. Notcd Chemist Condemns Blcach. .
ed Flour.
It is interesting to note at this
tiple that as long as May , 1903 ,
Dr Ed ward Gudeman , of Chic'lfO ,
a chcmist of recognized abihty
and standing , and not employed
by anv ' food department , but a
comm'crcial chemist working for
the interest of manufacturers in
general , stated in an artcle in
the Modern Miller , his view3 with
regard to the bleaching of flour
by means of thc { Jeroxide of nitro-
gen. Gu'deman'3 conclusion is'of
particular interest at this tiwe
I and reads as follows :
"The fact that such reagents
as per oxides of nibogen or nitric
acid should not in any form or
quantity be brought into the
humau system , except in medicines -
cines , is enough to ausoutclY ,
condem this process. In my estimation -
mation no miller can afford to
dart' to use the chemicals necessary -
sary for this process any more
than he could use arsenic acid.
which will bleach the flour fully
as well as the per oxide of nitro-
gen. As to the merits of the
process , the miller would quickly
Hnd out that the handling of
nitric acid is not as simple or as
free from danger as the description -
tion of the process would in-
dIcate. "
