Freeze Esterification Purification Tek
    #6459790 - 01/14/07 06:49 PM (17 years, 4 months ago)

Here is a current Tek I have known for the past 2 years. So far as I know it is fairly original...

1. Fresh mushrooms (collected or grown) are dried and pulverised.
2. The powder is extracted with high concentration methanol. Many washings may be required.
3. The extract is evaporated in a shallow dish, using a fan and gentle warmth. Extract is scraped/collected.
4. Teaspoon of Asorbic Acid (Vitamin C) powder is added to a bottle of vodka(preferably high proof) and dissolved.
5. Mushroom extract is dissolved in vodka - a little warmth helps.
6. Vodka is placed in freezer.
7. Remove bottle every couple of weeks - a precipitate will have formed in the bottle which contain the products of the chemical reaction between the fats in the mushroom extract and the ascorbic acid (esters). Filter cold or allow the bottle to stand at room temperature for a day before filtering with a coffee filter paper and returning to the freezer. (Some psilocybin will be precipitated in cold solution, hence the advice to filter at room temperature.)
8. Repeat intermittently until precipitate stops forming.
9. Voila! A mushroom tincture with minimal taste of shrooms - could be evaporated to produce a purer extract.

I dont see why this procedure could not be used for defatting an alcoholic extract. All it takes is a little patience. It may also apply to other extractions where defatting is a key step - Esters are less soluble in water than salts. Additionally, ascorbic acid may hinder the degradation of psilocybin/psilocin, which is naturally more stable in tincture form.

Good stuff! Esterfication will be pretty slow though.
