To produce or cause the characteristic burnt smell or taste of charred matter; to subject to processes that create empyreumatic compounds.
Formed from 'empyreuma' with the verb suffix '-ize,' creating an active verb meaning to impart empyreumatic properties through chemical or thermal processes.
In early chemistry, 'empyreumatize' represented a problem to solve—distillers who wanted pure spirits had to prevent their materials from empyreumatizing, making it a process chemists actively worked to understand and avoid.
