Food Tests in New York.

OFFICIAL ANALYSIS OF BAKING POWDERS
AUTHORIZATIONS IN CREAM OF TARTAR.
Hinder the direction of the New York State
Board of Health, eigbty-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 |
Prof c. z. Chandler, member of the State
BOARD and President of the New York City !
Board of Health, assisted by Prof. Edward
C. Love. the well-known United States Gov
eminent chemist
The official report shows that large num-
Der of the powders examined were found to
contain alum or lime; many Of them to such
an extent as to render them seriously ohjeo-
tionable for use in the preparation of human
food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine samples.
This drug is employed i'll 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 aud other impurities, in some
SAMPLES to the extent Of e5 per cent of their
]
entire weight
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of Royal mot
including the alum aud phosphate powders,
which have not the virtue of even an impure
cream of tartar, are made from the adulter-
ated cream Of tartar Of commerce, and conse-
ouently contain lime to a corresponding ex-
tent
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 exclusive
use of cream Of tartar specially refued and
prepared by patent processes which totally
remove the tartrate of lime aud other inpur
tiles. The cost of this chemically pure
) cream of tartar is much greater than any
other. and on account of this greater cost Is
used in 10 baking powder but the Royal.
