4. Maple simp is sirup made by the evaporation of maple sap 

 or by the sohition of maple concrete. 



5. Sugar sirup is sirup made by dissolving sugar to the con- 

 sistence of a sirup. 



b. GLUCOSE PRODUCTS. 



1. Starcli sugar is the solid product made by hydrolyzing 

 starch or a starch-containing substance until the greater part of 

 the starch is converted into dextrose. Starch sugar appears in 

 commerce in two forms, anhydrous and hydrous. The former, 

 crystallized without water of crystallization, contains not less 

 than ninety-five (95) per cent of dextrose and not more than 

 eight-tenths (0.8) per cent of ash. The latter, cr\-stallized with 

 water of crystallization, is of two varieties — 70 sugar, also 

 known as brewers" sugar, contains not less than seventy (70) 

 per cent of dextrose and not more than eight-tenths (0.8) per 

 cent of ash ; 80 sugar, climax or acme sugar, contains not less 

 than eighty (80) per cent of dextrose and not more than one 

 and one-half (1.5) per cent of ash. 



The ash of all these products consists almost entirely of 

 chlorids and sulphates. 



2. Glucose, mixing glucose, or confectioner's glucose is a 

 thick, sirupy, colorless product made by incompletely hydrolyzing 

 starch, or a starch-containing substance, and decolorizing and 

 evaporating the product. It varies in density from forty-ont 

 (41) to forty-five (45) degrees Baume at a temperature of one 

 hundred (100) degrees F. (37.7'' C), and conforms in density, 

 within these limits, to the degree Baume it is claimed to show, 

 and for a density of forty-one (41) degrees Baume contains not 

 more than twenty-one (21) per cent and for a density of forty- 

 five (45) degrees not more than fourteen (14) per cent of water. 

 It contains on a basis of forty-one (41) degrees Baume not more 

 than one ( i ) per cent of ash, consisting chiefly of chlorids and 

 sulphates. 



3. Glucose sirup or corn sirup is glucose unmixed or mixed 

 with sirup, molasses, or refiners' sirup and contains not more 

 than twenty-five (25) per cent of water and not more than three 

 (3) per cent of ash.
