ALCOHOL FROM DREAD
Experiments have been conducted in a large bakehouse in the Berlin suburb of Lichtenberg w'ith an apparatus invented and constructed by an Italian engineer named Andresiani, to capture the alcohol given off in the process of baking bread, sa'ys the Morning Post. The alcohol released in the. chemical treatment undergone by the dough in the process of fermentation exists only when the loaves are placed in the hot oven. The steam which arises from the baking bread, and contains a considerable proportion of alcohol, is caught at the top of the oven in an ingenious wmy and automatically condensed. It has been ascertained that about one and a half pints of liquid containing on an average 75 per cent, of pure alcohol can be obtained. This alcohol contains about 15 per cent, of amylalcohol and is ready when it leaves the newly invented apparatus to be used for technical purposes.
