TABLK XI. Showing analyses of juices before and oft(r treatment ly Kleeman n process. 



Average increase in coefficient of purity equals 2.14. 



Iii the preceding table column A represents raw juices, column B 

 juices treated by Kleemann process. Beferring to the table we find the 

 average increase in the coefficient of purity by the ordinary process to 

 be 1.24. Table XI shows an increase of 2.14 by the Kleemann process. 

 This large increase in the purity of the juice would give a decided in- 

 crease in the yield of sugars. 



THE ALBUMINOIDS. 



The reduction in the percentage of albuminoids was not as large as 

 by the ordinary process. By the Kleemann process an average of 35.17 

 per cent, of the albuminoids were removed ; by the ordinary process the 

 reduction was nearly 45 per cent. I do not know to what extent this 

 difference in the albuminoids would affect the working of the sirup. 

 The sugarmaker reported that the sirup made by the Kleemann process 

 in this test worked as easily as by the ordinary.
