[6] Recently so-called fermenting-houses, as recommended by L. Kindt. (Cf. Kultur d. Kakaobaues und seine Schädlinge, Hambourg 1904), have answered very well. Yet the chemismus of fermentation is by no means sufficiently explained, and quantitatively and qualitatively, there is a lack of completeness in the analyses bearing on the process.
[7] Special ovens (System Mayfarth) are also used, and sometimes complete heating and drying installations.
[8] This had already been noticed by J. Hinchley Hart; Cacao (Trinidad 1892). It is therefore scarcely conceivable that the “Germination” theory should have held the field so long.
[9] According to Schweizer (Pharmazeut. Ztg. 1898, page 389) these substances would be represented by the chemical formula C60H86O15N4, corresponding to 1 molecule cacao red, 6 molecules grape sugar, and 1 molecule Theobromin.

[25] The husks contain no fat when in a fresh condition but absorb fat from the bean when the cacao is fermented and dried; especially so also in the later process of roasting, when they become saturated with it.

[68] Aleuron granules were first microscopically observed by H. Molisch (Grundriß einer Histochemie d. pflanzl. Genßmittel in the cellular tissue of the cacao bean. They are very similar to the starch granules of the bean and contain within them a relatively large globoid lime and magnesium phosphates associated with an organic substance (sugar) which becomes visible in the form of globules when a section is incinerated.

[113] The determining of the fibre is reached by the Weender method.
[114] For that purpose boxes with handles and having a capacity of from 10½ to 60 litres are employed, as well as the portable troughs previously mentioned. The transport of the chocolate mass also takes place in boxes made of compressed steel plates (Siemens-Martin), galvanised or otherwise, e. g. as manufactured by the Stamp and Press Works at Brackwede near Bielefeld. The firm of A. Reiche and others also make similar boxes.

[121] This extensive employment of cacao butter in the preparation of covering material on the one hand, and on the other the consequently increased cost of chocolates rich in fat, have hitherto proved the chief objection to the preparation of cocoa powder deficient in fatty contents, which we shall discuss later.

[130] The potash now generally in use is prepared from the carbon of residuary molasses, and is technically considered, very pure. It is supplied by Dr. Hensel & Co., Blumenthal (Hanover).
[131] The special model of the Universal Mixer and Kneader has for this purpose (apart from the metal lid shutting down air-tight) a steam drain pipe, which is fitted with a ventilator and led into the open, so that the vapours and chemical exhalations can escape without causing any damage.

[135] The “Machines for packing en masse” Co. Ltd. Berlin, have recently strongly recommended their “wrapping machines, for centres of any shape or consistency, which work automatically, that is to say, it is only necessary to heap the centres in continuous succession in the machine, when they are urged forward and wrapped in paper or other materials, being finally despatched out of the machine automatically. The wrappers may be simple or double, loose, or tight fitting.” Their employment in the packing of chocolate tablets is especially recommended.—And so the problem would be solved! Unfortunately I am in want of personal guidance, never yet having seen the machines in working order, and so not being able to submit any opinion as to their efficiency. Even if they are really able to deal with larger tablets, yet the more critical problem regards the smaller goods, especially in connection with the wrapping in tin-foil.
[136] Flour can be more easily blended than starch with the cacao mass, as the granules of starch are only with difficulty crushed.
[137] Recently in some inferior kinds of cocoa powder a quantity of oatmeal has often been added (up to 5 percent), causing the preparation to thicken when it is boiled with water.
[138] Still better, as less productive of dust, there being a less rapid circulation of air, and also not so wasteful, are the dismembrators as built by Paul Franke & Co.

[180] The solubility of caffeine in carbon tetrachloride is said by Eminger to be 1:100, but Scherr maintains that a much larger quantity is required.
[181] Merck’s Catalogue of Reacting Agents (2nd. Edition, page 88) gives a convenient method of determining the presence of theobromine and caffeine (Gerard’s reaction). We annex an extract.
Gerard’s Reaction on Theobromine.
A mixture of 0·05 g of theobromine, 3 ccm of water and ccm of soda wash is decomposed with 1 ccm of a silver nitrate solution 10 percent strong, heated to 60 C. and the solution so obtained cooled down. It then gelatinises very perceptibly. Caffeine does not give this reaction.

[201] A word about the R.-M. number seems not out of place here. Baier indeed gives it as an average 1·0 but it varies considerably, as his own investigations show (8 tests of pressed or extracted fats), where there are fluctuations of 1·65—2·37. Information kindly volunteered by Prof. Härtel and our own experience convinces us that such fluctuations proceed generally from the Glycerine employed, which has itself a R.-M. number, sometimes even amounting to 1·0. It is therefore necessary to fix the standard of Glycerine used in the experiment, only too much neglected in professional investigations.
[202] Loc. cit. p. 21.
[203] As starting point it may be taken for granted that the R. M. number for milk chocolate is at a minimum 3·75, for cream chocolate 5·5 assuming that 10% cream possesses the R. M. number 3·0 and 20% that between 5·9-6. Various roundabout calculations are so avoided, when the percentages of cream are thus immediately converted into the R. M. number, and the method is quite adequate for estimating purposes.

