These compounds include; acids (e.g.tartaric acid), acid salts (e.g.calcium acid phosphate and potassium acid tartrate) and non-acid salts which act as very weak acids (e.g.sodium aluminum sulphate). Typical reactions of these compounds with baking soda are; HZQ2H4O6+2NaHC05—~#Na2C4H406'2C02+2H20 Tartaric Acid KHC4H406+NaHC03—~‘KNaC4H4O6 + C02+H20 Potassium Acid Tartrate "Cream of Tartar" SCaH4(PO4)2+8NaH003—~ACa3(PO4)2+4Na2HPO4+8002 CalciumrAcid Phosphate 2NaAl(804)2+6NaHC03v~‘2A1(OH)3+4NaBSO4+6002 Sodium Aluminum I Sulphate "Alum“ Besides the acid salts of orthophosphoric acid, those of pyrophosphoric acid have been used extensively in commercial baking. [I’ll ‘llll,|’ AI 'Illlllll'lfll { The latter were at one time brought under the careful scrutiny of the Food and Drug Administration because of the supposed harmful effects of perphosphates when.injected.into small experimental animals (1). How- ever, the lack of evidence of harmful effects from their use by the ' consuming public over a period of twenty years-and negative evidence I of harmfulness in a laboratory study (2) have resulted in the general acceptance of perphosphates as baking compounds. Moreover,.it has been shown (3) that pyrophosphates are utilized practically as well as orthophosphates for meeting the phosphorus requirements of rate. .It .is therefore evident that certain compounds may not only serve a useful purpose in baking, but may also contribute to the nutritional supply of some essential mineral element. Evidence of the nutritive value of mono-calcium phosphate extensively used.in self-rising flours, partic- ularly.in southern states was further indicated in a comparative study of the nutritional value of various types of bread and biscuits (4). The use of alum baking powders and aluminum kitchen ware has also been subject to criticism and attack at various times. Much of this effort to discourage the use of aluminum products has been of commer- cial origin and must therefore be discredited. The fact is that not very much.is known about the biological role of aluminum and about the limits of tolerance for this element. th has been shown that aluminum could be detected.in the blood of dogs fed an aluminum free diet supplemented with an alum baking powder (5). There was however no evidence of a cumulative effect.in the blood. A study of the aluminum.balance of pre-school children led to the conclusion that aluminwm is not essential at this stage of life (6). On the other hand, it may be significant that aluminum.is present in many tissues of the body such as brain, heart, liver, kidney and spleen (7). Evidently the requirement.is very slight because.it has been shown that one microgram per day of aluminum will satisfy the need of the rat (8). More specifically, it has been demonstrated that the addition of a minute amount of aluminum will accelerate the oxygen uptake.in.a succinic dehydrogenase-cytrochrome system (9). That fairly large amounts of aluminum are well tolerated by rats is shown by the fact that rats fed diets containing one per cent of sodium aluminate or of one per cent aluminum acetate remained.in good health throughout the period of the experiment (10). ,It was the purpose of this study to determine the wholesomeness of a new baking compound developed by the Victor Chemical Company of Chicago, Illinois. The compound was a complex sodium.aluminum acid phosphate to which the formula NaA13H14(PO4)8.3H20 was assigned. This compound will be referred to as "Al.P." throughout the paper. EXPERIMENTAL PARTII .In order to determine the wholesomeness of the baking compound, it was planned to use a generation type of feeding test involving repro— duction and rearing of two litters by each female. Accordingly, several groups of young rats were assembled.in such a way as to provide the greatest possible shmilarity as to sex, weight and litter origin. The animals, which were weighed weekly, were segregated as to sex until they had attained sexual maturity at which time they were assembled (.into comparable breeding groups composed of three females and one male. At least two litters were obtained from each female. When pregnancy was apparent, each female was segregated and allowed to remain with the young for twenty-one days. ,In order to achieve greater uniformity in the growth of the young, all large litters were reduced to seven. Smaller litters were raised but the results were not.included.in the general averages except in the case of litters of six animals. The young were weighed at twenty-one days and again at twenty-five days being continued on the ration used in raising the parents. A comparison was made between groups receiving the stock ration used in this laboratory and the same ration supplemented with one per cent of the baking compound. The stock ration had the following composition; Yellow Corn Meal -35% Ground Whole Wheat ‘25% Powdered Whole Milk 20% Linseed 011 Meal 10% Alfalfa Loaf Meal 6% Brewer's Yeast '3% Table Salt 1% The results of this experiment are summarised in tables I and II. More extensive data are given at the end of the thesis.

