Synopsis

Comprehensive analysis of meat extracts and similar preparations, with practical standards and testing methods.

This book presents a historical, science-based look at how meat extracts and related products are examined, described, and judged on the market. It covers the purpose of the investigation, the nature of the samples, and the laboratory methods used to assess composition, quality, and nutritive value. Readers will see how data from chemical tests informs standards and how manufacturers’ comments are considered in evaluation.

The work highlights several key areas: the structure of nitrogenous compounds in extracts, the role of gelatin, and the challenges of separating different protein forms. It also explains how tentative standards for meat extracts, meat juices, peptones, and gelatin were developed and how results can vary by method or year of production. The material is grounded in practical lab procedures and real-world retail samples, making it useful for students, professionals, and policy watchers alike.

• How meat extracts and juices are sampled, described, and analyzed in practice
• How nitrogenous bodies, proteids, peptones, and gelatin are discussed and measured
• How standards are formed and what they mean for quality and label claims
• How manufacturers’ perspectives are incorporated into scientific findings

Ideal for readers of food science, nutrition, and the history of analytical methods in government laboratories.
