years in the Office OF the register

food brings us TO one of the great
est Psychologists, Carl Volt, who in
1870 showed that gelatin could he
used in a diet to spare protein to
q greater extent than either fats
or carbohydrates.
Sanitary Methods
Today, the preparation of gcla-
tin involves the strictest methods
of sanitation and chemical control.
In order to make gelatin soluble,
over 1000 pounds of water are
used for every pound of gelatin
produced. The gelatin solutions
are then filtered and concentrated
In a vacuum, formed into sheets
and dried under carefully reru-
lated air conditions. The purity
of the air circulated in the dricrs
is comparable to purity Of the air
three and one-half miles above
sea level.
Gelatin is form of protein and
like all protcins contains nitrogen
and possesses colloidal properties.
1t has been said that all living pro-
cesscs take place in a colloidal me-
dunn which gives gelatin its i'm
portancc in diet.
Nutritional studies have shown
that some isolated protcins are
extra rich in some essential food
elements and are lacking in others.
For this reason gelatin is valuable
In order to supplement- deficiencies
that appear in other food products.
Varied Uses
Some of the conditions for
which gelatin is useful are:

that gelatin is very effective for

tional value. 1t ncutralizcs and
reduces the free acidity of the Sc
crct;onS for 30 minutes to an hour.
DidhcfCS.-Gclatin is useful in
the diet of the diahctic because it
is free from carbohydrates and
allows the preparation of appctiz-
ing. nourishing foods in n wide
variety of combinations. and in
larger portions.
Infant Fesdin9.-Tn the prob
lem of artificial feeding of infants
in relation TO suitably modifying
cows milk gelatin is very useful.
1t is known that the addition Of
n protective colloid such rs gola-
tin To milk controls the coagulation
of cascin and thus lowers the curd
tension during digestion.
CoHrdicsccnt Dicis.-In many
convalcscent diets the principle
object is to produce a diet high in
nutritional elements but small in
amount. Gelatin is useful as an
ingredient of such diets because
it allows for both of these posi-
bilities.
Reducing Dirfs.-Tn any reduc-
ing diet the patient should MAIN
tain "a daily allowance of protein
sufficient 10 take care of his daily
needs. Gelatin produces an easy
source of doing this without add
ing To the caloric intake in a way
that 10 other protcins do without
having an extra amount Of fat,
such as meat, eggs. etc.
Gelatin is easily digcstiblc. nom
irritating and therefore can be
used in all sorts of convalcsccnt
diets and those which have to do
with digestive disturbances such
as colitis. intestinal irritation. etc.
