The first three samples in Table XXXIV show an insoluble ash 
content only 0.01 per cent below the minimum set. Of these three, 
two have a malic acid value 0.01 per cent below the minimum; the 
other, one that is 0.03 below. This deviation is almost too slight to 
consider. Although low in malic acid values, the insoluble and 
total ash figures of the three remaining samples, with the exception 
of No. 108, approach very closely the minima set. A comparison 
with the data in Table V (page 6) indicates that, with the exception 
of the malic acid value, the analytical figures of sample 108 are 
increased if water is added and the concentration not carried too far.
