1, CHARLES DENTON ABEL, No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of Middlesex Consulting Engineer, and Patent Agent, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a process, whereby all raw materials containing starch
(fruits, cereals &c.) are so prepared that they can be used in the same way as ordinary
malt for the brewing processes, preparation of malt, and other saccharifying pro-
cesses, and that the entire manufacture can be carried through both in a technically
and an economically advantageous manner, on account of the possibility of directly
applying the raw material containing starch after such treatment.
In order to render such raw materials containing starch applicable as above
described it is necessary to remove therefrom a series of bodies, such as fats, pectine
bodies, oils, foreign kinds of saccharine matter as also bodies that form fusel oils and
such removal is best effected by extraction.
By ineans of chemical dialysis the same results will then be obtained as are partially
obtained by the ordinary malting process, and only small quantities of malt are
required for the complete saccharification of the raw materials so prepared.
In carrying out the preparation process, the raw materials containing starch are
coarsely ground and are subjected in an extraction apparatus to the action of an
extracting medium for which purpose hot pure alcohol, alcohol vapour, benzine, a
solution of sulphurous acid in water, and the like may be used.

page_text: Contiguous to the extraction apparatus is arranged a vessel into which the extract-
ing medium mixed with the substances extracted from the raw materials is made to
flow, so that the extracting medium can be distilled off continuously from this vessel
by means of any suitable known heating arrangement within the vessel, in combination
with a contiguous receiver or condensing apparatus.
In the extraction apparatus then remains the residue of the raw material, being the
starch with the cellulose constituents, as also the albuminous bodies that are insoluble
in the extracting medium.
This mixture which still contains a considerable amount of the extracting medium
is now directly further prepared by combining with the extracting apparatus either
below or at the side thereof the necessary apparatus for further treating the said
material containing starch which is discharged into the same from the extraction
apparatus after completion of the extracting process. The said material is for this
purpose in the first instance subjected before the saccharifying process to a distilling
process in the saccharifying apparatus in order to remove therefrom the residue of the
extracting medium remaining in the raw material, such residue being collected and
condensed in the usual manner.
In order to obviate the use of too large a quantity of the extracting medium the
raw material may be treated one or more times with hot water after the first above
described distilling process carried on in the extracting apparatus and before the second
distillation in the saccharifying apparatus.
The main advantage of the above described preparation process consists in the total
prevention of loss of the extracting medium which would largely occur if the raw
materials containing starch after having been treated with the extracting medium
were stored or dried, while at the same time a saving of fuel is effected.

Process for the Preparation of Materials Containing Starch for Direct
Treatment in Brewing Processes, the Production of Malt, and
other Saccharifying Processes.
I, CHARLES DENTON ABEL, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in
the County of Middlesex, Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a process, whereby all raw materials containing starch
(fruits, cereals &c.) are so prepared that they can be used in the same way as ordinary
malt for the brewing processes, preparation of malt, and other saccharifying processes,
and that the entire manufacture can be carried through both in a technically and an
economically advantageous manner, on account of the possibility of directly applying
the raw material containing starch after such treatment.
In order to render such raw materials containing starch applicable as above
described it is necessary to remove therefrom a series of bodies, such as fats, pectine
bodies, oils, foreign kinds of saccharine matter, as also bodies that form fusel oils, and
such removal is best effected by extraction.
By means of chemical dialysis the same results will then be obtained as are partially
obtained by the ordinary malting process, and only small quantities of malt are
required for the complete saccharification of the raw materials so prepared.
In carrying out the preparation process, the raw materials containing starch are
coarsely ground and are subjected in an extraction apparatus to the action of an
extracting medium, for which purpose hot pure alcohol, alcohol vapour, benzine, a
solution of sulphurous acid in water, and the like, may be used.
Contiguous to the extraction apparatus is arranged a vessel into which the extracting
medium mixed with the substances extracted from the raw materials is made to flow,
so that the extracting medium can be distilled off continuously from this vessel by
means of any suitable known heating arrangement within the vessel, in combination
with a contiguous receiver or condensing apparatus.
In the extraction apparatus then remains the residue of the raw material, being
the starch with the cellulose constituents, as also the albuminous bodies that are
insoluble in the extracting medium.
This mixture, which still contains a considerable amount of the extracting medium,
is now directly further prepared by combining with the extracting apparatus either
below or at the side thereof the necessary apparatus for further treating the said
material containing starch, which is discharged into the same from the extraction
apparatus after completion of the extracting process. The said material is for this
purpose in the first instance subjected before the saccharifying process to a distilling
process in the saccharifying apparatus in order to remove therefrom the residue
of the extracting medium remaining in the raw material, such residue being collected
and condensed in the usual manner.

page_text: In order to obviate the use of too large a quantity of the extracting medium the
raw material may be treated one or more times with hot water, after the first above
described distilling process, carried on in the extracting apparatus and before the second
distillation in the saccharifying apparatus.

prevention of loss of the extracting medium which would largely occur if the raw
materials containing starch, after having been treated with the extracting medium,
were stored and dried, while at the same time a saving of fuel is effected.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The method of preparing materials containing starch for saccharifying processes
whereby the materials are first subjected to an extracting medium such as alcohol,
alcohol vapour, benzine, a solution of sulphurous acid in water, and the like, for
removing fats, pectine bodies, and other impurities, such extracting medium together
with the dissolved impurities being then run off into a vessel where the extracting
medium is distilled off, while the prepared material is conveyed directly into a
saccharifying apparatus in which the remaining extracting medium is distilled off
therefrom before it is subjected to any known saccharifying process.
