A New or Improved Compound for Use as an Ingredient for Soup or
other Food, and Method of Manufacturing the same.
We, FORTUNATO GORACCI, Engineer, and ANGIOLO ANSELMI, of no
occupation, both of Montepulciano, in the Kingdom of Italy, do hereby declare.
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide an invigorating and frame forming food
for children or adults, and it consists. in a compound for use therefor and more
especially as an ingredient from which soup may be made, or for use in other forms
of food.
The materials of which the compound is made contain phosphorus and lime and
these are made up in the form of a paste by mixture of suitably small quantities
with a comparatively large quantity of a flour of a farinaceous product rich in
glutinous or mucilaginous contents. The phosphorus and the lime may be used in
the form of phosphate of lime and the most suitable farinaceous matter is semolina.
The proportions may vary, but the following offer a suitable compound for the
uses hereinbefore stated.
The difficulties attendant on forming an intimate mixture of these ingredients are
overcome as follows:-
1. Reduction of the hard grained semolina to the maximum degree of gluten.
2. Careful crushing of chemically pure phosphate of lime to an impalpable
powder.
3. Mixture of the seinolina with the phosphate so that the latter is equally
distributed through the mass.
This mixture is then made into a pašte with warm water, allowed to harden and
formed into the shape of threads or other forms such as is usual with materials
known as Italian paste.

We FORTUNATO GORACCI, Engineer, and ANGIOLO ANSELMI, of
occupation, both of Montepulciano in the Kingdom of Italy 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, to be
as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide an invigorating and frame forming

page_text: food for children or adults, and it consists in a compound for use therefor and more
especially as an ingredient, from which soup may be made, or for use in other forms
of food.
The materials of which the compound is made, contain phosphorus and lime and
these are made up in the form of a paste by mixture of suitably small quantities
with a comparatively large quantity of a flour of a farinaceous product, rich in
glutinous or mucilaginous contents. The phosphorus and the lime may be used
in the form of phosphate of lime, and the most suitable farinaceous matter is
semolina.
To this composition a small quantity of ammoniacal citrate of iron may be added.
The proportions may vary, but the following offer a suitable compound for the
uses hereinbefore stated.
1. Reduction of the hard grained semolina to the maximum degree of gluten, by
removal of as much of the starch as can be conveniently removed in practice in any
well known way.
2. Solution of the ammoniacal citrate of iron in warm water.
3. Careful crushing of chemically pure phosphate of lime to an impalpable
powder.
4. Mixture of the semolina with the phosphate so that the latter is equally
distributed through the mass.
To this mixture is then added the citrate of iron solution and the whole is well
mixed and made into a paste with warm water, allowed to harden and formed into
the shape of threads or other.forms, such as is usual with material known as
Italian paste.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The herein described compound of phosphate of lime and semolina or similar
farinaceous matter with or without addition of citrate of iron, in the proportions
substantially as set forth.
