PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Manufacture of a Substance or Composition suitable
for use as a Substitute for Cocoa.
I, JEAN BERLIT of 36 Ober-Königstrasse, Cassel, Germany, Merchant, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved manufacture of a substance or
composition suitable for use as a substitute for cocoa comprising cocoa and oats
treated in a suitable manner, the process employed being such that the substance
shall contain cooked oats and uncooked cocoa from which the oil has been
removed.
The oats are bruised or rough-ground, then roasted and again ground either
between edge runners or between rollers.
The roasted ground oats are then mixed with water and made into a thin liquid
paste. This paste is subsequently evaporated by boiling in vacuum vessels and the
resulting mass dried, again ground, and the powder thus obtained mixed in suitable
proportions with cocoa from which the oil has been removed.
Dated this 10th day of October 1892.

SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Manufacture of a Substance or Composition suitable
for use as a Substitute for Cocoa.
I, JEAN BERLIT, of 36 Ober-Konigstrasse, Cassel, Germany, Merchant, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to a new or improved manufacture of a substance or
composition suitable for use as a substitute for cocoa comprising cocoa and oats
treated in a special manner, the process employed being such that the substance or
composition obtained shall contain cooked oats and uncooked cocoa from which the
oil has been removed.
The oats are bruised or rough-ground, then roasted, and then ground to the
condition of flour in a suitable mill as for example between edge runners or between
rollers. The flour of roasted oats thus obtained is then mixed with sufficient water
to form a thin liquid paste or pulp which is subsequently evaporated by boiling in a
vacuum vessel and the resulting mass dried and again ground to the condition of a
fine powder. The powder thus obtained is then intimately mixed in suitable
proportions with cocoa from which the oil has been removed and the resulting
mixture or composition is ready for use as a substitute for ordinary cocoa. T'he
mixture or composition may advantageously be composed of equal parts of oats and
cocoa.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The manufacture of the herein described substance or composition for use as a
substitute for cocoa consisting of an intimate mixture of powdered roasted ground
and boiled oats and cocoa from which oil or fatty bodies have been removed.

page_text: 2. The manufacture of the substance or composition referred to in the preceding
claim by first reducing oats to a coarse state then roasting and afterwards grinding
them to a fine powder, adding to the powder thus obtained a sufficient quantity of
water to form a semi-liquid paste or pulp, boiling the same in a vacuum vessel, then
drying the resulting mass, and reducing it to powder, and intimately mixing the
powder thus obtained with powdered cocoa from which the oil has been removed, as
set forth.
