Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: To briefly recapitulate the results of the foregoing investigation, it is shown that the waste products from the cherry industry can be reduced to a number of valuable products: (1) The fixed oil, which is perhaps the most important product, is, in its properties and general characteristics, so closely related to the commercial oil of almonds that it is placed in an important position with respect to usefulness and value. The oil expressed from the fresh kernels is quite similar to almond oil and its use as an article of commerce, applied along pharmaceutical and therapeutical lines, or as a condimental oil, or even for soap-making purposes, should be assured. (2) The volatile oil which can be produced from the press cake after the fixed oil has been extracted is practically identical with the oil of bitter almonds, thus rendering its usefulness the same in every way as that of bitter-almond oil. (3) The meal, which is the final residue, has been shown to possess nourishing properties, much the same as those of the more common feeding stuffs on the market. (4) The juice has been shown to be capable of being transformed into alcohol, sirup, or jelly, and it is reasonable to assume that there should be a demand for such products.
