Shotis (middlings) are legally defined as feeds having a minimum protein content of 15 per cent, a minimum fat content of 4 per cent, and a maximum fibre content of 8 per cent. An article frequently sold as special shorts, or choice shorts, and usually command- ing a hipher price than legal shorts", on account of its lighter colour, and its flour-like appearance, usually fails to meet the above standard; and when sold as shorts may be judged as adulterated under the Act. (See Bulletin No. 350.) The article referred to is deficient in fat. Of 125 samplw reported in Bulletin No. 350, seventy samples contained less than 3 per pent of fat, while short* i« roriuired to contain at least 4 per cent. It is also, as a rule, low in protein. Of the 125 samples just referred to, forty-two samples contained lees than 15 per cent of protein. On the other hand, the fibre content of this article is generally much below the limit of 8 per cent allowed in shorts. The only legal way of mariceting this feed is to register it. and to fumi^h a guarantee as ilcscribed in the Fei.'ds Act.

The information furnished herewith will assist your Advisory Board in defining soda fountain syrups; and I would respectfully recommend publication of this report as Tiulletin No. S90. I have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, A. McGILL, Chief Analyst. December 14, 1917. hr. A. McOiLL, Chief Analyst. Dkar Sih— I besf leave to submit the following ivport on the examination of 141 - .miile* of fruit jiiicpB or syrups for soda fountains as used throughout the Dominion. There is no specific definition for this class of product* given in the A iulteratiun Alt, though in O. 947 (February 11, 1»11), are the following:— 1. Fresh Fmit Jitires.—t. "Fresh fruit juices are the clean, unfcrmented liquid I roiliift* obtained by the first pressing of fresh, ripe fruit, and correspond in name t.i th< fruits from which they are obtained, and contain not more than two (2) per lent of alcohol by volume." 4. Sweet Fruit Ju\ee». Sweetened Fruit Juieet, Fruit Syrups.— \. " Sweet fruit j'liccs, sweetened fruit juices, fruit syrups are tiio products obtained by adding sugar iMicrose) to fresh fruit juices, and correspond in name to tho fruits from which they iiii> derived." It is worthy of note that in neither of the nbove definitions is there any mention t synthetic fruit synips, i.e., syrups m:ido from synthetically prepared eaters and 1 -ills imitating those found in the natural fruit, nor of the addition of preservative* :iml iiriiticial colouring matter. Since, as I have stated above, there are no specific standards set for fruit syrup* ih loaded for fountain use, it is important that deviations from the existing standards li' examined to determine whether or not they should be classed as adulterations. Of course syrups contiilniiw substantts harmful to health will not be considered under tills head: there is absolutely no doubt or question as to their adulteration, on other i:i'uii(l9 than that they are a menace to the health of the public. Synlhetic Fruit Syrups. — The use of synthetic, or manufactured preparations f"!- flavouring purposes, sui-h a» methyl salicylate for oil of wintergreen, vanillin or I 'iiMiiirin for vanilla oxtrnct, ethyl butyrate for pineapple, etc., is quite common. They .To clienper and easier to prepare than the natural extracts, hence bring the manu- f.irturer larger profit.** if they can be sold at approximately the same price charged 1 •!■ extracts. These preparations are inferior to the natural extracts, since the latter "«(■ their delicate flavour to resins and traces of other esters besides the principal one; 'Jio former nre practically nothing but an alcoholic solution of the principal ester. Tlio ri'siilt is that, while the preparation may be stronger (in the sense that less is li'liiirod to produce the flavour), the natural extract is the more pleasing to the tn^to. To protect the public and yet permit the sale of synthetic preparations, an "nlor in Council (G. 1276, April 7, 1917) require* the synthetic preparations to be lilu'leJ "Imitation" or "Artificial" in letters as large as the rest of the label. The problem of protection is somewhat different in the present case, since Uie I iilio purchnses fountain flavours only in mixtures. It is, of -JO'irse, possible and '!' irable that manufacturers of syrups bo required to conform to a regulation liiilar to that cited qbove, but this would protect ttio vendors only. In order to ; I'.iiH't the general public, I would recommend a requirement that fountain drinks or I '1 !Mrations flavoured with synthetic flavours be sold over the counter as "mock" -■•awberry, "mock" pineapple, etc., as the case may be, and that they be so listed or '!i -'-ribed on the printed menus. Preservatives. — There is no strong objection to the use of the permitted preaerva- ' ''s (G. 1111, April 15, 1914) in this class of fruit syrups. The syrup is so diluted wh.-n Hold to thp oonsunuT that none of tho linUxi prowrvatiTCi would be harmful, •v.n tliough prim-nt in «M)nicwh«t larRt-r qimntitii>» than i)crmittod.

