RESEARCH OH MASSACHUSETTS APPLES AND APPLE PRODUCTS AT M.S.C. 



An active research program concerned with Massachusetts apples 

 and apple products v/as initiated in the Food Technology Department of the 

 Massachusetts State College in 1927 and has been continued to date. 



In studies on the extraction of apple juice for the manufacture of 

 jelly it was found that Red Astrachan, Red Siberian Crab, King David, ITine- 

 sap and Mcintosh were among the more suitable varieties for apple jelly 

 manufacture. A cider apple jelly has been developed which is a distinctive 

 product of attractive color and appealing flavor, superior in quality to 

 either apple jelly or cider jelly alone.
