Abstract


In an earlier communication (1) the long felt need for a systematic nvestigation into the several probable factors which govern the differential properties exhibited by jaggeries, as they are available in the market, was ndicated. In it, a preliminary review of the results of such an investigation was also given briefly. In what follows are embodied the results of the study made to understand the properties of jaggeries, in respect especially of their relations to various degrees of relative humidity. For purposes of the present study, only two types of jaggeries, the distinctly good and the distinctly bad ones, were selected, based on the Following empirical tests. It may be mentioned here that a number of samples of medium quality were also studied, but as their properties stood between hose of the good and the bad ones, they are not included in this paper.
