But this is not the case, for when the juice is submitted to this operation, it soon becomes turbid, though clear at first, and presents to the eye a number of lumps similar to those produced by defecation, and which are held in solution, and only precipitated as the water evaporates. These solid particles contribute to the alteration which takes place in the sugar. One inconvenience attending them is this: that if it were wished to proceed at once to boil the juice without interposing between the defecation and this same boiling, some process by which the syrup can be purged from the impurities which are held in suspension in it, we should obtain nothing but a thick substance which would burn before it perfected its sugar, and from which, in fact, not an atom of crystallizable matter could be extracted.
