Excerpt from Starches Used in Cotton Mills, and Their AdulterationsEarly in June two samples of starch were sent to this Laboratory for examination. One sample was represented to be potato starch and the other corn starch.The corn starch was found to be as represented, but very little potato starch was found in the sample represented to be potato starch. The product was mainly corn starch.This led to the belief that perhaps a mixture of corn and potato starch was being sold for pure potato starch.After some correspondence with the sender of these samples as to their price and use, it was decided to investigate the quality of the different starches offered for sale in this State.With this object in view, the following circular-letter was sent out to about eighty weaving mills.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
