Saving old Spice

[acolon_5]

I'm about to move and in the process of packing I found a jar with a few grams of spice in it. It has turned quite yellow and has an extremely potent smell to it. It's probably 4-5 months old.

I was hoping to be able to save it. I have heard in the past about people doing another A/B on old spice and having a good product in the end. Has anyone tried this with success? Would this chemically make sense?

sure would. you could do it on a small scale just to clean up from any impurities that could have formed over time.

i think i would redissolve everything on naphtha and then freez/precip , then redissolve everything again and leave it to evap.
that's me anyway

it has been suggested that dmt oxide is even more potent... dont know how true that claim is..

Why not trying smoking it and see how it goes? as said in another thread, SWIM already smoked year old spice that was perfect...

and if you still want it back to white, just recrystalize it, that should be enough, no need to fuss with a/b...

well if neutral degradation compounds were formed they would not be extracted in a second A/B but yea recrystallizing would be easier.
