A New or Improved Alimentary Product.
1, BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD MILLS, of 23, Southampton Buildings, in the
County of London, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
(a communication to me from Henry Bourne, of 39, Rue Sainte Hélène, Lyons,
in the Republic of France, Apothecary,) to be as follows:-
The invention has for its object the preparation of a new or improved alimen-
tary product from anhydrosulfamidosodobenzol, which is a salt derived from sul-
famidebenzoic acid (saccharine) which has been submitted to any well known
improving or purifying process..
The said sulfamidebenzoic acid is a crystallized product which has a pronounced
bitter flavour.
By treating it with pure carbonate of soda at a high temperature a salt is
obtained which is cast in sheets and afterwards treated with absolute alcohol.
A product is thus obtained which is called by the communicator anhydrosul-
famidosodobenzol, which is a white powder having a sweetening character and
not bitter.
Anhydrosulfamidosodobenzol being but slightly soluble in the usual solvents, it
has been difficult to present it to the consumer in a liquid form, readily mingling
with other products.
The communicator has practically obtained this result by means of a solvent
which he calls glycosaccharique liquid, which being very dense and having a great
affinity to absorb anhydrosulfamidosodobenzol suits marvellously well this kind
of operation. At the same time it represents very well physically all that can be
wished.
Mode of operation: Into glycosaccharique liquid, heated in a water bath to the
temperature of 60° to 65° Centigrade, the anhydrosulfamidosodobenzol in powder
is introduced. The solution is completely effected in a relatively short time;
this solution takes a yellowish tint, which is the result of a slight carbonization.
This tint combined with the vegetable carmine of indigo gives a beautiful green
color which is perfectly stable.

intestines, the bladder and the stomach. It is eliminated very rapidly by the
kidneys and is of complete inactivity on the liver.
Applications of this product. The new or improved alimentary product is
advantageously applicable to the manufacture of beer, gaseous lemonades, aerated

manufacturers an economy of 50%.

I, BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD MILLS, of 23, Southampton Buildings, in the
County of London, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
(a communication to me from Henri Bourne, of 39, Rue Sainte Hélène, Lyons,
an the Republic of France, Apothecary) and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertamed in and by the following
statement:
The invention has for its object the preparation of a new or improved alimen-
tary product from anhydrosuiphamidosodobenzol which is a salt derived from
annydrosulphamido benzoic acid (saccharine) which has been submitted to any well
known improving or puritying process.
The sand anhyarosuiphamido benzoic acid is a crystallized product which has
a pronounced bitter flavour.
By treating it with pure carbonate of soda at a high temperature a salt is
obtained which is cast in sheets and afterwards treated with absolute alcohol.
A product is thus obtained which is called by the communicator anhydrosul-
phamidosodobenzol which is a white powder having a sweetening character and
not bitter.
Anhydrosulphamidosodobenzol being but slightly soluble in the usual solvents, it
has been difficult to present it to the consumer in a liquid form capable of readily
mingling with other products.
The communicator has practically obtained this result by means of a solvent
which he calls glycosaccharique liquid, which being very dense and having a great
affinity to absorb anhydrosulphamidosodobenzol suits marvellously well this kind
of operation. At the same time it represents very well physically all that can be
wished.
Mode of operation. Into glycosaccharique liquid, heated in a water bath to the
temperature of 60° to 65° Centigrade, the anhydrosulfamidosodobenzol in powder
is introduced. The solution is completely effected in a relatively short time;
this solution takes a yellowish tint, which is the result of a slight carbonization.
This tint combined with the vegetable carmine of indigo gives a beautiful green
color which is perfectly stable.

Advantages and properties of the new or improved alimentary product.
This product represents a considerable sweetening power as 6 grammes of this
product represent the sweetening power of 1 kilogramme of sugar.
It is an incontestably innoxious product according to physiological tests made
with it by the scientific committees of Paris and of Lyons.
It is a beneficial product for the physical economy. In effect, it is an antiseptic
for the intestines, the bladder and the stomach. It is eliminated very rapidly by
the kidneys and is of complete inactivity on the liver.
Applications of this product.
The new or improved alimentary product is advantageously applicable to the
manufacture of beer, gaseous lemonades, aërated or champagnised wines, ciders,
perrys, confectionery, pastry &c. It furnishes to manufacturers an economy of
50 %
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. A new or improved alimentary product consisting of anhydrosulphamidoso-
dobenzol dissolved in glycosaccharique liquid, substantially as herein set forth.
2. A new or improved alimentary product consisting of anhydrosulphamido-
sodobenzol 1000 grammes, glycosaccharique liquid 4000 grammes and solution

4. The process of producing a new or improved alimentary product consisting
in dissolving anhydrosulphamidosodobenzol in glycosaccharique liquid, sub-
stantially as herein. set forth.
5. The process of producing a new or improved alimentary product consisting
