Improvements in and connected with the Manufacture of Antiseptic
Preparations for the Preservation of Animal and other Food
Stuffs, for Use in the Manufacture of Butter, for the Prevention
of or Removal of Taint from Animal Food Substances, including
Beef, Mutton, Bacon, Fish, Game and Poultry, and for Use in
the Production of Beers, Light Wines, Aörated and Non-alcoholic
and other Drinks, and for other purposes.
I JESSE ASCOUGH of The Grange Handsworth in the County of Stafford
Gentleman, 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 :-
This invention relates to the manufacture of antiseptic preparations for the
preservation of animal and other food stuffs: for use in the manufacture of butter,
for the prevention of or removal of taint from animal food substances including
beef, mutton, bacon, fish, game and poultry and for use in the production of beers,
light wines, aërated and non-alcoholic and other drinks and for other purposes.
In carrying my invention into practice I take :-
Sodium carbonate dry
Chloride of sodium
Distilled water
Pure boracic acid
Sodium biborate
-
30 parts
1 parts by
weight.
49 parts
100
parts
5 parts
I place the sodium carbonate and water with the sodium biborate and the
chloride of sodium in a suitable pan to which heat can be readily applied and warm
the mixture keeping it gently stirred by a wooden spatular or other suitable means
until the sodium carbonate, the chloride of sodium and the biborate of sodium are
partially or wholly dissolved.
I then add the boracic acid gradually in such quantities as shall best promote its
combination with the sodium carbonate and chloride of sodium.
The mass is then allowed to cool or preferably I transfer it into a circular vessel
and continue to stir the mass until it has nearly cooled and taken the form of
flocculent or "powdery" condition. Or instead of using dry sodium carbonate and
water I may use :-
Sodium carbonate crystal
Chloride of sodium
Pure boracic acid
Sodium biborate
79 parts'
1 parts by
100 parts weight.
5 parts
I place the sodium carbonate crystal with the sodium biborate and the chloride
of sodium in the pan and gently heat and stir the mixture until it is wholly or
partially dissolved. I then add the boracic acid as above set out and proceed as
herein before stated.
This preparation is neoful in the manufacture of butter for the preparing and

page_text: preservation: of: beef, mutton, pork, bacon and other animal food stuffs: for the
removal of taint from animal food substances and other such like purposes.
To prepare an antiseptic preparation for the dryidusting of hams, bacon, and the
like I take :-
I place the dry sodium carbonate the distilled water the chloride of sodium and
the calcium borate in a pan warm, and stir the mixture and then add the boracic
acid as above described and proceed as hereinbofore specified.
Or I may substitute for the dry sodium carbonate and water 83 parts by weight
of sodium crystal carbonate and proceed as before described.
To prepare an antiseptic preparation for the use of brewers, makers of light
wines, perry aërated and Lon-alcoholic and other drinks and such like purposes
I take
Sodium carbonate dry
Chloride of sodium
Distilled water
Pure boracic acid
Tincal sodium borate
-
28 parts
1 parts
45 parts
61 parts
15 parts)
by
weight.
I place the dry sodium carbonate the distilled water the tincal sodium borate and
the chloride of sodium in a pan warm and stir the mixture and then add the boracic
acid as above described and proceed as herein before specified.
Or I may substitute for the dry sodium carbonate and water 73 parts by weight
of sodium carbonate crystal and proceed as before described.
The flocculent and "powdery" product can then be dried in a stove or otherwise,
and afterwards ground to any required degree of finess by any suitable means.
Although I have given the above quantities of the substances to be used as being
the most suitable at present known to me I do not bind myself to the use of the
exact quantities of each hereinbefore stated as circumstances may hereafter arise
which may necessitate a slight alteration being made in the proportions herein
stated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In the manufacture of antiseptic preparations for the preservation of food
stuffs and other purposes heating together in a suitable vessel sodium carbonate in
a dry state chloride of sodium and water and adding thereto pare boracic acid with
sodium biborate or calcium borate or tincal sodium borate (as the case may be) and
treating the resulting compounds substantially as herein specified.
2. In the manufacture of antiseptic preparations for the preservation of food
stuffs and other purposes dissolving sodium crystal carbonate and chloride of
sodium in a suitable vessel by means of heat adding thereto pure boracic acid with
sodium biborate or calcium borate or tincal sodium borate (as the case may be) and
treating the resulting compounds substantially as hereinbefore specified.
3. In the manufacture of antiseptic preparations for the preservation of food
stuffs and other purposes mixing dry sodium carbonate and water or sodium crystal
carbonate chloride of sodium and pure boracic acid with sodium biborate or calcium
borate or tincal sodium borate (as the case may be) in or about the proportions
herein before stated heating the mass and treating the resulting compounds. while
cooling substantially as and for the purposes herein specified.

purposes hereinbefore specified.
