A WAY HAS BEEN FOUND TO
■ DOUBLE VALUE OF COFFEE CROP
RIO DE JANEIRO, May 10—After
i forty years of chemical research, a
way has been found to double the al
ready enormous value of the coffee
crop by manufacturing by-products
from the coffee berry husk.
One of the by-products—manita—
properly combined with nitrogen,
makes an explosive of about the same
I power as dynamite or fulminate of
mercury, and markets at about $lO
per kilogram.
The average coffee crop of the state
lof Sao Paulo, Brazil, is ten million
sacks of 132 pounds each, representing
a value of more than $80,000,000. This
[value is in coffee without the by-pro
ducts.
Dr. Pedro Baptista de Andrade, the
chemist, already has begun manufac
turing the by-products, which re dis
, covered. He proposed to poduce 30,-
000,000 litters of alcohol, 360,000 kilo
| grams of manita and 36,000 kilograms
of Caffeine. Caffeine is a drug com
manding a price of about 10 cents a
gram. Alcohol is sold here at about 12
cents a liter. Dr. Andrade’s process Is
ito treat by distillation processes the
[ coffee berry husk, which heretofore
has been discarded as useless.
j Because of the war-made demand
i for explosives and alcohol, the new
I industry is expected to jump quickly
into prosperity.
