MILK IN THE cocoAnuT
DeIuslon That Fluid Has Anything In
Common Win Real Milk
Dissipated.

Probably everybody has wondered
at times what kind Of stuff the milk"
Of the cocoanut is. One inducement
generally held out by the dealer to
the prospective purchaser Is that the
nuts are ''all milky" Recent
analysis. however, have dissipated
the delusion that the fluid has any
thing In common with real milk. It
contains only four per cent. of solids.
consisting chiefly OF sugars 2.s per
cent, the balance being made up OF
mineral matter and tartaric acid.
More than half OF the sugar pres
ent is mannitol the sweet principle
OF ma ma which is sometimes found
also in wine as product Of normal
grape sugar The question has been
discussed as to whether 1t would be
profitable to extract the cocoanut wa
ter for the sake OF It's cane sugar,
but as this amounts to only one-tenth
per cent. the process would not be
commercially successful. In spite Of
the water being a waste product.
Even il the water contained five per
cent. of sugar. as some specimens
appear to have shown. TIE recovery
of thissamount would be Improbable
The juice of the sugar cane yields
nearly 20 ner cent. OF sugar.
