were determined in these two by means of the sensitive chromotropic acid test (2). The fresh and freshly canned juices contained 0.2 mg. of methanol per kg. of juice and the stored juice, 23 mg. per kg• Acids ac*dic material was found in the residue from the stripping column run of the stored juice and a small amount in the freshly canned juice, a sample of fresh juice was rechecked for the presence of volatile acids. The distillate from fresh grapefruit juice was neutral.The /)-phenylphenacyl esters obtained from the acids in the stripper residue of the stored juice were separated by chromatographic adsorption on silicic acid (74). The major portion of this was found to be the derivative of acetic acid, representing 23.3 mg. of acetic acid per kg. of juice. The melting point of the ester was 110-112°C. and a mixed melting point with /j-phenylphenacyl acetate
