FRUITS AND FRUIT PRODUCTS. 



BRANDIED FRUITS. 



The brandied goods, aside from their content of brandy, are very 

 similar to the canned fruits. While a number of samples were found 

 upon the market, it is probable that the demand for this class of goods 

 is not large. Seven samples were examined, of which five were imported. 

 No adulterants were detected in any of these samples. Three were 

 put up without the addition of cane sugar. The others contained 

 amounts varying from 5.84 per cent to 21.20 per cent. Alcohol was 

 determined on four of the samples, and was present in sufficient 

 amount to prevent any fermentation.