Discussion: 46.9 It.is apparent from the data in tables.I and II that there were no significant differences in the growth of the original animals nor.in their offspring. The animals.in both groups appeared to be.identica1 in every respect. It may therefore be concluded that the addition of one per cent of the new baking compound to the stock ration was without noticeable effect on growth, reproduction and rearing of the young. EXPERIMENTAL PARTIHI Inasmuch as the baking compound under investigation would normally be.ingested.in a prepared food, the second part of the study involved the use of biscuits prepared with the baking compound. recipe was used to prepare the biscuits; Flour 400 gm. NaHC03(C.P.) 5 8m. "Al.P.“ 5 gm. Table salt 8 gm. Crisco 8 tablespoonsful Milk 11 fl. oz. The following The biscuits were baked in an electric over at 450° for 30—55 minutes. They were then air-dried, ground and.incorporated in a diet which consisted of the following; Ground dry biscuit Whole milk powder Alfalfa loaf meal Casein (edible commercial) Brewer‘s yeast Table salt 55% [25% 10% 5% 4% 1% The diet was compared with the stock ration using two groups of rats selected and managed as previously described. The results are summarized in tables III and.IV with more extensive data given at the end of the thesis.

This is further evidence of the wholesomeness of the new baking compound. EXPERIMENTAL PARTINHI To determine the availability of the phosphorus.in the "Al.P.", varying quantities of the baking compound were added to a rachitogenic diet, both.in the form of the acid salt and after neutralization with sodium bicarbonate. This procedure was used because of the findings of Zucker et a1. (11) and Lynch (3) who showed that when enough avail- able phosphorus was added to a rachitogenic diet, normal growth and bone development resulted. This use of a rachitogenic diet in the pro— duction of experimental rickets.is based on the fact that when the phosphorus of the diet.is limited in amount and restricted to cereal sources.in which much of the phosphorus.is.in the form of phytin, the inclusion in the diet of a large amount, three per cent, of calcium carbonate will so decrease the utilization of the phosphorus that the calcification of the skeleton is practically.inhibited. The development of rickets is therefore due to a very low concentration of.inorganic phosphorus.in the blood (15). This is attributed according to Steenboch, to the precipitation of the phytin by calcium before hydrolysis of the former can occur; thus the phosphorus.is unavailable for absorption (14). The addition of available phosphorus to the diet tends to elevate the .inorganic phosphorus content of the blood and thus restores the calcifying process. Young animals weighing between forty and fifty grams were fed the rachitogenic diet containing various levels of the free baking compound and the neutralized baking compound. The neutralized form of the baking compound was prepared by mixing the "Al.PP with sodium bicarbonate.in the ratio used.in baking (ltl) adding water and then evaporating to dryness on a steam bath. The rachitogenic diet used had the following composition; Yellow corn meal 63% Gluten :20% Ground whole wheat 10% Yeast 3% C30 03 3% Table salt 1% .In view of the fact that 1 gram of "Al.P." was equivalent to 1.54 grams of the neutralized "Al.P.", the baking compound was added to the rachitogenic diet in the quantities of l, 2, 3 and 4 per cent by weight; the neutralized compound was added in quantities of 1.54,'2.68 and 4.02% by weight. The animals were weighed once a week and sacrificed at the end of the fourth week at which time blood samples were taken and one femur dissected from each animal. The blood was analyzed for.inorganic phosphorus using the Youngburg method and the Fischer photoelectric colorimeter using the 425 mu filter. The method was modified to the extent of using a blank and allowing the blank, standard and unknown to stand for five minutes.instead of one minute. The per cent trans- mission was converted to Optical density using the table on page 472 in "Practical Physiological Chemistry" by Hawk, Oser and Summerson. The milligrams per cent of phosphorus was calculated by the formula; Concentration of Unknown—Density of Unknown x Concn x 100 Density of Standard of MGM % Standard The dissected femora, cleared of adhering tissue, were extracted with 95% ethanol and ashed. The summarized results are given in table V and more detailed data are given at the end of the thesis. (PP 23) ill I l i .III I I'll" III-Ill Ii.

Discussion: It is evident from the results shown in table V that with an .increase.in the amount of "Al.P.", either as the acid salt or the neutralized form, added to the basal diet there.is an.increase.in blood phosphorus, bone ash and weight gained over the four-week period. This .increase reaches a maximum with the 3% level for the acid salt and the '2.68% level for the neutralized form. This.indicates that the phos- phorus.in the neutralized form.is more effectively utilized than that of the acid salt. Further evidence of this difference.in availability .is indicated by the fact that adverse effects are attained at levels of 4% of the acid salt and 4.02% of the neutralized form,.inasmuch as the 4.02% of the latter supplies the same amount of phosphorus as 5% of the acid salt. It is known that the addition of acid to a rachitogenic diet affects the degree of rickets developed in rats so that the dif- ferences observed between the two forms may perhaps be due to this factor. The fact that both forms are readily assimilated.indicates that this baking compound may be considered as a potential source of phosphorus in human diets. ll 12 SUMMARY: 1. The addition of one per cent of the sodium aluminum acid phosphate to a normal diet has no.ill effects whatsoever in rats as judged by growth, reproduction and rearing of young. 2. A diet containing fifty-five per cent of biscuits prepared with this baking compound supported normal growth, reproduction and rearing of young in rats. 3. The new baking compound may therefore be regarded as whole- some. 4. The addition of the sodium aluminum acid phosphate or.its neutralized form to a rachitogenic diet.indicated that the phosphorus supplied by either form was readily available. 5. The new baking compound, sodium aluminum acid phosphate, is therefore a potential source of phosphorus for nutritional purposes. 6. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13 Crawford, A.
