To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each kind of organism produces its own characteristic changes. It would thus appear a miracle if the same substances were always produced. Yet, just as grape-juice left exposed to every micro-organism of the air, generally changes in the direction of wine more or less good, so the pulp of cacao tends, broadly speaking, to ferment in one way. It would, however, be a serious error to assume that exactly the same kind of fermentation takes place in any two fermentaries in the world, and the maximu...m variation must be considerable. As the pulp ferments, it is destroyed ; it gradually changes from white to brown, and a liquid (" sweatings ") flows away from it. The " sweatings " taste like sweet 'cider. At present this is allowed to run away through holes in the bottom of the box, and no care is taken to preserve what may yet become a valuable by-product. I found by experiment that in the preparation of one cwt. Of dry beans about i-J gallons of this unstable liquid are produced. In other words, some seven or eight million gallons of " sweatings " run to waste every year.
