EDWARD RALPH MORITZ, Doctor of Philosophy of 72 Chancery Lane London,
and HERBERT CABRY LEE, Gentleman, of 9 Park Crescent, Portland Place
London, in the county of Middlesex "A NEW PROCESS FOR THE ELIMINATION
OF NITROGENOUS MATTERS FROM FERMENTABLE OR FERMENTED SUBSTANCES "
The object of this Invention is wholly, or in definite part, to eliminate from
fermentable or fermented substances those excessive nitrogenous matters, which
act as nutriment for the germs, by which putrefactive or secondary fermentative
change is caused, and substances so treated are thereby rendered less liable to
deterioration. Heretofore this object has been attempted by adding to fermentable
or fermented substances such bodies as possess the property of destroying these
germs the objections to this method being that the Antiseptic bodies cannot
destroy the embryo germs, which subsequently develop and propagate, and more-
over the antiseptic bodies themselves impart disagreeable properties to the
substances treated with them-But according to our Invention we wholly or in
definite part, eliminate the above described nitrogenous matters, and for this
purpose we add to the fermentable or fermented substances to be operated on
and at any required stage of Manufacture Phosphotungstic Acids, or their corre-
sponding Salts of varying constitutions and strengths according to the substance
which is to be treated; By this means the nitrogenous matters which act as
nutriment for the putrefactive or secondary fermentative germs will be precipitated,
and the precipitate may be removed by mechanical or other known means.

by the said Edward Ralph Moritz and Herbert Cabry Lee in the Patent
Office on the 18th January 1884.
EDWARD RALPH MORITZ of 72 Chancery Lane, Doctor of Philosophy and
HERBERT CABRY LEE of Park Crescent, Portland Place, Gentleman both of
London in the County of Middlesex "A NEW PROCESS FOR THE ELIMINATION
OF NITROGENOUS MATTERS FROM FERMENTABLE OR FERMENTED SUBSTANCES
"
This invention has for its object "A new process for the Elimination of
Nitrogenous matters from fermentable or fermented substances" and consists in
wholly or in definite part eliminating from fermentable or fermented substances or
fluids those excessive nitrogenous matters which act as nutriment for the germs by
which putrefactive or secondary fermentative changes are caused, and substances
or fluids so treated are thereby rendered less liable to deterioration.
Heretofore this object has been attempted, by adding to fermented or fermentable
substances or fluids, such bodies as possess the property of destroying these germs;
the objections to this method being that the antiseptic bodies cannot destroy the
embryo germs which subsequently develop and propagate, and moreover the
antiseptic bodies themselves impart disagreeable properties to the substances
treated with them.
But according to our Invention we wholly or in definite part eliminate the above
described nitrogenous matters, which constitute the essential food for germs, and
for this purpose, we add to the.fermentable or fermented substances or fluids to be
operated upon, at any stage during, or after, the manufacture, or formation as may
be found desirable, Phosphotungstic acids or their corresponding salts, of varying
constitutions and strengths according to the substance or, fluid, which is to be
treated. We find it advantageous to employ solutions of Phosphotungstate of
Hydrogen and Sodium.
-
By this means the nitrogenous matters which, act as nutriment for the
putrefactive or secondary fermentative germs will be precipitated and the pre-
cipitate may be removed by mechanical or other known means.
Having now described and ascertained the nature of our invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim'is:
The use of Phosphotungstic acids or their corresponding salts for the destruction,
in fermentable or fermented substances or fluids, of germs both in their embryo
and mature state substantially as herein before described.
In witness whereof, we, the said Edward Ralph Moritz and Herbert Cabry
Lee, have hereunto set our hands and seals, this Seventeenth day of January in
the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and eighty four.
