DISCOVER WAY TO MAKE
TABLE SYRUP FROM APPLES
Department of Agriculture Applies for,
Public Service Patent —Will En
able Cider Millb to Make Valuable
By-product Out of Excess Cider
Washington, D. C., Oct. 10. —Fol- j
lowing extensive experiments begun j
last spring, the head of the fruit and j
vegetable utilization laboratory of thej
Department of Agriculture has applied j
for a public service patent covering j
the making of a new form of table !
syrup from apple juice. This patent
will make the discovery, which the
specialists believe will be of great val
ue to all apple growers as a means of I
utilizing their culls and excess apples,
common property of any cider mill in'
the United States which wishes to [
manufacture and sell apple cider syrup.
The new'svrup, ono gallon of whicli j
is made from seven gallons of ordinary
cider, ig a clear ruby or amber colored
syrup of about the consistency of cane
syrup and maple syrup. Properly steri
lized and put in sealed tins or bot
tles, jt will keep indefinitely, and when
opened, will keep under household con
ditions as well as other syrups. It has
a distinct fruity aroma and special
flavor of its own which is described as
being practically the same as the taste
of the syrupy substance which exudes
from a baked apple.
Can Be Used Like Other Syrups
The syrup can be used like maple or
other syrups for griddle cakes, cereals,
j household cookery, and as flavoring in
desserts. The Government cooking ex
perts are at present experimenting with
it in cookery and expect shortly to is
sue recipes for use of the new syrup
in old ways and for taking advantage
I of its special flavor in novel dishes.
The Department chemists have al
j ready produced over ten gallons of this
syrup in their laboratories, using sum
| mer and other forms of apples. The
j success of the experiments has greatly
interested some of the apple growers,
and during October a large cider mill
I in the Hood River Valley, Oregon, will
iin co-operation with the Government
J chemists, endeavor to produce 1,000
! gallons on a commercial scale and give
the new product a thorough market
I test by making it accessible through
j retailers in a limited field. The inter-
I est of apple growers in the product
I arises from the fact that the new ap
j pie cider syrup promises to give them
I a commercial outlet for vast quantities
j of windfall and other apples for which
| they hitherto could find no market
| either in perishable raw cider or in
vinegar.
Market Flooded With Perishable Cider
Cider production, it seems, comes
| largely at one season of the year dur
i ing which the market is more or less
: flooded with this perishable product.
The bulk and perishability of the raw
cider, moreover, the cider makers state,
often make it unprofitable for them to
ship the raw cider of one district, long i
distances to a
j gion. The market for cider, therefore, I
j has been largely restricted in many j
j cases to localities near the area of pro
| duction. No method ol' sterilizing oriii
j nary cider has been found practical for
j the reason that boiling cider at once in-1
i terferes with its delicate flavor.
With the cider mill able to make a!
I palatable, long-keeping table syrup out j
i of its apple juice, growers, it is be-1
] lieved, will be able to use all excess j
I juice for bottled or canned apple sy-j
I rup. The new syrup, the specialists
! find, will keep indefinitely, so that the
| cider makers can market it gradually |
throughout the year.
Process for Making Syrup
The process for making the syrup
calls for the addition to a cider mill of;
j a filter press and open kettles or some!
j other concentrating apparatus. The
! process i s described as follows: The
| raw cider is treated with pure milk of;
! lime until nearly, but not quite, all of I
ithe natural malic acids are neutralized,
i The cider is then heated to boiling and
filtered through a filter press, an es
sential feature of the process. The,
j resultant liquid is then evaporated
i either in continuous evaporators or open
• kettles, just as ordinary cane or sorg
| hum syrup is treated. It then is cooled!
; and allowed to stand for a short time,!
; which causes the lime aud acids to'
j form small crystals of calcium inalate.
; The syrup is then refiltered through
| the filter press, which removes the
I crystals of calcium malate and leaves
I a syrup with practically the same basic
composition as ordinary cane syrup. I
Its flavor, however, ami-appearance arel
j distinctive.
Calcium malate, the by-product, is a
substance used in medicine anil at I
present selling for $2 per pound. It is l
| believed that if calcium malate can be
■ produced in this way cheaply and in i
! large quantities, it can be made com
mercially useful in new ways, possiblv 1
| in the manufacture of baking powder.
The cost of making this syrup on a j
| commercial scale will be determined I
during the test in October.
