The general use, at the present time, of cereals on the break- fast table is largely due to the improved condition in which these goods are now offered. Twenty years ago uncooked decorti- cated oats, (sold under the name of oat meal), graham flour, corn meal, and hominy, all of which required long cooking, made up nearly the entire list of breakfast cereals available to the aver- age housekeeper. Today it is possible to purchase at a moderate price cereal foods which have been previously thoroughly cooked, and subsequently dried so that they will keep indefinitely. These are ready for the table without further cooking or, if wanted hot, can be prepared in a few minutes' time. The process of manufacture is hygienic and cleanly and will bear the closest inspection. Starting from the elevator the goods are cleaned, milled, cooked, evaporated, and packed by machinery-. It is very gratifying to find that this class of goods is free from adultera- tion and careless preparation. The processes difi:er in difi:*erent factories and many of them are covered by patents. Some goods may be better prepared than others, just as one flour is better than another ; but there is no preparation on the market so far as the writers know, but what is better prepared than any- thing known to the generation which preceded us. The tables on pages 94 and 95 contain the description of the samples, including name of goods, name of the maker, place of purchase, the price paid, the weight of the package contents, and the cost per pound. The goods were, with one exception, pur- chased in Bangor the same day. It was found that the prices at different stores were practically the same for the same goods. The table on page 96 gives the analyses of these foods cal- culated to dry matter. The determinations were made by the usual methods, and the heats of combustion were determined by means of the Atwater bomb calorimeter. The fuel value is here given per gram. The table on page 97 gives the results of the table on page 96 calculated to vrater content at time of the purchase of the mate- rials. Fuel values as here given are calculated per pound instead of per gram as in the preceding table. 94 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. CEREAL FOODS. o , Name. Manufacturer.

  • Constipation
    Constipation Caris Diagnostics Health Improvement Series What is constipation? Constipation means that a person has three bowel movements or fewer in a week. The stool is hard and dry. Sometimes it is painful to pass. You may feel‘draggy’and full. Some people think they should have a bowel movement every day. That is not really true. There is no‘right’number of bowel movements. Each person's body finds its own normal number of bowel movements. It depends on the food you eat, how much you exercise, and other things. At one time or another, almost everyone gets constipated.

  • A Guide to Finding Regional Flour
    A GUIDE TO FINDING REGIONAL FLOUR “When you buy freshly milled local flour, you’ll find that the taste is so distinct, so beautiful and nuanced, that it will be difficult to go back to the bagged stuff aging away on grocery store shelves. Finding locally grown and milled flours in your region is not as difficult as you think. Visit your local farmers’ markets to see if any sustainable grain farmers are selling freshly milled wheat flour. You can search for regional flour online as well. There’s nothing wrong with having bags of freshly milled flour shipped to you! The following is a list of grain farms and millers in different regions in the United States to help you get started. I hope you’ll enjoy baking the recipes I included in my book, Heritage Baking, when it’s available in the fall!” —Ellen King, author of Heritage Baking CALIFORNIA KENTUCKY MINNESOTA Beck’s Bakery Louismill Baker’s Field Flour and Bread Capay Mills Weisenberger Mill Natural Way Mills Community Grains Sunrise Heritage Flour Mill Farmer Mai LOUISIANNA Swany White Flour Mill Grass Valley Grains Whole Grain Milling Inglewood Farm Grains Grist and Toll MISSOURI MAINE IDAHO Neighbors Mill Bakery Aurora Mills and Farm Grain Revival and Café Bouchard Family Farms ILLINOIS Grange Corner Farm MONTANA Maine Grains Brian Severson Farms Montana Flour and Grain Songbird Farm Hazzard Free Farms Janie’s Organic Farm and Mill MASSACHUSETTS NEBRASKA Grain Place Foods INDIANA Gray’s Grist Mill Plimoth Grist Mill The Carthage Mill Four Star Farms NEW YORK The Birkett Mills IOWA MICHIGAN

  • A Multi-Parameter, Predictive Model of Starch Hydrolysis in Barley Beer Mashes
    beverages Article A Multi-Parameter, Predictive Model of Starch Hydrolysis in Barley Beer Mashes Andrew Saarni 1, Konrad V. Miller 1,2 and David E. Block 1,2,* 1 Department of Chemical Engineering, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA; [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (K.V.M.) 2 Department of Viticulture and Enology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-530-752-0381 Received: 22 May 2020; Accepted: 1 October 2020; Published: 13 October 2020 Abstract: A key first step in the production of beer is the mashing process, which enables the solubilization and subsequent enzymatic conversion of starch to fermentable sugars. Mashing performance depends primarily on temperature, but also on a variety of other process parameters, including pH and mash thickness (known as the “liquor-to-grist” ratio). This process has been studied for well over 100 years, and yet essentially all predictive modeling efforts are alike in that only the impact of temperature is considered, while the impacts of all other process parameters are largely ignored. A set of statistical and mathematical methods collectively known as Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is commonly applied to develop predictive models of complex processes such as mashing, where performance depends on multiple parameters. For this study,RSM was used to design and test a set of experimental mash conditions to quantify the impact of four process parameters—temperature (isothermal), pH, aeration, and the liquor-to-grist ratio—on extract yield (total and fermentable) and extract composition in order to create a robust, yet simple, predictive model.

  • My Name Is Bill Stadtlander and I Own a Small Company, Homestat Farm
    My name is Bill Stadtlander and I own a small company, Homestat Farm, which makes Maypo, Wheatena and Maltex – hot cereals which, as many mothers have said to their children, are good and good for you. Homestat Farm was formed in October 2001 when I purchased these brands, as well as G. Washington’s Seasoning and Broth, from ConAgra Grocery Products. My Company is located in Dublin, Ohio and we have a manufacturing facility in Highspire, PA. where our cereals are manufactured. We work with BCTGM Local 464. Homestat Farm is a small company. Our annual sales are $4,500,000 -- all in the United States -- with sales of $70,000 of Wheatena in California. We have 3 full-time employees and 3 part-time consultants in our Dublin office which are new jobs that were created when I bought the business. In our manufacturing facility, we have 2 full-time employees in administration and 10 full-time union employees. Although I am a small company, I pay a good wages to my employees, I pay 85% of their health insurance, and I have a pension plan for the union employees related to their years of service. I spent more than 25 years working for food and consumer product companies, many of those years making nutritious foods. I created Homestat Farm because I wanted to continue to offer (as my slogan says) “Healthy Nutrition for Those You Love”. I do not know how many on this committee had Wheatena growing up, but I did, and I did not want to see Wheatena disappear.
