  • Characterization of Volatiles in Commercial and Self-Prepared Rum Ethers and Comparison with Key Aroma Compounds of Rum
    CHARACTERIZATION OF VOLATILES IN COMMERCIAL AND SELF-PREPARED RUM ETHERS AND COMPARISON WITH KEY AROMA COMPOUNDS OF RUM BY ERIN E. BURNSIDE THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition with a concentration in Food Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Professor Keith Cadwallader Professor Nicki Engeseth Assistant Professor Youngsoo Lee Abstract Rum ether is a distillate of wood extractives, so named as a result of its purported similarity in flavor to rum; however, despite it being used widely throughout the flavor industry, no work is publicly available that delves into the aroma characteristics of rum ether or explores how they compare to those of rum. With these goals in mind, two popular rums were subjected to aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) in order to establish the aroma profile for typical gold or white rum. Both commercial and self-prepared samples of rum ether were then subjected to aroma analysis for comparison with these results. Ten commercial samples obtained from a number of flavor companies were analyzed by direct injection gas chromatography-olfactometry (GCO) in order to establish an understanding of traits common to most or all commercial rum ethers. These served as a guide when using scaled-down industrial methods for distillation of two rum ethers. In both, the feasibility was assessed of replacing pyroligneous acid, a traditional rum ether ingredient, with liquid smoke, one that is more widely available and safer for use in food.

Some historians have emphasized a continental approach and believe research should look west, toward the people that inhabited places outside the traditional “thirteen colonies” that would become the United States, such as the Gulf Coast or the Great Lakes region.

  • Ch. 3 Section 4: Life in the English Colonies Colonial Governments the English Colonies in North America All Had Their Own Governments
    Ch. 3 Section 4: Life in the English Colonies Colonial Governments The English colonies in North America all had their own governments. Each government was given power by a charter. The English monarch had ultimate authority over all of the colonies. A group of royal advisers called the Privy Council set English ​ ​ colonial policies. Colonial Governors and Legislatures Each colony had a governor who served as head of the government. Most governors were assisted by an advisory council. In royal colonies the English king or queen selected the governor and the council members. In proprietary colonies, the ​ ​ proprietors chose all of these officials. In a few colonies, such as Connecticut, the ​ ​ people elected the governor. In some colonies the people also elected representatives to help make laws and ​ ​ set policy. These officials served on assemblies. Each colonial assembly passed laws ​ ​ that had to be approved first by the advisory council and then by the governor. Established in 1619, Virginia's assembly was the first colonial legislature in ​ ​ ​ ​ North America. At first it met as a single body, but was later split into two houses. The first house was known as the Council of State. The governor's advisory council and the ​ ​ London Company selected its members. The House of Burgesses was the assembly's ​ ​ second house. The members were elected by colonists. It was the first democratically elected body in the English colonies. In New England the center of politics was the town meeting. In town meetings ​ ​ people talked about and decided on issues of local interest, such as paying for schools.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE / ECONOMICS, STATISTICS, AND COOPERATIVES SERVICE AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIC REPORT NO. 382 ABSTRACT The quota system of regulating the production, importation, and marketing of sugar in the United States through 1974 was an outgrowth of Government regulation of the sugar trade dating from colonial times. Similar systems have developed in most other countries, particu- larly those which import sugar. The U.S. Sugar Quota System benefited domestic sugar pro- ducers by providing stable prices at favorable levels. These prices also encouraged the produc- tion and use of substitute sweeteners, particularly high fructose and glucose sirup and crystalline dextrose in various industries. But sugar is still the most widely used sweetener in the United States, although its dominant position is being increasingly threatened.

  • Evidence Triangle Trade
    #1) Explain how economic competition and the exchange of commodities across the Atlantic Ocean influenced the developments of North American societies from late colonial through antebellum periods. Context ● Trade across the atlantic was a leading factor towards the colonization of America. ● It was the leading reason for the Great Britain to establish colonies like Jamestown which produced valuable tobacco and sent it back across the Atlantic. ● Certain acts that limited the colonies ability to trade lead to the American Revolution ● After the US became independent it needed to establish a trade reputation with other countries in order to succeed ● Political figures started to form different views on the American economy and trade that would later affect the interactions between regions . Thesis Statement The development of North American society was strongly influenced by the economic competition of trade from it’s very beginnings as colonies all the way until the antebellum period of the United States. The competition between Great Britain and the other European countries directly led to America becoming the center of trade it is today while simultaneously helping foster the American ideas of individualism by passing restrictive acts and policies. The exchange of commodities through the triangle trade also brought slaves to the Americas and helped America secure it’s economy after it’s break from England. Evidence Analysis ● America can thank the competition among ● Triangle Trade • The exchange of goods • namely European Colonies for making it the slaves, cottons, and textiles • between Europe, Africa, superpower it is today. ● When the original colonies were created they and The Americas were intended to support England and they ● Jamestown • The first permanent British settlement in did for a long time.

One of the earliest forms of sugar taxing “Sugar is celebratory. Sugar is something that we was the Molasses Act, also known as the used to enjoy.
