Complete Specification Left, 3rd May, 1894-Accepted, 9th June, 1894
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture or Preservation of
Condensed Milk.
We, CHARLES EKIN, of 143 New Bond Street, in the County of Middlesex,
Chemist, and WALTER HENRY THEW, of 9, Arundel Street, Strand, in the County
of Middlesex, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture or preservation of condensed peptonised
milk and other forms of condensed milk.
Hitherto the preservation of condensed peptonised milk and the more ordinary
forms of condensed milk has been usually effected by the addition of ordinary
commercial sugar, preferably cane sugar.
It is a well known fact in medical practice, that, in a great number of cases,
ordinary cane sugar, in the process of digestion, gives rise to dyspepsia and other
injurious effects of mal-assimilation and on this account is frequently ordered to be
omitted from a dietary, partly or altogether. It is found that these injurious
effects may be altogether avoided in some cases and in others materially lessened
by the use of sugars which have undergone a process of hydrolysis, identical with
or analogous to the processes of digestion.. The special sugar with which we obtain
the best results is levulose but we may also use maltose, either in conjunction with
levulose or separate from it.
The general manufacture of the condensed peptonised milk may be carried out as
set forth in the Specification of the said Walter Henry Thew No. 13138* substituting
however lovulose or maltose or both for ordinary commercial sugar.
For ordinary condensed milk not peptonised the levulose etc. may be used in the
ordinary manner like ordinary commercial sugar.
Dated this 3rd day of August 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture or Preservation of
Condensed Milk.
We, CHARLES EKIN, of 143 New Bond Street, in the County of Middlesex,
Chemist, and WALTER HENRY THEW of 9, Arundel Street, Strand, in the County
of Middlesex, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the manufacture or preservation of condensed peptonised
milk and other forms of condensed milk.
Hitherto the preservation of condensed peptonised milk and the more ordinary
forms of condensed milk has been usually effected by the addition of ordinary
commercial sugar, preferably cane sugar.
It is a well-known fact in medical practice, that, in a great number of cases,
ordinary cane sugar, in the process of digestion, gives rise to dyspepsia and other

omitted from a dietary, partly or altogether. It is found that these injurious effects
may be altogether avoided in some cases and in others materially lessened by the use
of sugars which have undergone a process of hydrolysis identical with or analogous
to the processes of digestion. Although we have found the best results are obtained
from levulose, still maltose may be used either in conjunction with lerulose or
separate from it.
The general manufacture of the condensed peptonised milk may be carried out as
set forth in the Specification of the said Walter Henry Thew No. 1313
of 1884 substituting however levulose or maltose or both for ordinary commercial
sugar.
For ordinary condensed milk not peptonised the levulose or the above named
sugars may be used in the ordinary manner like ordinary commercial sugar.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manuer the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is ;-
1. The employment of levulose or maltose either separately or in combination in
the manufacture of condensed milk and condensed peptonised milk.
2. The use of levulose or maltose or a combination of both in the manufacture
of condensed milk and condensed peptonised milk for preservation and dietetic
purposes.
