PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or Additions to Flour, Meal, and like Food Stuff's
for Domestic Uses.
I, WILLIAM JONES, of Hurst Mills, Kings Norton in the County of Worcester,
Miller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in, or additions to flours meals and other
food stuffs for domestic uses and is an amplification or development of, and has the
same object as, the invention described in the Specification of former Letters
Patent granted to me and bearing date the 12th day of December 1892 and
numbered 22761.
My present invention consists in mixing with the flour meal or the like, in such
proportions as may be deemed beneficial to health, the soluble salts and substances
contained within the bran, sharps, germ and other residues of wheat which remain
after the removal of the flour, such as the phosphates of ammonia, potassium and
sodium, sugar, dextrine, phosphoric acid and the like.
These salts and substances may be added to the flour, meal or the like either in
their commercial or manufactured state, or they may be derived directly from the
residues or offal of wheat by a suitable process.
According to one method, I incinerate the bran, sharps, germ and other residues
or offal of wheat with water in funnel or other suitable shaped woollen, flannel,
cloth or calico bags or other suitable receptacles. The resultant solution is then
evaporated down to a dry state and the residues disintegrated and otherwise treated
and added to the flour or meal.
If necessary the aforesaid salts and substances may be dissolved in the water
used in the doughing stage of making bread and similar food stuffs.
Dated this 2nd day of July 1895.

Improvements in or Additions to Flour, Meal, and like Food Stuff's
for Domestic Uses.
I, WILLIAM JONES of Hurst Mills Kings Norton in the County of Worcester,
Miller, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in, or additions to wheat and other flours,
meals and other food stuffs for domestic uses, and is an amplification or develop-
ment of, and has the same object as, the invention described in former Letters
Patent granted to me and bearing date the 12th day of December 1892 and
numbered 22761.
My present invention consists in mixing with the flour, meal or the like, in such
proportions as may be deemed beneficial to health, the soluble salts and substances
contained within the bran, sharps, germ and other residues of wheat which remain
after the removal of the flour, such as the phosphate of ammonia, potassium,
sodium, and magnesium, sulphate of magnesium, sugar, dextrine, phosphoric acid
and the like.
According to my method, I treat the bran, sharps; germ, pollard, middlings, and
other residues or offal of wheat with water in funnel or other suitable shaped
woollen flannel, cloth or calico bags or other suitable receptacles. The resultant
solution is then evaporated down by means of steam, or a water bath or dry pan to
dry state and the residues disintegrated and otherwise treated and added to the
8
flour or meal.
-
If necessary the aforesaid salts and substances may be dissolved in the water
used in the doughing stage of making bread and similar food stuffs.
Or the aforesaid salts and substances may be extracted from wheat and like
residues through the agency of steam, applied by passing the vapor through the
mass of residue under treatment, whereby the said salts and material become
dissolved in parts of the condensed vapor.
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 :-
Mixing or combining with flour; meal or other food stuffs, the soluble salts
and substances contained within bran, sharps, germ, pollard, middlings and other
residues of wheat, which said salts and substances are extracted from the said
residues by the processes or in the ways substantially as herein described and set
forth.
Dated this 1st day of October 1899.
