forms, anhydrous starch sugar and hydrous starch sugar. 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, crystallized with water of crystallization, is of 

 two varieties — 70 sugar, also known as brewers' sugar, contains not less 

 than severity (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, confectioners' glucose, corn sirup, 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-one (41) to forty-five (45) 

 degrees Baume at a temperature of 100° Fahr. (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. 



C. CANDY. 



I. Candy is a product made from a saccharine substance or sub- 

 stances with or without the addition of harmless coloring, flavoring, >r

 cent of water, not more than twenty-five hundredths (0.25) per cent of 

 ash, and not more than eight (8) per cent of sucrose. 



2. Comb honey is honey contained in the cells of comb. 



3. Extracted honey is honey which has been separated from the 

 uncrushed comb by centrifugal force or gravity. 



4. Strained honey is honey removed from the crushed comb by strain-

D. Condiments (except Vinegar and Salt).
