Abstract: Described is a method of chemically increasing the amount of extractable cedarwood oil from Juniperus Mexicana (commonly known as "Texas cedarwood") by treating standing living Juniperus Mexicana with a solution comprising a bipyridylium salt and permitting said trees to continue to grow in their natural environment for a period of time of at least two months. Portions of the trees are then cut and the cedarwood oil is extracted therefrom using unit operations including, but not limited to, steam distillation, in relatively large yields.

Abstract: Described is a method for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of a raspberry flavored foodstuff or chewing gum comprising the step of intimately admixing with said foodstuff or chewing gum from 0.02 parts per million up to about 300 parts per million based on total composition of a mixture of compounds prepared according to the process consisting essentially of the steps of:1. reacting alpha pinene with an equimolar mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen at a pressure of 4,000 psig and a temperature in the range of 200.degree.-220.degree. C. whereby a mixture of aldehydes is formed;2. distilling the mixture of aldehydes at a vapor temperature in the range of from 85.degree. C. up to 93.degree. C. and a pressure of from 3 mm/Hg. up to 4 mm/Hg., thereby recovering a mixture of aldehydes;3. reacting the resulting mixture of aldehydes with methyl ethyl ketone at a temperature of about 45.degree. C. thereby forming a mixture of ketones; and4.
