NAPOLEON BONAPARTE WAS
FIRST PURE FOOD CRUSADER
Little Corsiean" Really Responsible
For Discovery Of Canning
Without Chemicals.

Napoleon Bonaparte instigated the
first pure food crusade" In SO do
ing he brought about a revolution in
natural canning processes. In i'm
proved form they are in use i'm the
United states today. Records of the
French Academy of Science. just late
" unearthed in Paris, have laid bare
the whole pure food history
There was strong objection 10 the
manner in which the Little Corsi-
cans" soldiers were compelled to car
~ food and eat It while on the march
So strcnuously did the French nation
voice its disgust at the methods then
in vogue that Napoleon directed that
the academy offer a price or l2,oOO
francs to the man who could keep
foods indefinitely I'm their natural con
dition, without added personalities,
such as were then believed to be in
use and which included salt sugar,
vinegar and smoke.
Nicholas Appert won the l2.000
francs. He discovered what has since
been perfected into the present-day
method Of canning. for he simply en-
closed the food in alright containers
and subjected the whole to such de-
gree of heat that the contents re-
ceived thorough sterilization. me
vessels which Appert used were
clumsy. He was handicapped in his
efforts by poor utensils. However, he
originated the fundamental principle
which is used in American canneries
today. Now. however. in place OF
Appert's crude vessels. fruits, vege.
tables and the like are placed In
bright. new clean cans. which are
made alright The second division OF
the process is the subsection OF the
cans To intense heat Boiling water
M temperature Of 2l2 degrees Fab

which thousands upon thousands OF
cans are allowed To stand for given
length OF time If cooked by steam

grces or more, tho product is not Civ.
on as long a period OF sterilization.
Science. since Appert's day, has de.
termned the length Of time neces-
sarv The operation is simple. yet
the process is all-important Absolute
" nothing more than heat Is neccs'
sary TO keen the delicacics in pure
state for years. The sterilization
process in the case OF callneu tOHla
toes requires only fifteen minutes AZ
the highest temperature 10 40 minutes
at the lowest AS a result there is no
necessity today for the 18th century
use of the chemicals or drugs which
held sway before Napoleon presented
Appert with the 1900 francs for his
disc0&SIy an authority on ro0d poiHts
out thai even though a preservatiNe
be added the cans would be compelled
to go through the same process. 50
there is no incentive for foreign sub
stances.
