LIGHT FOR THE COOK.
REPORT OF THE STATE FOOD COMMISSION ON BAKING POWDER.
THEIR STRENGTH AND VALUE OFFICIALLY ASCERTAINED—A LARGE NUMBER IMPURE.
The Ohio State Dairy and Food Com missioner, Gen. S. H. Hurst, has made public (Circular No. 6) the results of the Commission's investigation of baking powder. This commision was formed by the Legislature, with instructions to make an examination of the food supply of the State, and to give a report of such examination to the public. The exami nation of the baking powder was made by Professor H. A. Weber, State Chemist, and, relating as it dees to an article of daily use in the food of almost every one, is of particular interest.
The rather startling fact is brought out by the report that of the thirty different brands of baking powder analyzed, composing about all those sold in the State, twenty of them are made from alam, a substance declared by the highest medical authorities to be injurious to health when used in food.^f
The Commissioners classifies the baking powders into three general divisions, according to their value: 1st. Cream of Tartar Baking Powders 2d. Phosphate Baking Powders: 3d. Alum Baking Powders.
The object of baking powders is, when mixed in the flour and subjected to moisture, to generate a leaveuing gas in the dough, which will raise the bread and cause it to be porous and light. The Commissioner explains that the best baking powder is that which, the ingredients being healthful, gives off the largest amount of leavening gas and leaves the smallest amount of residuum in the bread. A small amount of carbonate of ammonia, which is considered healthful, is used in some of the cream of tartar powders to give them a higher strength. The Commission say that pure alum is undoubtedly a hurtful salt, and that the resultant salts fromits combination with soda as formed in the bread, can scarcely be less hurtful. The report ranks the powders and shows the amount in each of Inert resultants, whioh in using it would appear as residuum in the bread, as follows:
CREAM OP TABTAB POWDEBS. S, r* 'g '-A Name. JrlSduum^ 1. Royal 7.25 2. Dr. Price's. 1 2 0 8 8. Pearson's 14.39 4. Cleveland's 10.18 5. Snow Drift 17.64 0. Upper Ten 9.22 7. De Laud's 82.02 8. Sterling 12.63
PHOSPHATIC BAKING POWDERS.
9. Hosford's 86.49 10. Wheat. 86.23 ALUM BAKING POWDEBS. 11. Empire W.26 12. Gold 80.84 13. Veteran 28,86 14. Cook's Favorite 84.92 15. Sun Flower 85.60 16. Kenton *88.17 17. Patapsco 40.06 18. Jersey 16.05 19. Buckeye 2M® 20. Peerless .• 26.28 21. Silver Star 81.88 22. Crown 18.69 28. Crown (Special) 2&.09 24. One Spoon 58.W 25. Wheeler's No. 15 27.7J 26. Carleton 80.94 27. Gem 86.57 28. Scioto .... 18.25 29. Zlpp's Grape Crystal 11.99 80. Forest City 24.04
The large amount of inert matter or residuum in both the phosphate audi alum powders will be noted. This in the phosphate powders is largely of lime in the alum powders it is ohlelly alum. It will be gratifying to the public to observe that the powder in most general use, the Royal, is also the purest. In comparing the first two powders on the list, for instance—the Royal and Dr. Price's—the inert matter in Price's is
seen to be about five in seven more than in the former, a difference of 713-7 per cent., the Royal being purer than Price's by a corresponding figure.,
The carbonic or leavening gas produced by the powders indicates their strength and their true value irtay be ascertained by considering the amount of gas in connection with their inert matter or resi dum as shown above. The higher the percentage of gas and the lower the percentage of residum the better the baking powder. These percentages, as found in some of the most familiar powders, are given as follows: '*'.1-
Per Cent of Per (^enL* of
Name. Leavening gas. Residum. Royal 110# 7.25 Sterling 11 12.68 Price's HXS0 12.66 DeLandM 10. S2J58 Gem. Alum 4 5 8 6 S 7 Forest Ulty, Alum 24.04 Stiver Star, Alum 6.90 8U8 Kenton, Alum ft.20 88.17 Patnpaco, Alum ..... 6. 40.08 Empire, Alum fU)0. 84.26 Cook's Favorite, Alum 5.H0 84.82 One Spoon, Alum. 5.75 58J68
With the foregoing explanation the study of these figures will readily give consumers a knowledge of the comparative value of the different brands. To illustrate with the percentages given two powdets before compared: The Royal containing 11.8 parts of leavening gas to 10.6 in Price's its excess of strength is 1.8 in 10.5, or 12,4 per cent. Royal is therefore 12.40 per cent, stronger, as well as 71 per cent, purer than Price's, etc. The relative strength and parities of all powders can lie computed in like manner.
