Ammonia and alum are the most
common adulterants used in the
manufacture of baking powders. The
Government report shows that large
percentage of the baking powders on
the market contain either one or the
other, or both these pernicious drugs.
What woman would use an am
monia or alum baking powder if she
knew it Such powders not only
undermine the health, but ammonia
gives to the complexion n sallow or
blotched appearance. The presence OF
ammonia or alum in baking powder
can easily be detected
To DETECT AMMoNIA.-Mix one
heaping teaspoonful of baking powder
with one teaspoOnful of water in a
tin cup; boil thoroughly for few
moments, stir to prevent burning, and
If ammonia is present you can smell
it in the rising steam. Or, place a
can of the suspected powder top down
on hot stove for a minute or two,
then take off the cover and smell.
To DETECT ALUM. Alum powder
can be tested by putting a couple of
teaspoonfuls of the powder in glass
OF cold water. Ii no effervescence,
that is bubbling or simmering, takes
place, condemn the powder and return
it at once.
Some alum powders, however, like
the Calumet" Bon Ton," Chicago
Yeast" ETC., contain phosphates in
combination with alum, and with these
brands the following test is simple and
sure:
Take one-half teaspoonful OF baking
powder in lid of say half pound can
char thoroughly over strong alcohol
flame, good gas jet, or red hot Goals.
After charing Chat is, burning until
the whole mass is black add tea
spoonful Of water and place a bright
piece of silver coin in the solution.
Stir for one minute, then take out the
silver. If the powder prove cream of
tartar powder the coin will be bright;
il an alum powder it will have sulphur
stains.
Now pour little vinegar into the
lid and smell the fumes. Alum pow
ders give off sulphuretted hydrogen,
which may be detected by its foul odor.
DIR. Prices Cream Baking Powder is
reported by all authorities as free from
Ammonia, Alum, Lime or any other
adulterant. In fact, the purity of this
ideal powder has never been questioned.
