TROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Food.
I, CAMPBELL MORFIT, of 34 Fairfax Road, Finchley Road, in the County of
Middlesex, Consulting Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The invention relates to the improvement of skim-milk whereby its fat deficiency
is supplied inexpensively and the product converted into an enriched wholesome
food jam combining agreeable flavour with very high nourishing efficiency.
In carrying my invention into effect I take skim-milk, whether skimmed by hand
or by means of a mechanical separator; I put this into a suitable vacuum pan with
a suitable proportion of white sugar or extract of malt and condense it by
evaporation to about one third or even less of its original volume. The condensed
milk is then to be transferred to a suitable pan and a suitable proportion of pure oil
of cotton seed is to be added and the whole stirred until it beconies blended homo-
geneously. This done, gentle heat, by means of a steam jacket or hot water bath,
is to be applied to the pan and a suitable proportion of extract or essence of beef
is to be added and stirred in until the mass becomes homogeneous. Flavouring is
now to be added according to the taste of the operator.
A plain and much less expensive variety of this food product may be made by
omitting the beef extract or essence.
Dated this 19th day of September 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Food.
I, CAMPBELL MORFIT, of 34 Fairfax Road, Finchley Road, in the County of
Middlesex, Consulting Chemist, 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 improvement of skim milk or separated milk
whereby its fat deficiency is supplied inexpensively and the product becomes
rehabilitated as a full milk which may be used as such or converted into wholesome
food jams of agreeable flavour and of highly nourishing efficiency.
In carrying my invention into effect I take, say 100 imperial gallons of skim milk
whether skimmed by hand or by means of a mechanical separator, put it into a
suitable vacuum pan with about 50 to about 200 pounds of white sugar and
condense it by evaporation to about one third or to even one fourth of its original
volume. The milk thus condensed is then to be transferred to a suitable pan and
for every pound of it from about 1 to about 2 fluid ounces of pure, refined oil of
cotton seed are to be added and the whole stirred until it becomes homogeneously
blended.
If the product is intended for the ordinary purposes of full or fresh milk, the
treatment stops here, and it is to be packed in tins like condensed milk and sell as
"Lactola."

page_text: On the other hand should it be preferred to convert it into milk jams then
without being taken from the pan, for every pound of "lactola" about to 1 oz. of
chocolate or cocoa is to be added and the whole stirred into an intimate blend.
A suitable proportion of pure essential oil of orange or lemon may now be stirred
in as flavouring according to the discretion of the operator. The product thus
prepared is then to be packed and sold as "Lactozena.'
Coffee in fine powder or as fluid extract as well as extract of tea may be
substituted for the chocolate and cocoa.
A milk and meat jam of superior nourishing qualities and to be known as
"Mimea" may be made by substituting extract of "beef" for the chocolate, cocoa,
coffee or tea.
In that case the proportion of beef extract should be about one ounce to every
pound of "lactola"; and any suitable flavouring may be added.
In the case of jams, the sugar may be replaced by a dense extract of malt.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The improvement of skim milk or separated milk by evaporating it under
vacuum to a much smaller bulk and adding thereto a suitable proportion of
sweetening material and of cotton seed oil substantially as herein described and for
the purpose stated.
2. The improved food consisting of skim milk or separated milk treated as herein
described to supply its fat deficiency and mixed or blended with nourishing and
flavouring ingredients substantially as herein described.
