When the compositions of these substances are given in percentages 

 it is difficult to perceive the changes in composition which may have 

 taken place during the fermentation and curing. We have there- 

 fore recalculated the results obtained on the assumption that the fat in 

 the original beans as submitted to fermentation would undergo little or 

 no change during the process ; comparison of the compositionB of the 

 portions of the fresh fruit submitted to fermentation and of the corres- 

 ponding amount of the product yielded is thus approximately obtained. 

 These are given for both varieties in the following : — 



Changes taking place in the kernel of the beans of " CalahacilW^ during 

 fermentation and curing. 



Fresh beans. Cured beans. Loss in curing.
