Abstract
A method of extracting volatile flavor compounds from an organic material. The method includes a step of macerating the organic material in a solution containing ethanol. The ethanol is then boiled at a pressure that is less than atmospheric pressure, to produce a vapor. The vapor is then passed through a first condenser to generate a first condensate, and through a second condenser to generate a second condensate, with the second condenser operating at a lower temperature than the first condenser.

A method comprising:
- pressing fruit to produce fruit juice and fruit husks;
- separating the fruit juice from the fruit husks;
- boiling the fruit juice at less than atmospheric pressure to produce a concentrated fruit juice and a first vapor;
- passing the first vapor through at least one condenser to generate a first condensate;
- removing pectin from the concentrated fruit juice;
- macerating the fruit husks in a solution containing ethanol;
- boiling the ethanol at less than atmospheric pressure to produce a second vapor;
- passing the second vapor through at least one condenser to generate a second condensate;
- and
- combining the concentrated fruit juice, the first condensate, and the second condensate to produce a fruit juice product.
