An Improved Diastasic Preparation to be Employed in the
Manufacture of Bread, Biscuits, and the like.
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 Arthur Dalmote, of 19, Rue de Haerne, Ypres,
in the Kingdom of Belgium, Gentleman), to be as follows:-
The invention has for its object the production by a simplified process of an
improved diastasic preparation to enhance fermentation in the manufacture of
bread, biscuits and the like.
To make this preparation I employ green or undried malt in the manufacture
of which I allow the plumule a greater development than usual in order to obtain
a large proportion of diastase.
I grind this green malt in cylinders or other grinding or crushing machines
and during the grinding I cause a small stream of cold water to flow thereon.
From the exit of the grinding machine the milk of malt is delivered to one
or several screens to separate therefrom the husk, germs and other impurities.
I thus obtain a purified milk of malt containing the starch and the proteine
matters of the barley which have been rendered soluble by the process of ger-
mination, and also the whole of the diastase.
This milk of malt mixed with a little yeast and added when kneading will
set up in the dough a healthy and rapid fermentation and will ensure in the
bread, biscuit &c. a superior quality and at the same time an economy in time.
To ensure a better preservation of this purified milk of malt I deliver it from
the exit of the screens to a carbonic acid gas saturator, when the saturation is
complete I run it into bottles or other receivers provided with hermetic closing
means.

performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. An improved diastaslé preparation consisting of a purified milk of malt
obtained by the following process, namely, green malt in which the plumule has]
been allowed a greater development than usual. is ground in the presence of a
small stream of cold water, and from the exit of the grinding machine the milk
of malt is delivered to a screen or screens to separate therefrom the husk, germs
and other impurities, substantially as herein set forth.
2. An improved diastasic preparation consisting of a purified milk of malt
obtained by the process herein before described, saturated with carbonic acid gas
and hermetically enclosed in bottles or other receivers, substantially as herein
set forth.
