So parrot have done following:

1, 30g of dried powdered pedro outer flesh, 7,5 g (90%)Ca(OH)2 and 90 ml(parboiled) tap water mixed for 15 minutes (seem to be little bit too much watery )
Extracted 4 hours with 90 ml of R-limonene in stainless steel container with lid, stired ocasionaly with wooden stick.

2, When strained, only 40-50 ml of limonene was recovered(french coffee press wasn`t available)
Therefore another portion of 90 ml limonene was added and stirred ocasionaly for another 4 hours, then strained.

3,Limonene extract were pooled together gave about 150 ml of clear greenish liquid.
This were extracted 3 times with 40 , 30 and 20 ml of vinegar. After evaporation about 250mg of orange-redish sticky goo which wasn`t bioassayed yet

4, In this point 100 grams of MgSO4.7H2O was baked at 250 C to obtain about 50 grams of anhydrous salt. This was cooled down a little and then added to the mixture.
After only one fifth of the epsom salt was added the mixture spat out good 20 ml of limo, but when he finished with adding epsom salt most of it soaked back in and mixture become too sticky and gooey for sucessfull extraction

5, He decide to get rid of all the water (about 90g of water) and added another 50 grams of anhydrous salt
and 90 ml of limo, after intensive stirring the mixture become sandy like.He let it sit over night (stirerd just couple of times) then stirred occasionaly for four hours
This time he used french coffee press and recovered about 70 ml of limo.

6, The volume of mixture rose very much, after adding all that epsom salt so he decide to reuse limonene and continue with extracting
Used Limonene was washed with distilled water twice, then separeted and half of it (about 60 ml) added
to the sandy mixture and stirred for 5 hours ocassionaly.

7, French pressed, filtered trough coffee filter, pooled together with 70 ml from previous step and filtered again trough coffee filter.
(Reused limo picked up significantly darker green colour)

8, Limo was extracted with 50, 30 and 20 ml of vinegar which evaporated just today and it look like another 200 mg of brown, yellow reddish sticky resin with smell resemble the one of citric acid :?: for some reason.
