THE MANUFACTURE OF HYGIENIC SWEETMEATS WITH OIL
Year: 1881

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Henri Bories and Pierre Victor Tostain, of Boulevard
Saint Denis, 1, at Paris, for an Invention of "THE MANUFACTURE OF
HYGIENIC SWEETMEATS WITH OIL."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henri Bories and Pierre
Victor Tostain at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the
22nd June 1881.
HENRI BORIES and PIERRE VICTOR TOSTAIN, of Boulevard Saint Denis, 1, at
Paris. "THE MANUFACTURE OF HYGIENIC SWEETMEATS WITH OIL."
The object of this Invention is the manufacture of a new kind of hygienic
Bweetmeats with oil. These sweetmeats are prepared exclusively from sugar and
oils, to which any desired perfume has been given; they may be eaten either as
ordinary confectionery, or they may be used in prepared dishes or in made up
pieces.
We manufacture the new sweetmeats as follows:-We take about 2 lbs.
(1 kilogramme) of pounded sugar and dissolve it in about 3/4ths of a pint
(litre) of water. We heat the solution so as to make it by evaporation thick
enough to stick to the fingers. We then run the solution on to a slab and turn the
cake or layer of sugar over several times. After it has quite cooled we soften this
sugar again by heating it dry in a pan. When it has been softened to the
consistence of honey, we add about 11 lbs. (800 grammes) of any desired oil to
which any perfume has been given. We return the whole to the fire and stir it
continuously until the mass has become quite homogeneous and can easily be run
into sweetmeat moulds. We then run the mass into the form of sweetmeats and
crystallize them in the usual manner.
It will be readily understood that chocolate can be employed instead of the
sugar, and that instead of producing sweetmeats from dissolved sugar we can make
them from undissolved sugar; also that various oils and balsams can be used, such,
for example, as cod liver oil or castor oil, in the manufacture of our hygienic
sweetmeats.

HENRI BORIES and PIERRE VICTOR TOSTAIN, of Boulevard Saint Denis, 1, at
Paris. "THE MANUFACTURE OF HYGIENIC SWEETMEATS WITH OIL."
The object of this Invention is the manufacture of a new kind of hygienic
sweetmeats with oil. These sweetmeats are prepared exclusively from sugar and
oils, to which any desired perfume has been given; they may be eaten either as
ordinary confectionery, or they may be used in prepared dishes or in made up
pieces.
We manufacture the new sweetments as follows:-We take about 2 lbs.
(1 kilogramme) of pounded sugar and dissolve it in about ths of a pint
(litre) of water. We heat the solution so as to make it by evaporation thick
enough to stick to the fingers, that is to say, to the state called by French
confectioners "forte bave" (thick slime). We then run the solution on to a slab
and turn the cake or layer of sugar over several times. After it has quite cooled
we soften this sugar again by heating it dry in a pan. When it has been softened
to the consistence of honey, we add about 14 lbs. (800 grammes) of any desired oil
to which any perfume has been given. We return the whole to the fire and stir it
continuously until the mass has become quite homogeneous and can easily be run
into sweetmeat moulds. We then run the mass into the form of sweetmeats and
crystallize them in the usual manner.
It will be readily understood that chocolate can be employed instead of the
sugar, and that instead of producing sweetmeats from dissolved sugar we can make
them from undissolved sugar, the same method being followed; also that various
oils and balsams can be used, such, for example, as cod liver oil or castor oil, in the
manufacture of our hygienic sweetmeets.
The sweetmeats may of course be made in any required form, and be colored or
ornamented as desired.
Having now described the nature of our said Invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, we declare that we claim,―
First. The manufacture of hygienic sweetmeats with oil, substantially as
herein before described.
Second. The special process herein before described of manufacturing hygienic
sweetmeats with oil.
In witness whereof, we, the said Henri Bories and Pierre Victor Tostain,
have hereunto set our hands and seals, this Tenth day of November,
One thousand eight hundred and eighty one.

Civil Engineer,
Of Boulevard St. Denis, 1,
