ANALYZING THE BAKING POW
DERS.
ssRoyaI,, the Only Absolutely Pure
Baking Powder Made-Act1on of the
New York State Board of Health.
Under the direction of the New York State
Board of Health eighty-four different kinds
of baking powders, embracing all the brands
that could be found for sale in the State,
were submitted to examination and analysis
by Professor G. F. Chandler, member of
the State board, and president of the New
York city Board of Health assisted by Pro-
fessor Edward G. Love, the we'll known late
United States government chemist
The official report shows that large num-
Der of the powders examined were found to
contain alum or ime many of them to such
an extent as to render them seriously objec-
tionable for use in the preparation OF human
food
Alum was found in twenty-nine samples.
This drug is employed in baking powders to
cheaper their cost. The presence of lime is
attributed to the impure cream of tartar of
commerce used in their manufacture. Such
cream of tartar was also analysed and found
to contain lime and other impurities, in some
samples to the extent of ninetythree per cent.
of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of 'Royal," (not
including the alum and phosphate powders,
which were long since discarded as unsafe or
inefficient by prudent housekeepers,) are
commerce and consequently contain lime to
a corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure is the "Royal."
This perfect purity results from the exclu-
sive use of cream of tartar specially refined
and prepared by patent processes of the N. Y.
Tartar Co., which totally remove the tartrate
of lime and other impurities. The cost of
this chemically pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any other and account of
this greater cost is used in no baking powder
but the ''Royal."
Prof Love, who made the analyses of bak-
ing powders for the New York State Board
of Health, as well as for the government,
says of the purity and wholesomeness of
''Royal':
81 have tested package of Royal Baking
Powder which / purchased in the open mar
ket, and find it composed of pure and whole
some ingredients. 1t is a cream of tartar
powder of high degree of merit, and does
not contain either alum or phosphates OF any
injurious substances.
