New Pear-flavouring
The new Pear-flavouring is derived from an alcoholic solution of pure acetate of amyloxide, considerable quantities of which are manufactured by some distillers, and sold to confectioners, who employ it chiefly in making Pear-drops, which are merely barley-sugar, flavoured with this oil. There is, also, an Apple-oil, which, according to analysis, is nothing but valerianate of amyloxide.
