...forced substitution of New Orleans shrimp. This spring the long-stemmed birds emerged from winter quarters ruddier than ever. Their complete diet: a mixture of chopped green 'peppers, cod liver oil, fresh New Orleans shrimp, grated raw carrots, dried Mexican flies, dog biscuit, rice and brewer's yeast...
...Unknowns. At least five other vitamins have been identified chemically,* but no one knows how many more there may be, or what they do. For the vitamins not yet identified, concentrates are made from a list of weird items reminiscent of a Chinese pharmacopoeia: yeast, wheat germ, defatted milk, rice polishings, grass juice and liver extract...
Extrin is made by Extrin Foods, Inc. of New York City. It is a culture of Lactobacilli* (bulgaricus, acidophilus, moro) and yeast (fragitans), grown in heavy cream and buttermilk, which continue to work in hydrogenated vegetable oils. The culture includes natural annatto extract (for coloring) and salt. Two ounces of Extrin will permeate ten pounds of shortening. Together with two ounces of salt, a quart of water and 3 Ib. of butter, this makes a mixture which can legally be called "butter spread." But even without any butter, Extrinized shortening is almost impossible to tell from the real thing...
...synthetic, laboratory-made food called turula utilis ("useful cells"). Said Britain's Department of Scientific & Industrial Research last fortnight: "Our process makes it possible to manufacture B vitamins and high-grade protein in hours rather than the months it would take to produce meat." Turula is a yeast, not of the baking or brewing varieties, grown by germ culture methods in sugar or molasses. It may be served as a soup, powder, flake or paste, may be sprinkled on porridge, spread on bread, mixed with other foods. Its flavor is cautiously described as "palatable." It is rich in protein...
Biotin is so potent that it stimulates the growth of yeast cells even when diluted to one part in 500,000,000,000. One gram dissolved in 25,000,000 gallons of water is enough to meet the vital needs of bacteria. All higher forms of life, including man, also need tiny amounts of biotin for such vital functions as cellular respiration and growth...
