The first three samples in Table XXXIV show an insoluble ash 

 content only 0.01 per cent below the minimum set. Of these three, 

 two have a malic acid value 0.01 per cent below the minimum; the 

 other, one that is 0.03 below. This deviation is almost too slight to 

 consider. Although low in malic acid values, the insoluble and 

 total ash figures of the three remaining samples, with the exception 

 of No. 108, approach very closely the rninima set. A comparison 

 with the data in Table V (page 6) indicates that, with the exception 

 of the malic acid value, the analytical figures of sample 108 are 

 increased if water is added and the concentration not carried too far.
