed and volatile oils. It is partly soluble in cold carbon disulfide and completely soluble in it at temperatures of 30° or above. 

An excellent source of this water is the so-called Phlegm from distilling and rectifying the alcohol. This phlegm is obtained by continuing the distillation (after removal of the alcohol) of our fermentation liquid down to the thickened honey-like residue from which we obtain the Salt of Sulfur. The water that distills over is called the Phlegm and it is held to be the best solvent for purifying the salts of the body it was derived from so keep it aside until needed. 

Vegetables, animals, and minerals with the help of any burning spirit, not only that of wine, but of com, honey, fruits, leaves or grass, may be most highly purified and reduced to the highest medicines. 

Sweet substances are the most desirable taste for humans, who have enjoyed them in fruits and honey since ancient times. It is believed that the derivation of sugar from sugarcane and sugar beet is a fairly recent practice and was started only 500—600 years ago. Initially, purified sugar was very expensive and could be enjoyed only...

Egyptian Ointment. A detergent application for foul ulcers, Ac. Mix by heat and agitation, 10 parts verdigris, 1 part calcined alum, 14 parts strong vinegar, and 32 parts thick purified honey. 

Acute toxicity tests with 10-day-old adult honey bees fed sugar solution containing a chitinase purified from tomato (11 j.g per bee) showed that this transgene product had no significant impact on bee survival after 24 or 48 hours [68]. Bees injected with 1.69 jig of chitinase were similarly unaffected.
