Notes:
Recycling was evaluated as a means of alleviating pollution from cherry processing brines. Brines were reclaimed by filtration, treatment with activated carbon, and addition of SO2 and lime. Cherries processed with reclaimed brine were similar in composition, color, and firmness to controls. The capacity of the reclamation system was estimated. Reclaimed brine became discolored if iron exceeded 30–40 ppm. SO2 losses were higher in full strength brines than in weaker brines. Brined cherries repacked in water lost more SO2 than did brined controls and became discolored during storage. Maraschino cherries prepared from water-packed cherries were less firm than controls. Design and engineering studies based on these data are in progress.
