Pls input...

rris butter, or orris concrete, is obtained by steam distillation of dried ground rhizomes with yields ranging between 0.2 and 0.3%. Special techniques and prolonged distillation are required. The physical–chemical constants vary, depending on the origin of the rhizomes. The concrete has a violet-like fragrance. Orris Absolute: Orris absolute is obtained by alcoholic extraction of the concrete to separate the fatty acids and their esters. It may contain from 55 to 85% ketones (irone). Orris Resinoid: The resinoid is prepared by extracting the comminuted rhizomes with yields of 2.4 to 3.3% using benzene, or 1 to 2% using petroleum ether. An absolute can be prepared from the resinoid; this contains 62 to 78% ketones (irone).
