Dried Skim Milk.
Enquiries have been made by Mr H. C. Cameron, Inspector of New Zealand Produce at Home, relative to the manufacture of a new article of food from skim milk. In a report which hehas furnished to the Agent-General he states that the skimmed or separated milk is treated by special machinery ■ to great pressure and beat until it ‘ loses all moisture, and a dry substance remains. This substance is next specially treated, and a very fine white powder is the result. The powder, which is known as plasman, is soluble in water, and can be used as an article of food in many forms. It is claimed for the food that it does not put on fat, but flesh, and that in its concentrated form it is of special advantage to travellers, soldiers in the field, and invalids. The chairman of the company which has secured the patent rights is Sir Montagu Nelson, of Nelson Bros, and Co. The company does hot intend to sell the patent rights for New Zealand, but may establish a manufacturing plant in the colony.—Post.
