For cider-making purposes the apple may be considered as a fruit consisting of solid substance or parenchyma not soluble, and of juice, which is water holding in solution saccharines, organic acids, extractives, and a little potash, lime, and" phosphorus. After being expressed the juice contains also another material, very important in cider-making, though so minute in quantity as to be imperceptible to the naked eye. It exists on the surface of the fruit, or it may be obtained from the air in the process of grinding and pressing. That substance is ferment, upon which the change from natural juice to cider depends. It is upon the varying proportions to each other of these materials in their juices that the relative qualities and value of apples for cider-making depend. If the saccharines are in high proportion, the cider will be strong; if low, it will be weak, because all alcoholic Btrength comes from saccharines alone. If the free acids are in excess the cider will be high-flavored, but excessively hard; if they are deficient, while the combined acids are present in due proportion, the flavor will be less pronounced and without hardness; if both are deficient the cider will be flavorless, flat, and iusipid.
