I would be interested in a capsaicin extraction, just for novelty's sake. Maybe chop and dry some habaneros, soak in ethanol or even something like IPA or DCM. I imagine you could evaporate the latter two solvents and re-dissolve your impure capsaicin goo in a more edible solvent. D-Limonene is chemically similar to xylene and is nontoxic, but it would likely impart a bitter flavor to the extract. Doubt it would be noticeable though, since this stuff would certainly be active by the drop.
Tim honestly
Just buy capsaicin extract- it isn't hard to come by
I thought you were a scientist.
Why do you hate fun
Because I don't want you to die after eating hot sauce still tainted with Di chloro methane
I was just musing, it's not like I have what, to the untrained eye, would appear to be a meth lab in this trailer full of solvents and hanging bundles of chilies.
hahaha
I mean yeah that is what would happen, extraction wise. But I don't know that you could get a solid out of it- you would probably have to do some nasty stuff to it for it to solidify- I think the melting point of capsaicin is way lower than room temperature
Apparently it's very soluble in ethanol. I imagine you could take the impure extract, dissolve it in a minimal amount of ethanol, and add cold water until it starts to precipitate capsaicin and probably a few other compounds.
I don't know that capsaicin would remain a solid though; what is the melting point?
One of the people on my friends list (a friend's girlfriend) is ridiculously dumb.
For those who haven't seen it- Save The Words is a pretty brilliant way for these dudes to make a few bucks, while being snobby
FYI, the ‘adopt a word’ thing is a hoax. A brilliant, well thought out one, but a hoax nonetheless. Every single word on there is made up.
I have to admit, it is a genius plan. You sign up to “adopt” a word from the English language that has [supposedly] fallen out of use, you promise to start using it as much as you can, and the first thing that pops up asks if you would like to buy a t-shirt that has your adopted word on it.
I wonder how much money these people have scammed from innocent people thinking that they’re saving the English language. Whoever made this website has just tricked thousands of people to start using completely made-up words in every day language.
Sort of genius. Sort of a douchebag thing to do. Just wish I had thought of it first…
Yes it is a kind of douchey thing to do...but then read the bolded again.
Listen bitch, just because you haven't heard of the word before doesn't mean it is made up! You actually just proved their point for them!

it is tuned in drop d so yeah
Ohhh god...

Good luck!
I'm holding you and Quid responsible. And there will be revenge.
nope sorry
with the weird infusion of club hip-hop and open misogyny brokencyde is still worse than this
all you linked to was some talentless screamo with a really mundane music video
that brokencyde video has two dudes grabbing a club skank by the throat and screaming LIAR at her while she does stupid club faces
can't even touch the awful there, man
yeah you could precipitate it out I guess
you're probably about to get fired
What a phlyarologist.
Presently, I am one of those people by proxy.
