POUND LARDS AND LARD SUBSTITUTES— Continued. 



Imitation lemon extract is a flavoring product made from citral or 

 other substitutes for lemon oil, and contains little or no lemon oil. 



Eighty-one samples were examined, 45 of which proved to be stand- 

 ard lemon extracts, properly branded. The other 36 samples were 

 compound extracts, imitation extracts, or extracts below standard, 20 

 of which were adulterated or misbranded and were sold in violation of 

 the law. 



These substitutes for lemon extract are usually of very little value as 

 flavoring materials, but if properly labeled or branded just what they are, 

 their sale is legal. Consumers would do well, however, to observe the 

 label and demand the real extract, as it is worth far more than the 

 difference in the price between the substitute and the real extract. 



See results in table below.
