 From the foregoing it appears that only 46 -8 per cent of these samples of ground 
 spices were genuine, the remainder being doubtful or adulterated. 
 
 A memorandum by Mr. kcGill, expUining the method adopted by him in examin- 
 ing the ground gingers is atWihed to this report. 
 
 I have the honour to be, sir.

 Ottawa, December 1, 1903. 
 
 Method of working on ground giiiger. 
 
 Tlie adulteration of ginger usually consists either in the addition of foreign matter 
 (flour, sUrches, etc.,) or in the use of exhausted rhizomes, i.e. ginger from which the 
 valuable principles have been more or less washed out. 
 
 The detection of foreign matter is made by means of the microscope ; but the 
 residue left after water extraction (as below) is better suited to the uses of the micro- 
 Hcopist than in the raw sample. 
 
 The detection of exhausted ginger naturally depends upon a knowledge of the ex- 
 tracted matter yielded by the sample and a comparison of this with the normal extrac- 
 tive which genuine ginger yields on similar treatment. 
 
 Since the commercial extraction of ginger i.i nade with cold water, this is the 
 pi-oper solvent to use in the laboratory. 
 
 Bulletin 48, (May, 1897), p. 13— records the result of four cold water extractions of 
 genuine ginger by Mr. Babington. These gave a maximum of 16 • 7 and a minimum of 
 12-3 per .cent.; » th a mean of 14 7 per cent calculated on the dry material. In the 
 extraction of ginger by cold water, much will naturally depend upon the method of 
 carrying out the operation. Unfortunately Mr. Babington has not recorded the method 
 employed by hiiii. I am convinced that the numbers obtained would have been con- 
 siderably higher, and possibly more constant for genuine ginger, had mechanical agita- 
 tion been used in treating with the solvent. The advanUges of mechanical agitation 
 are sufficiently apparent : the increased eflfectiveness, and the fact that given conditions 
 can be exactly duplicated, are the most important. I have worketl as follows :— 
 
 Moisture.— Five grammes of the sample is exposed on a watch glass to a tempera- 
 *"^ 90-100 in the water-oven, until constant weight is obtained. When an 
 ordinary drying oven is used this may refiuire 10 to 12 hours or more. With my oven, 
 using a forced draught, 2 to 3 hours is sufficient. 
 
 Cold Water £.> tractive.— The dry sample is transferred by means of a dry funnel 
 to the centrifuge tube— of about 150 cc. capacity— and treated with 100 cc. of water 
 The tubes are stoppered and plac-ed in the mechanical shaker (having horizontal motion) 
 for 30 minutes. They are then whirled for 10 minutes, when the insoluble matter be- 
 comes compacte<l tightly in the bottom of the tube and the clear supernatant liquid 
 filters readily. The filtration is made by a weighed filter paper, whose dry weight is 
 known. Ihe undissolved residue is treated a .second time with 100 cc. of cold water in 
 the shaker, again whirled, and the clear liquid poured through the filter. Finally, the 
 residue is washed on to the filter using abr^ut 100 cc. water. (The exact amount is im- 
 material, since only negligible traces of soluble matter remain in this residue.) 
 
 W'here a centrifuge is not available the filtration is very tedious, and sometimes 
 iinp()8sible. It may be necessarj-, in this case, to use two or more filters, or to work on 
 smaller amounts of the sample. In either case the liability to error is much increased. 
 
 The filters, with their contents, may be allowed to stand at the ordinary tempera- 
 ture over night ; or they may be at once transferreil to a drying oven, kept below 60° 
 C--having a forced draught. In this case there is no danger of gelatinizing the starch, 
 and the drying may be completefl in a few houi-s. When approximately dry, the tem- 
 perature of the oven may be raised to 90«— 9.5° and the drying completed at this tem-

 perature. Tlie filters with their contento are then weighed (between watch glasses) the 
 more or less lumpy mass carefully transferred to a small morUr, ground up, returned to 
 the filter, and again dried for an hour or two. The second weighing should not mater- 
 ially differ from the first, and gives the dry, insoluble matter. 
 
 In order to show haw constant is the extractive matter so obtained, I quote the 
 following work done on four samples. The second estimation was made after an inter- 
 val of three weeks during which the samples had stood on the heating coils of the labor- 
 atory. It will be seen that, by this treatment, they had lost about one-third of their 
 natural hygroscopic moisture.

 It should be noted that 17957 (a) is the result of extraction with only 100 cc. of 
 water ; the other extractions represent two treatments with water. 
 
 When a sample of ginger is treated with water, as described, the re-dried sample 
 always has a distinctly darker colour tlian the original. Duplicates which have been 
 similarly treated, yield residues, leaving exactly the same colour. Whether or not it 
 would be safe to infer that a dark coloured sample of ginger had undergone washing and 
 drying, would require larger experience than I have had. But I think it safe to regard 
 dark coloured samples with suspicion ; and to insist upon their yielding a normal per- 
 centage of extractive matter to cold water. 
 
 In the accompanying Uble it will be noted that the first six samples have a good 
 colour, and with the exception of No. 5, which contains about CO per cent of wheat flour 
 —yield an extractive of at least 19 per cent of their dry weight The mean extractive 
 for samples 1 to 6 (omitting No. 6) is 197 per cent, the extremes being 18-7 and 21-4 
 per cent. 
 
 Since the remaining samples yield a decidedly lower extractive, under similar treat- 
 ment, there can be little doubt that they represent ginger . Sizomes which have been 
 more or less exhausted with water before grinding ; or ai. :. fixture of ginger which 
 has been fully exhausted and re^iried. This would account for the decidedly darker 
 colour of these samples. 
 
 If these samples represent a natural and unadulterated ginger, of a lower grade 
 than that represented by the other samples, we should have evidence of the fact in our 
 possession. I have not met an authenticated sample of ginger whic^ gave less than 
 about 19 per cent of extractive to cold water, when treated as above described.
