Commissioner and City Chemist
The Prevalence of Alum Powders
and the Danger from their Use.
st. Louis Globe Democrat
At the request of Health Commis
sioner Brennan, the city chemist
has collected samples of the various
baking powders sold in st. Louis
and subjected them to analysis for
the purpose of obtaining for thepublic
benefit information as to their COM
position and character whether
| wholesome or otherwise.
Owing to the fact that alum bak-
ing powders are produced at cost
OF less than four cents a pound,
while IN appearance they are hardly
distinguishable from pure cream
OF tartar powder costing from eight
to ten times as much to manufac-
ture, there have been many of them
put upon the market, and great ef-
forts made to substitute them for
the more wholesome cream of tartar
compounds.
OF course, such powders afford
wide margins OF profits to both the
manufacturers and dealers and it is
not unusual to find them for this
reason recommended and urged up
Oh customers who would not. know
ing their true character, use them
under any considerations.
City Chemist Sullivan's report
shows one pure cream of tartar
powder only (Royal) one cream OF
tartar powder containing free tar
taric acid: one phosphate poweder
containing sulphate of lime, and that
all the other brands are made from
alum. The samples ranged in
strength from 13.47 per cent OF leav-
ening (carbonic acid) gas found in
the Royal, to 6 Os found in an alum
powder.
The general usefulness of bak-
ing powder depends largely upon
the quantity of leavening gas it gives
off. A powder containing thirteen
per cent of gas will 60 more than
twice as far-that is one pound of
such powder will raise more than
twice as much four-as one that
evolves but six per cent. The econ
omy shown, however, is not the
greatest consideration. The low
strength powders leave large resi-
dunn IN the food, which, being Of
alum III its various forms renders
the food positively unwholesome.
Upon this point, and in describ-
ing the character of the baking pow
der found of highest strength, the
city chemist says: "A high leayen
ing power is requisite Pure ingre
dients in proper combination quick
en- and increase the production of
carbonic acid gas. In this the Roy
al excsls all others. 1t is the high
est in strength, in fabrique a fault
less arrangements of agents, pure
and wholesome, free from adultera
ton with lime, ammonia or alum"
The result of these tests will be
read with interest and will prove of
great benefit to housekeepers by en-
abling them to distinguish the pure
from the numerous impure and un-
wholesome powders found in the
market.
