True as aught beneath the sun,

Sometimes love to stay

SCIENCE IN BREAD MAKING.

AT the recent annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society, held III
Washington, ID. c., the question or
the value of carbonate of ammonia as a
leavening agent in bread, or as used in
baking powders, came upfor discussion,
In which Prof. Barker, of the University
of Pennsylvania, and President of the
Society; DR.. Richardson, late of the
United States Department Of Agricult-
ure in Washington; DR.. VIM. Nc
Murtrie, late Professor of Chemistry In
the University of Illinois; DR.. e. II.
Barley, late Chemist of the Brooklyn,
n. Y, Board of Health, and Professor
of Chemistry of the Long Island College,
and others took part.
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment
of ammonia. 1t was stated as fact
that ammonia rendered the gluten of
the flour more soluble than the original
gluten, and that the bread in which this
action was produced by carbonate of
ammonia must be more digestible and
hence more healthful, and because of
the extreme volatility of carbonate of
ammonia, and its complete expulsion
from the bread in the process of baking,
1t is one OF the most useful, most health
full and most valuable leayening agents
known.
These conclusions are borne out-by
the very elaborate and exhaustive eX-
periments made by Prof. }. W. Mallet,
of the University of Virginia, which
show conclusively that bread made with
a baking powder in which per cent of
carbonate of ammonia is used, in con-
nection with cream of taltar and Soda,is
not only of uniformly better color and
texture, but a product more wholesome,
because the ammonia serves to neutral
ize any organic or Tactic acids present
in the flour.
