It has been shown t h a t t h e soda reagent method for total hardness is quite satisfactory for ordinary work if care be t a k e n t o have sufficient excess of t h e alkali present, a n d t h a t t h e permanganate titration for calcium is very accurate.

With certain waters, however, very close results can be obtained b y this method. Seven of t h e samples, showing a range in hardness encountered in t h e Ohio River a t this locality (48 t o 130 p. p. m . total hardness; I j t o 37 p. p. m. magnesium hardness), gave very satisfactory results for magnesium b y difference, t h e average percentage of t h e t r u e a m o u n t being 98.6 per cent.

An ordinarily satisfactory procedure for examination of waters of low or medium hardness consists in determining t h e total hardness with soda reagent. t h e lime hardness with permanganate and ascertaining t h e magnesium content by difference. This method can also be used for hard waters b y applying a correction factor. For very hard waters containing only small amounts of magnesium, this base must be determined gravimetrically if accurate results are desired.

AN INVESTIGATION OF THE PRESENCE OF FURFURAL IN CIDER VINEGAR By AGNES A. ANDERSON Received November 15, 1913
T h a t pure cider vinegar contains volatile reducing substances has been known for some time a n d several methods have been given* for eliminating these substances in order t o get t h e true a m o u n t of reducing sugars. T h e presence of furfural in these volatile reducing substances was discovered while doing routine vinegar analyses in t h e Kansas S t a t e Food Laboratory. 1 Globulin does not coagulate a t temperatures below 100’ C. (see “Proteins of Wheat Kernel,” Osborne, Carnegie issue, p. 116). 2 THISJOURNAL, 6, 845, 928.
Vol. 6 , NO. 3
Since nothing on t h e subject could be found in t h e literature a n investigation was begun t o determine its presence in normal cider vinegars. T h e results seem t o warrant publication at, this time. Twenty-eight samples of cider vinegar of known purity were tested for furfural b y t h e aniline acetate method as given by Leach.l S i n e t e e n gave a positive test, nine being negative. These vinegars were made a t t h e laboratory a n d their history known. In addition t o these samples some farmers’ vinegars were tested with similar results. From these results it is seen t h a t furfural may be present normally in cider vinegars a n d its presence does not necessarily indicate added wood acetic acid. I n t h e Abstract Journal (7, 6 6 6 ) appeared a method b y Ronnet for detecting added caramel in vinegar. This method is based upon t h e formation of furfural when sugar is heated in t h e process of making caramel, a n d makes use of t h e Fiehe resorcinol reagent.2 Since i t appears t h a t furfural is normally present in some cider vinegars, its presence can again be said not t o indicate adulteration from caramel. This test for caramel was applied t o the vinegars of known purity a n d in every case a n affirmative result was obtained. Four of the samples tested for caramel did not give a test for furfural upon distillation, b u t gave a very positive caramel test. This may be due t o decomposition of t h e sugar during t h e drying on t h e water bath. T h e water b a t h was carefully maintained a t a temperature below 70’ C. t o avoid this possible decomposition, so this fact adds t o t h e unreliability of the method. Caramel was added t o some of t h e vinegars, b u t t h e resulting tests were not different Erom those t o which none h a d been added. TABLE I h-o . PI P2 3 P3