[214] Comp. Dr. Böhme, The Chocolate and Confectionery Industries, VI 1911, No. 37. The assembly came to an agreement on all points discussed, and it would be well to repeat the resolutions here.
[215] Dissimilar to all other existing definitions and adapted to the new method with slightly roasted beans only.
[216] I. e. about 2·3-2·5 kilos of potash to 100 kilos of cacao mass.
[217] Thus satisfying the demands of the Free Association of German Food Chemists.
[218] Would thus be too little according to the regulations under II.
[219] Cocoa powder may thus, according to international custom, also be flavoured with spices.
[220] Cf. in this connection page 204 and tables 19 & 20.
[221] According to recent resolutions of the Free Union (cf. page 282) the percentage of sugar in chocolate (together with additions for medicinal and dietetic purposes) may not exceed a total 68%; but there is no fixed standard for the fatty contents, except in the case of milk chocolates etc.
[222] The excessive use of cacao butter as an admixture has lately assumed large proportions. In commerce there are to be found many preparations designated as “pure cacao and sugar” which contain only 15 or 20% of cacao with 50% of fat, which are said to met a need of the public, but the maintenance will scarcely hold water.
[223] The Roumanian law admits of the sale of a cacao prepared from the unshelled bean and only precludes secondary admixtures of shell.
[224] Better albumose, or still better not included at all, as this conversion of the albumen is by no means proved.
[225] Accordingly an addition of cacao butter would be objectionable. But with 70% of sugar, admixture of cacao butter is unconditionally necessary, where by the pure cacao material sinks to between 10% and 20%.
[226] Editor’s note: These figures are subject to correction, as they do not tally with the majority of accepted results.
[227] Cf. note on page 294 under 2.
[228] Whilst in Germany such admixture is not permissible at all.
[229] Editor’s note: These values would seem to require some revision, as generally only the very inferior cacaos, like St. Thomé, Domingo, Cuba and Haiti, show a lower ash percentage than 3·5%; Ariba, Porto Cabello, Caracas and Guayaquil cacaos show a higher percentage the same remark applies also to the fibre content.
[230] This also requires revision, as on boiling 7·5 grammes cacao with 250 grammes water there will always be a sediment after the solution has stood for some minutes.
[231] Requiring revision. Cf. remarks on previous page and also the values of raw fibre found by Filsinger. Editor’s note.
[232] Requires revision, compare page 261. Editor’s note.
[233] We would prefer Eminger’s method.—Editor’s note.
[234] Cf. above, § 2, 1 and 2.
[235] The “Deutsche Nahrungsmittelbuch” issued by the Association of Manufacturers and Dealers Trading in Articles of Consumption has unfortunately only complexed matters as it was a private undertaking and has endeavoured to sanction various usages, better termed misusages, such as the use of forbidden preserving and conserving agents, artificial colouring stuffs etc. It is true that the part connected with cacao preparations constitutes a glorious exception, and also that there are recent indications of an agitation to reform the whole code.
[236] Both are designs of the firm J. M. Lehmann, by whom they have been obligingly placed at our disposal.
[237] Hahn-Holfert, Spezialitäten und Geheimmittel, page 300.
[238] Pharmazeutische Zeitung 1888, page 512.
[239] German patent No. 182747 (Jan. 4th 1905) 182748 (May 4th 1906).
[240] German patent No. 189733 (26th February 1906), 189734 (Dec. 11th 1906).
[241] Which would seem to be the only proper employment of the total patent claim.
[242] According to Dieterich (Neues Pharmazeutisches Manual, 7. edition page 191) prepared barley meal is obtained as follows: 1 kilo barley flour is firmly pressed into a suitable metallic (tin) vessel, so that it is about 2/3 full and then heated on a water bath for 30 hours in all. After the lapse of 10 hours the powder is removed and ground in a mixer them again placed in the vessel and re-heated for 10 hours. After twice repeating this manipulation, about 900 grammes of a reddish mass will be obtained which is prepared barley meal.
[243] Apotheker-Zeitung 1900, page 181.
[244] Compare Aufrecht, Pharm. Zeitung 1910, page 558.
[245] The absurdity of this process is too evident to need remark; would it not have been better, if the process had not had the sanction of the patent mark? The treatment, which the cacao here undergoes, is so barbarous, that the product must always be spoiled. The only point attained is the complete gelatinisation of the starch, which by further heating is to some extent converted into dextrin. Caramelizing cannot and will not take place by heating gelatinised starch in mixtures with a dry substance, as it occurs in cacao. But in addition, the claim is weak that cacao so mistreated would be especially suitable for diabetics, since cacao serves that purpose a great deal better. The addition of albumin every properly disintegrated is not at all new, for mixtures of albumin and cacao have existed for a very long time.—Editor’s note.
[246] Instead of which pure milk powder may also be used.
[247] All cacao preparations, to which albumin is added, require a large amount of cacao butter as the albuminoids largely absorb the fat.
[248] The composition of the preparation must be stated on the wrapper as such terms as “Natur-cacao” and “Natur-chocolate” are liable to lead the purchaser astray.—Editor’s note.
[249] Alfr. Beddies, Ueber Kakaoernährung, Berlin 1897.
[250] Plasmon is an albuminoid preparation from milk, to which a little sodium bicarbonate is added to effect complete solution.
[251] Somatose is a nutritive preparation made from meat and contains the nitrogenous constituents of the muscle flesh exclusively in the form of an easily soluble albumose.
[252] Tropon is a mixture of 2 parts flesh albumin (from muscle flesh and fish) and one part plant albumin.
[253] The preparation must also bear on the wrapper a statement of its composition in order not to mislead the purchaser.
