GUM FROM ORANGES
A scientific discovery of great commercial importance has been made at the Daniel Sieff Institute in Re'hoboth, near Jaffa, Palestine. A German-Jew-ish professor, Dr. Bergmann, has found a way of extracting pectin, a gelatine used for gum, from the white inner skin of oranges. Potatoes have until now been used to produce pectin, of which large quantities have been imported into Palestine for various uses. The discovery (says the Jerusalem correspondent of the Sunday Express) is expected to cause a revolution in the orange by-products market, and to solve the problem of the disposal of surplus fruit production. The Daniel Sieff Institute was endowed by Air. I. M. Sieff, the London business magnate, in memory of his son.
