The Accuracy Of Pressure Gauges Used On Household Steam Pressure Cookers, Arnold E. Baragar

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

In the pressure cooker, high temperature is obtained by using steam under pressure. Since the pressure gauge is used as the indicator of temperature it is essential that the gauge register the correct pressure. Hence, this paper deals mainly with a study of the accuracy of both new and old pressure gauges used on steam pressure cookers. At the same time, four other phases were investigated: (1) the proper functioning of safety valves, (2) the various methods of sealing the lid to the cooker, (3) the proper evacuation of air from the cooker, and (4) the use of a thermometer …

The Influence Of Commercial Soy Bean Lecithin On The Development Of Rancidity In Lard, Casper L. Berner

Bachelors’ Theses

The preservation of food products is a problem which has troubled manufacturers for many years. A variety of preservatives of a poisonous nature has been used in the past but with the coming of the Pure Food Laws, the use of such toxic preservatives has been prohibited and it has become of importance to discover substances that will prevent spoiling of foods but still be non-toxic. In recent years, the use of lecithin has been advocated as a preservative for fats. Although it is absolutely non-toxic, its suitability as a preservative has been questioned. It is the purpose of this …

Judging Quality In Dairy Products, P. A. Downs

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

In the dairy industry increasing attention is being paid to the question of quality of products. The well established system of buying and selling butter and cheese on the basis of quality by score or grade is practiced in the principal markets of the world. The other dairy products, while not marketed by score, are receiving more and more attention in this respect. As more information becomes available and the judging better standardized, other dairy products will doubtless be sold by grade.

Some Factors Affecting The Cooking Quality Of The Pea And Great Northern Types Of Dry Beans, Edna B. Snyder

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Dry beans of the Great Northern and pea-bean type from Nebraska and several other bean-producing states were studied to determine the factors affecting the cooking quality. A standard cooking procedure with distilled water was used to disclose differences in cooking quality, and the percentage of beans too hard for table use was determined for each cooked portion. The factors studied were: soaking, including time and temperatures; storage, including time and storage conditions; age; size; place of origin; effect of chemical solutions; and the composition of the seed coat. The chemical solutions used were hydrochloric and acetic acids in different concentrations; …

If this study has any value it lies in the fact that the findings of investigators seem to be …

Some Factors Involved In The Manufacture Of Brick Cheese, George F. Jackson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The flavor, quality and composition of market brick cheese varies greatly. Its moisture content often ranges from 37 to 43 per cent. The flavor may be similar to Limburger or it may even resemble that of Cheddar. Such a great variation in a specific food product tends toward disappointment for the consumer.

It is believed that a more uniform standard of quality for this product is needed to materially increase its consumption. Therefore, a detailed study of some of the factors involved in the manufacture of brick cheese may help to improve the quality and aid in determining a satisfactory …

The Effect Of The Nitrogen Fixation And Of Aeration Upon The Growth Of Yeast In Culture Media, Syrene C. Bernstein

Bachelors’ Theses

The subject of yeast has been widely studied from many viewpoints; we can find many bacteriological, physiological, and chemical papers on the subject. Besides the purely scientific work on yeast, there are numerous industrial investigations on this subject, since yeast growth and the products of yeast growth form the foundation for such important industries as the distilling, brewing, baking industries as well as commercial yeast manufacture. The effect of nitrogen fixation has been treated from all of these angles, scientific and industrial, and the investigations include the form in which the nitrogen is most easily assimilated, the manner of the …

Food For Children With Special Reference To Dietaries For Chinese Children, Dzi-Chi Gin

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The chief functions of food may be said to be three--growth, maintenance and proper functioning. Food consists of those substances which yield energy, build tissue, or regulate body processes. The essential substances of an adequate food supply are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, mineral salts, water, cellulose and vitamins Obviously these requirements vary with each individual child, since height weight, shape, age, sex, and nervous tension must all be considered as determining factors in health, while any diseased condition, sometimes unsuspected, presents additional complications. The first special characters of Chinese food is the preponderance of cereal grain of one kind or another--rice, …

Pasteurized Versus Raw Milk In Brick Cheese-Making, Z. Doyle Roundy

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The prime object of the work undertaken in the present study has been done with the view of determining whether or not the quality and yield of brick cheese may be improved by pasteurizing the milk from which the cheese is made. An effort should be made to put brick cheese-making on a more scientific basis and at the same time produce cheese of better and more uniform quality. Since milk, containing large numbers of undesirable microorganisms thus causing objectionable flavors and odors in dairy products, is frequently delivered to cheese factories to be processed, pasteurization seems to be one …

A Study Of Preprations From Buckwheat Hulls, Rudolf A. Zivnuska

Bachelors’ Theses

Industry is trying to make use of all possible material. In an age of great manufacturing plants, efficiency Is decreased and costs mount rapidly whenever a waste product tends to be formed in a process. The problem resolves itself into selling someone else the waste products in a modified form, if necessary. At the present time, waste products support industries to which they were formerly a liability. In the Ford wood waste distillation plant in 1929, over $2,100,000 worth of benzol was sold. This is in addition to gas, charcoal, methanol and power gotten from the exothermic action from the …

Loss Of Minerals In Cooking Vegetables, Sadie O. Morris

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It has long been recognized that vegetables contain certain necessary substances which are essential to the human diet. Considerable attention has been given the different foods as to their economic value to human nutrition, however the information concerning the preparation of foods as to their nutritive losses is as yet inadequate. Considerable research work has been done in certain directions and some valuable data accumulated as to the economic losses contained in the waste or discarded portions of the food material. Several investigators have rather accurately determined not only the economic, but also the nutritive losses, especially those which occur …

Ice Cream Ingredients, H. P. Davis, B. Masurovsky, J. A. Luithly

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Ice cream is truly a frozen dairy product although other products than cream may enter into its make-up. The different ingredients that go into the ice cream mix exist in different qualities, grades, concentrations, and forms and it is desirable, therefore, for the ice cream maker to know something of them if a successful product is to be made.
