The foregoing tables provide us with a general idea of the chemical constituents of the cacao bean, but their distinctive properties, both chemical and physical, still remain to be defined, with which we accordingly proceed, as such data will on the one hand enable us to grasp how loss may be avoided in the manufacture of cacao and chocolate wares, and at the same time render intelligible familiar processes connected therewith.