Tho Department hiH, tli..ref..r.-," eertittoii in O. 1167. .lanuary 1*<, 1»15. seven uiiulino dyes for use in eolour- iuK of food.-, as follows; Amaranth hf>, Ponceau Mi 50. Erythrosiu 517, Orange l"... \apthol Yellow St, Light Orcen HTiM. Indi^:o (Jarmine tWCi. and in (I. 1278. April 21. li»n, Tartra/inc 94. The numbers refer to tlie classitioalion by Schulz and Julius, as tnlilod by Arthur (I. (Jreen. Among these eight certified colours arc found tho three primary colours (r.-l, blue and yellow) a.- well as the eoniplementaries, orange and green. They are sufficient, therefore, to satisfy every demand. sin.'C I'ombiuiiw two or more of tli.-m practicaUv any I'ol.uir or shade may bo produced. The Uuited States has but favo ceitilicd colours: Amaranth 107. Pon.'cau 3K 50. Orange 1-S5. Tartraziiio 94. and Indigo Carmine 092. The National Aniline and Chemical Company, Inc., -ot New York, has combined the?.< so as to produce fifteen shades and colours besides llie oiiL'inal certified fiv.% which they sell under suc-h trade names as "Strawberry Krd. •* Deep Chocolate." " Yellow Colour. Egg Shade," etc. They havo kmdly furnished us with samples of all their certified colours lor food products ond confectionery. Invest igation of thc-se samples has demonstrated tho fact that manufacturers of fru.t synips have here every colour and shade of tho natural fruit, so have no excuse for the iHo of any but certified colours. Aa will be shown later, the majority of samples of fruit syrups examin.d were found coloured with certified dyes, a fact much to the credit of the manufacturers as this is the first examination of this class of fruit syrups, as well as tho first investigation of dye- used to colour food products in tins laboratory. The method used for the detection and identification of the dyp la outlined in tho Journal of the Association of Offi.'ial Airricultural Chemists (J.A.O.A.C, 2, 101). \ piece of white woollen yarn is boiled for about fifteen minutes in the solution to be tested to which a few drops of hydrochloric acid have been added. It il then removed, washed well with water and dried. If an aniline dye is present in the solution, the wool will be fast dyed. When dry it is c-.t into four pieces, which are treated with concentrated hvdrochloric and sulphuric acids, and dilute solutions of sodium :ud ammonium hydroxides. The colour reactions arc noted and by means of a table of these reactions the dye is identified. This Identification can be regarded aa only appwximate, as the method is rather crude, some of the reactions as given in the table being questionable. For example Amaranth 107. according to the table, gives reactions which we could not duplicate with samples of the pure dya To show these discrepancies, we will copy the reactions as given in the table and under them give those we obtained with two separate samples of the pure dye:— — llydmehliirio. !hurio.

Steps should be taken to require manufacturers of this I'lass of goods to label their product in a less deceiving manner, since these were wt maraschino cherries. The following extract from Food Inspection Decisions, r.iitiil States Department of Agriculture, F.I.D. 139 rChem. Abst. 6, (1912), 1473) first ilftines the term, then places regulations on the labeling of products similar to the .ibovi ; " Maraschino is a liqueur or cordial prepared by fermentation and distillation from :i .small wild Dalmatian cherry. Imitations of maraschino should be labelled "iiuit.ition." Cherries of other varieties preserved in maraschino liqueur may be calleil •' cherries in maraschino," or if preserved in a syrup flavoured with maraschino alono. may be called " cherries, maraschino flavour " or " maraschino flavoured cher- ries." Sample No. 75869, put out by the Liquid Carbonic Company of Chicago, con- foriiH to the above: it is labeled "cherries, imitation maraschino flavour." LBMON (18 samples.) •"^^jl^l''' Analywdat. Dye.

Syn. ii Doubt. II Gen. fruit. Doubt, syrup. Syn. Gen. fruit. Syn. synip. Six genuine, four synthetic and two doubtful. Three samples were coloured witli uncertified dyes. Six were found to contain sodium benzoate, two salicylic acid, and one formaldehyde. In the collection were found three extracts (7451, lemon; 7495, vanilla; 7450, pineapple) and a soft drink (No. 75331, loganberry) collected by mistake. Summary. — In the total number of syrups examined (141), one hundred and four were found to be genuine, twenty-two synthetic and fifteen doyi-tful. There were only thirty-one samples coloured with uncertified dyes. Fifty-eight samples contained no added preservative, forty-se^-en benzoic acid or benzoates; twenty-tw salicylic acid; twelve formaldehyde and two alcohol. Such low percentage of gynti.etic preparations and syrups coloured with uncertified dyes in this representative collection, indicates that it will be a comparatively easy matter to enforce the standards as recommended in the first part of this report.
