Most fruits, like other classes of foods, 
contain more or less material, such as 
pits, skin, etc., which is inedible. When 
such portions are removed a larger or 
smaller part of the edible material is 
almost always of necessity removed also, 
and is spoken of as “waste.” In re- 
porting analyses the amounts of inedible 
material and waste are grouped together 
under the heading “refuse.” As may be 
seen from the above table, the proportion 
of refuse in fruits varies within rather 
wide limits. Thus, of pears it constitutes 
on an average 10 per cent of the total 
b Buropean analysis. 
fruit, peaches 18 per cent, apples and 
grapes 25 per cent, and bananas 35 per 
cent, while in the case of raspberries 
and blackberries there is no refuse and 
the whole fruit can be eaten. 
The analytical data quoted above show 
that fresh fruits are in general dilute 
foods—~that is, the proportion of water 
which they contain is large, compared 
with the total amount of nutritive ma- . 
terial. It has been suggested that fruits 
containing 80 per cent or more of water 
be classed as flavor fruits and those with 
less than 80 per cent as food fruits. As
