Ammonia In Baking Powders.
From the Scientific American.]
Among the recent discoveries in
soieuce aud chemistry, none i 3 more
important than the nses to which
common ammonia can be properiv
put as a leaveniug agent and which
indicate that this familiar salt is here
after to perform an active part in the
preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate "f ammonia is an |
exceedingly volatile substance. Place
a small portion of it upon a knife and
hold over a flame, and it will almost
immediately he entirely developed in
to sas and pass off iuto the air The
tras thus formed is a simple compo
sition of nitrogen and hydrogen. No
residue is left frcra the ammonia.
This gives it its superiority as a leav
ening power over and cream of
tartar used alon», and fans induced i*s
use as a supplement to tb j se articles
A small quantity of ammonia in the
dough is « ff-cTive in producing bread
th.it, will be lighter,sweeter and more
wholesome Thau that risen by any
other leaveuinjj a (out. When it is
acted upon by the heat of baking, the
ieaveuiug ga? that raises tb«' is
liberated In this act it uses itself
np.as it were; leaving uo trace or resi
duum whatever. The light, fijflfv,
flaky appearance, 80 desirable ia bis
cuits, etc., and so sought after by pro
fessional co >ks, is said to be imparted
to t hem only by the use of this atrect
The bakers and baking powder
manufacturers producing the finest
goods h'tve beeu quick to avtii them
selyes ot this us«ful discovery, and
the handsomest «nd best bread and
cake are now largely risen by the aid
of ammouia combined, of coarse, with
other leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. If. as
seems to be justly claimed for it the
application of its properties to the pur
po»-es of cmking, results iu giving us
I lighter and more wholesome bread,
! biscuit aud cake, it will prove a bo ia
j to dyspeptic humanity .aud will speed
| ily force itself into geueral use in the
new field to which science has assign
