CONCORD GEAPE JUICE. 



25 



METHODS OF ANALYSIS. 



Solids: From the specific gravity and the alcohol content. The 

 specific gravity was obtained from the Brix reading at 17.5° C. 



Alcohol: By immersion refractometer. 



Nonsugar solids: From solids and sugars before inversion. 



Acid: Spotted into litmus solution. 



Polarizations: On solutions clarified with normal lead acetate. 



Total tartaric acid: Hartmann and Eoff method (U. S. Dept. Agr., 

 Bur. Chem. Bui. 162: 72). 



Free tartaric acid and cream of tartar: Calculated from total tartaric 

 acid and the alkalinites of the ash (U. S. Dept. Agr., Bur. Chem. 

 Bui. 162:75). 



Tannin and coloring matter: Loewenthal's method. 



ADDITIONAL DETERMINATIONS. 



In the course of the investigation a number of determinations not 

 incorporated in the tables of composition were made. These results 

 are given in Table 12.

The volatile esters were also determined on 19 samples from the 

 six different factories, and found to range between 0.12 and 0.23 

 gram per 100 cubic centimeters, with an average of 0.16 gram per 

 100 cubic centimeres.
