BAKING POWDER. + </h2> +</div> + + +<p>There are many ways to make good baking +powder, and none are bad, notwithstanding +what is said about the unhealthfulness of certain +kinds by several large manufacturers, who find +fault with all but those made by themselves. The +writer of this, after years of experience in the +manufacture, has yet to find an unhealthful baking +powder. Even should the powder be compounded +wrongly, none of all the materials used in its +manufacture, are injurious at all, after being +baked. Heat and water chemically change the +different ingredients excepting the filler, which, +being either corn starch, potato, wheat or rice +flour, are certainly not injurious. All baking +powders generate the same kind of gas, +namely—carbonic acid gas. This is the leavening +power in the dough, being distributed +through the flour in minute particles as baking +powder in the dry state. After wetting the mass +the generation of the gas begins, causing the +dough to swell, in which state it must be baked +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[10]</span>before the gas escapes. Cream of tartar and soda +baking powder generate carbonic acid gas when +dampened and leaves a residue, not cream of tartar +or soda, for these have been changed by the +combustion caused by the moisture, but the residue +is Rochelle salts. Alum and soda baking +powder generates the same gas, and where +the quality is of the best, a little more of it. +The residue in this case is neither alum nor soda, +but a small amount of Glauber’s salts. The +quantity of these salts is so small that to get +enough to make one dose for medicine, a +man would have to consume at one meal +over a peck of biscuits. The baking powder +that is to be the future powder of the world [and +is to a great extent of the present] is a combination +of alum, soda and acid phosphate. Alum +and soda, though being the strongest, is apt +when used in stiff dough, on account of insufficient +moisture being used, or too much powder +to the amount of flour, to cause a bitter taste. +This is owing to incomplete combustion. The +phosphate being the purest of all materials [leaving +the least residue] loses its strength when +brought into great contact with soda, which it +must be when used by itself, as it requires two +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">[11]</span>pounds to one pound of soda, consequently leaving +very little room for the filler to keep it cool.</p> + +<p>This formula is recommended above all others. +It is cheap, strong from the alum, steady +also from the alum, as it only releases its gas entirely +when exposed to the heat of the oven. +Quick rising, from the prompt elimination of the +gas by the phosphates, which has also a neutralizing +effect, when too much powder is used, or +too little moisture employed in mixing.</p> + +<p>The <i>Filler</i>. (If starch) should be the chemical +corn starch, powdered. It can be had of +any starch manufacturer, in one or more barrel +lots. It is the same that is sold in one pound +packages, and known as corn starch. It should +be sifted into the mixer first.</p> + +<p>The <i>Sifter</i>. All the material should be +sifted through a No. 24 to 50 mesh sieve to reduce +all the ingredients to the same fineness.</p> + +<p>The <i>Mixer</i>. For small quantities a drum or +barrel churn can be used, if a regular mixer is +not to be had.</p> + +<p>The <i>Soda</i> should not be left standing after +sifting, as it cakes very quickly. Sift into the +starch, and if not ready to place in the other +ingredients, mix it with the starch, when it can +be left standing indefinitely.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[12]</span></p> + + +<h3 id="Phosphate_Combination_Baking_Powder"> + <span class="smcap">Phosphate Combination Baking Powder.</span> +</h3> + +<table class="autotable"> + +<tr> +<td class="tdl wd80"> +Filler +</td> +<td class="tdl"> +60 +lbs.</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl"> +Soda Bicarbonate +</td> +<td class="tdl"> +30 +<span class="pad05">”</span></td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl"> +Cream Tartar substitute [alum] +</td> +<td class="tdl"> +20 +<span class="pad05">”</span></td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td class="tdl"> +Phosphate +</td> +<td class="tdl"> +20 +<span class="pad05">”</span></td> +</tr> +</table> + + +<p><i>Process.</i> Sift your filler into the mixer, +then sift in the soda, C.

The nuts are brought here +by the vessel-load, some ships bringing as many +as 400,000 in one cargo. They are put up in +bags of one hundred each. The average weight +of the green nut is one and one-half pounds. +The best are those thickest in meat and richest +in natural oil and sugar. They come from San +Blas, Cow Island, San Andreas, Ruatans, Jamaica, +and Baracoa. They grow on the islands +of the <ins class="corr" title="Transcriber's Note—original text: Carribean" id="Carribean">Caribbean</ins> Sea, and the trees are so planted +that the roots are constantly washed with salt +water. The nuts are not picked from the tree, +but fall to the ground when ripe because of the +decay of the stems. When the husk is taken +off they are ready for shipping. The perishable +nature of the green nut has made desiccated +cocoanut more desirable in the market, and this +is the article we manufacture and sell.”</p> + +<p>“What is the operation?”</p> + +<p>“The cocoanuts are placed in a large hopper, +from which they fall to a zinc-covered table on a +lower floor. In front of this table several men +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_48">[48]</span>are placed, who crack the shell of the nut with a +hatchet as it falls on the table. Then the shell +is pried off, leaving the meat whole. From six to +eleven o’clock six men at this work open twelve +thousand nuts. A peeling machine then takes +off the brown skin of the nuts, after which the +meats are broken into pieces, the milk drawn off, +and the pieces put into tubs of clean cold water. +The meat is then inspected as to its quality, and +next it is put into a grinding mill turning four +hundred revolutions a minute. The pulp thus +made is mixed with granulated sugar and put in +long pans of galvanized iron, which are put in +the desiccators and the water extracted at a high +temperature. An interesting fact about the +work is that the entire process must be completed +by two o’clock in the afternoon, because +of the delicate nature of the fruit. The desiccated +nut is white as snow, and perfectly dry, when it +has been through the process, and it is then +allowed to cool, and is left in a dry temperature +for ten days before it is finally put up for the +market. At three o’clock each day the work is +all done.”</p> + +<p>“What about the idea that cocoanut is indigestible?”</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">[49]</span></p> + +<p>“It is supposed by many persons to be so. +But the best growths show by analysis about 48 +per cent. of digestible oils, 5 per cent. of sugar, +about 46 per cent. of water, and only 1 per cent. +of ash.

The hot fruit will, to all +intents, expel the air from the can. No water +should be used with the fruits, except in cases +<span class="pagenum" id="Page_72">[72]</span>where a little is necessary to dissolve the sugar, +as it tends to render them insipid.

Canned in this way, peaches +retain all their freshness and flavor. There will +not be enough water in them to render them +insipid.

While the fruit is being heated, +keep the jars filled with moderately hot water. +As soon as the fruit is ready, empty the water +from the jars, fill to the brim with fruit, and seal +immediately. As it cools a vacuum is formed, +which prevents bursting. In this way every +kind of fruit will retain its flavor. Sometimes a +thick leathery mold forms on the top—if so, all +the better. The plan of keeping the jars full of +hot water is merely to prevent the danger of +cracking when the hot fruit is inserted.
