PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Food Preparations.
We, GUSTAF ALFRED BRINOK of Skeppsbron 46, merchant, and ALBERT WILHELM
REHNSTRÖM, of Mälhammar Rekarne, agricultural engineer and dairy instructor, both
in Stockholm, Sweden, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to prepare a food for human beings, horses, dogs, and
other animals in a portable and concentrated form and possessing (if necessary) the
proper proportions of the mineral matters and nutritious substances to promote health
and physical development.
This food we prefer to prepare in the form of cakes, bread, biscuits or even in the
form of puddings and sausages which for human use may be made by mixing milk
curds (casein) dried crushed and ground with flour or any suitable form of meal which
after the mixing are baked.
Butter, lard, fat or other animal or vegetable ingredients may be added to make the
cakes more palatable or to increase nutritive value.
In preparing this food for cattle, dogs, horses, and the like we prefer to take the
milk curds, dried and crushed and mixed with meal such as oat, wheat or maize meal
with a suitable proportion of other vegetable and mineral matters, the cakes thus
prepared being baked as before. The vegetable matters other than the meal would
preferably be some form of seed such as linseed, but other vegetable matters may be
employed. The mineral matters may be of various kinds but it is especially desirable
to use bone flour; the proportion of the mineral matters employed may be varied but
generally from 1 to 3 per cent., will give satisfactory results.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Food Preparations.
We, GUSTAF ALFRED BRINCK, merchant, and ALBERT WILHELM REHNSTRÖM,
agricultural engineer, and dairy instructor, both of Stockholm, Sweden, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to prepare a food for human beings, horses, dogs,
and other animals in a portable and concentrated form and possessing (if necessary)
the proper proportions of the mineral matters and nutritious substances to promote
health and physical development.
-
This food we prefer to prepare in the form of cakes, bread, biscuits, or even in the
form of puddings and sausages which for human use may be made by mixing milk
curds (casein) dried crushed and ground with flour or any suitable form of meal which
after the mixing are baked.
Butter, lard, fat or other animal or vegetable ingredients may be added to make the
cakes more palatable or to increase nutritive value.
In preparing this food for cattle, dogs, horses, and the like, we prefer to take the
milk curds, dried and crushed and mixed with meal such as oat, wheat or maize meal
with a suitable proportion of other vegetable and mineral matters, the cakes thus
prepared being baked as before. The vegetable matters other than the meal would
preferably be some form of seed such as linseed, but other vegetable matters may be

page_text: employed. The mineral matters may be of various kinds but it is especially desirable
to use bone flour; the proportion of the mineral matters employed may be varied but
generally from 1 to 3 per cent. will give satisfactory results.
The curds (casein) to be used in accordance with this invention may readily be
separated froin the milk by means of rennet. While the curds are still fresh they are
finely divided and dried at a temperature of about + 45° to 65° C. but never exceed-
ing+100° C. The dried curds are then crushed and again dried and then pulverized
after which they are again dried and are then ready for use and are packed in air-
tight vessels which are stored in a dry place kept at a suitable temperature.
When this powder is to be used it may be mixed in the dough from which bread,
biscuits or cakes is or are prepared, or it may be placed among and constitute one
of the ingredients of puddings, sausages etc., or it may be added to soups or other food
preparations.
The purpose of adding the finely divided curds to food preparations is to
give them a high alimental value by reason of the great quantity of nitrogen con-
tained in the curds.
Butter, lard, fat, cream, milk, egg, sugar, or other animal or vegetable ingredients
may be added to make the cakes or other preparations more palatable and to increase
their nutritive value.
Food, especially intended for horses may be prepared by mixing one or more
species of corn preferably parts by weight of oatmeal 1 part of wheat meal 1 part
of wheat bran and 1 part of rye meal the last mentioned of which may be added while
the dough is being needed. When the required quantities of meal are ready to be
mixed, the ground curds (prepared as before described) the water and the ferment are
added and the whole along with the rye meal are well kneaded together. After this
they are allowed to ferment and are then baked. The horse food is then dried. Some
of the curds may also be added to and well kneaded into the already formed dough.
Into this food preparation for horses there may also be introduced with advantage maize
meal, millet and rice also with great advantage there may be added some finely
crushed linseed from which the oil has been expressed (linseed cakes).
It is further necessary to add from one to two per cent. by weight of fine bone
flour. The quantity of powdered curds used may be from 10 to 30 per cent. by weight
but this as also the proportions of the other ingredients may be varied to suit require-
ments.
If desired a suitable material may be added to the food to improve its
aroma.
When the food is intended for dogs the proportions of curds is preferably increased
to 40 per cent. if lesser nitrogenous species of corn are used such for example as maize,
and rice, and it is also advantageous to add about two per cent. of suitable animal
or vegetable fat and besides this there may be added a suitable quantity of fish-meal
or flesh-meal.
To the food when prepared for dogs and horses there is preferably added about
per cent. of finely divided common salt, and if desired the said food may be prepared
without the fermentation before described.
It will be understood that the before described food preparations may be not only
for human use and for the use of horses and dogs but cattle and the like in general
may be fed upon it, the various ingredients being varied according to special require-
ments.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. As an article of food or ingredient in food preparations the employment of
powdered or finely divided milk curds (casein) substantially as herein described.
2. The method of preparing powdered or finely divided milk curds (casein) sub-
stantially as herein described.

page_text: 3. Bread, biscuits and other food preparations for human use in the manufacture of
which powdered milk curds (casein) are introduced as an ingredient substantially as
herein described.
4. Food preparations for horses, dogs, cattle and the like in the manufacture of
which powdered milk curds (casein) are introduced as an ingredient substantially as
herein described.
