`
`Regardless of the actual date, it was January of
`
`2020?
`
`Yes.
`
`
`
`Okay. Was this the first time that you had ——
`
`well,
`
`let me ask, what was the purpose —— your
`
`perspective —— what's the purpose of this
`
`testing?
`
`To define for those who are curious how much
`
`
`
`can be blended with certain sizes of large
`
`granule sugar to produce a commercially Viable
`
`product of an 8 brix.
`
`Okay.
`
`So this is what someone would have to do
`
`to understand percentages of EFG with larger
`
`sugar?

`
`to me.
`
`This is how you figured it out?
`
`Yes.
`
`So in this testing, as I understand it, you were
`
`taking various sizes of larger sugar and
`
`blending them? And here when I say blend,
`
`I'm
`
`talking about
`
`two different sources of sugar
`
`coming together, blending them with EFG in
