2.Total reducing sugars.—This represents the total reducing substances in
molasses obtained by titration with Fehling’s solution after hydrolysis and expressed as
total invert sugar.
3.Unfermentable sugars.—Unfermentable sugars represent the quantity of
reducing sugars contained in molasses after it has been completely fermented by yeast
under specified conditions, again expressed as invert sugar.
4.Fermentable sugars.—Fermentable sugars shall be the difference between
the total reducing sugars of molasses and the unfermentable sugars.
5.Brix.—This is density expressed on brix densimetric scale and taken to
represent the percentage of dissolved solid matter.
6.Alcohol and spirits.—For purposes of comparison, 100 per cent Ethyl Alchol
corresponding to the formula C
2
H
6
O has been adopted as the standard for the product
obtained.Spirits are the products of distillation containing alcohol.
7.Strength of spirits.—This represents the alcohol content of the spirit expressed
in terms of degrees London proof or percentage of alcohol by volume or by weight.
For the purposes of this Appendix, percentage of alcohol by volume has been adopted
(Standard tables of densities of alcohol water mixtures are available for direct comparison
and for arriving at strength of spirits).
8.Degrees Gravity.—This expresses the density in terms of the first three
decimal figures of specific gravity when used for products of specific gravity greater
than one.
9.Wort.—This consists of a solution of molasses prepared for alcoholic
fermentation or for yeast propagation (The degree of gravity of a wort is related to the
Brix of molasses used and the degree of dilution and enables back calculation of the
quantity of molasses employed).
10.Pitch or Bub.—This represents the charge of yeast suspension prepared for
inoculating the main fermentation vats.No direct reference has been made to the pitch
in the pro forma report as it may not be necessary.(The sugars or molasses used in the
preparations of the pitch will be expressed through the quantity of wort taken).
11.Wash.—This represents the solution of molasses or wort during or after
alcoholic fermentation.
12.Sludge.—This is the residue of yeast and other materials which accumulates
in the bottom of fermentation tanks alongwith such portion of wash as goes with it and
is not taken for distillation.
1.Subs. by G.N. of 18.5.1974.

5991949 : Bom. XXV]	Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949
13.Sediment.—This represents the residue obtained after clarification or
pre-treatment of molasses.
14.Spent liquors.—This is the residual liquid or liquids discharged after
distillation of alcohol.

Determination of averages—The term “average” used in the proforma means the statistical
average worked out in tems of the quantities of different tanks or lots and values for each tank or lot.
As an example, the four tanks containing say 10,560 litres of 7.2% alcohol, 10.640 litres of 6.9%
alcohol, 10.280 litres of 7.1% alcohol and 10.830 litres of 6.85% alcohol would result in an average of
(10.560  × 7.2) plus
(10,280  × 6.9) plus (10.280  × 7.1) plus 10.830  × 6.85)
————————————————————————
42,310
Similarly, in the case of wort, the statistical average of different dilutions at varying brix made
during that period is worked out.
