Among the recent discoveries in SCI
ence and chemistry, none is more i'm
portant than the uses to which COM
mon ammonia can be properly put as a
leaycning agent, and which indicate
that this familiar salt is hereafter to
perform an active part in the prepare
ton Of our daily food.
The carbonate Of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place o
small portion of it upon a knife and
hold over a flame, and it will almost
Immediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air. The gas
thus formed is simple composition of
nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is
left from the ammonia. This gives it
its superiority as leayening power
over soda and cream of tartar used
alone, and has induced its use as a
supplement to these articles. A small
quantity Of ammonia in the dough is
effective in producing bread that will
be lighter, sweeter, and more whole
some than that risen by any other leav-
oning agent. When it is acted upon
by the heat of baking the leavening gas
that raises the dough is liberated. In
this act it uses itself up, as it were ;
the ammonia is entirely diffused, leav-
ing no trace or residuum whatever.
The light, fluffy, haky appearance, so
desirable in biscuits, ETC., and so
sought after by professional cooks, is
said to be impaired to them only by
the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder man
ufacturers producing the finest goods
have been quick to avail themselves of
this useful discovery, and the hand
soonest and best bread and cake are
now largely risen by the aid of ammo.
mia, combined, of course, with other
leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the labratory, If, as seems
justly claimed for it, the application of
its properties to the purposes of cook
ing results in giving us lighter and
more wholesome bread, biscut, and
cake, it will prove boon to dyspeptic
humanity, and will speedily force itself
into general use in the new field to
which science has assigned it.
