THE CUBA REVIEW 



There are also in use in this country quantities of table sirups which are simple mixtures, the 

 chief ingredient of which is commercial glucose, and the flavor of which comes very largely 

 from some of the sirups and molasses mentioned above. In certain of these mixtures, which 

 owe their flavor and color to "refining sirup," a by-product of the sugar refiner}^ the content of 

 soluble salts is large enough to impart a distinct saline flavor. The bone black used in purifying 

 the sugar also affects the flavor of "refining sirup." .'•'ince the Federal pure-food law was 

 enacted such mixtures bear a label showing the constituents. 



Sugar-beet molasses is not used for table purposes, as no way has been found to free it 

 commercially from objectionable impurities.
