Dehydration of fresh skim milk is done in one of two ways: 1) spraying the milk into hot air chambers; 2) drying it in thin films on heated rollers. Temperature, in the North method, must be carefully controlled. Milk heated above 159° F. picks up a cooked taste and loses some of its protein value. The dehydrated butterfat is made by centrifuging a mixture of pure butter and water at 185° F.-a temperature which destroys auto-oxidizing enzymes. Both dehydrates will keep for at least two years at any temperature if packed in sterile containers. They...
...were trying out another possible germicide-a detergent or "soapless soap" (similar to Dreft, Aerosol and other products widely sold for household and industrial use). Water solutions of the detergent were only mildly effective, so the researchers tried solutions of detergents in propylene glycol, which is a sort of thin glycerine. Results were much better. Then the researchers found that the propylene glycol itself was a potent germicide. One part of glycol in 2,000,000 parts of air would-within a few seconds-kill concentrations of air-suspended pneumococci, streptococci and other bacteria numbering millions to the cubic foot...
