CHAPTER XXV 



VARIATION OF " SOLIDS " OF A CANE SYRUP WITH DILUTION AS CALCULATED FROM 

 THE OBSERVED SOLIDS AT THE STATED DILUTION. 



THE SYRUP CONTAINED 69 -233 PER CENT. ABSOLUTE SOLIDS, 60 -44 PER CENT. 

 SUGAR, AND i -73 PER CENT. ASH. 



VARIATION OF " SOLIDS " OF A MOLASSES WITH DILUTION, AS CALCULATED FROM 

 OBSERVED SOLIDS AT THE STATED DILUTION. 



THE MOLASSES CONTAINED 76 -630 PER CENT. ABSOLUTE SOLIDS, 31 -91 PER CENT. 

 SUGAR, 16-43 PER CENT. REDUCING SUGARS, AND 11-13 PER CENT. ASH. 



Purity. By the expression " Purity " is meant the value of the expression 

 (Sugar per cent. /Solids per cent.) X 100. Depending on whether the 

 Polarization or the sucrose per cent, is used as the numerator in this ex- 

 pression, and whether the solids are absolute, gravity or refractive, six values
