Maple producers contemplating the use of high pressure steam should carefully plant their steam system with the assistance of qualified persons. Proper boiler selection to meet the system requirements is an important step in the success of any steam system.
This project was conducted to determine if ginseng could be cultivated in a sugar maple forest for alternative income.
Invert sugar content of syrup determines how well the syrup will crystalize when making value-added products. This article explains how to conduct that test.
Maple syrup can also be processed into a wide variety of confections including granulated or molded maple sugar, molded soft-sugar candy, maple cream, maple fondant, and “Jack Wax” or “Maple on Snow.” These confections are easy to make, delicious to eat, and make excellent gifts.
A guide to determining product pricing and profit of maple syrup production.
Notes from a group discussion of maple extension specialists.
This article reports on experiments to determine the usefulness of ozone as a method of reducing the microbial levels in maple sap.
The purpose of this article is to shed some light on important and often observed differences between Sugar Maple and Black Maple, and to discuss the comparative sweetness of their sap.
We surveyed and wounded forest-grown sugar maple (Acer sacchamm Marsh.) trees in a long-term, replicated Ca manipulation study at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, USA. Plots received applications of Ca (to boost Ca availability above depleted ambient levels) or A1 (to compete with Ca uptake and further reduce Ca availability). We found significantly greater total foliar and membrane-associated Ca in foliage of trees in plots fertilized with Ca when compared with trees from Al-addition and control plots (P = 0.005).
In fairness to both sap producers and sap purchasers, the price of maple sap should be directly related to the price of maple syrup. This chart helps calcuate that value.
