Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides simple methods for detecting food adulteration. In a time when food adulteration was rampant, the author aimed to empower readers with simple techniques to safeguard their health. It is a guide to testing food purity at home. Historically, there was great concern over food adulteration, since there was an alarming rate of foodborne illnesses and fraud. One of the most common problems was milk adulteration, where water was often added to increase profits. The author provides a lactometer test to determine the presence of added water. The book also includes a creamometer to determine if milk has been skimmed. Cream was often removed from milk and sold separately, leaving behind only the low-fat milk.

It is a remarkably insightful book for its time and remains relevant for safeguarding food quality even today.
