A Treatise On Adulterations Of Foods And Culinary Poisons 1820

A Treatise On Adulterations Of Foods, And Culinary Poisons is a book written by Frederick Accum in 1820. The book is a comprehensive guide to the various ways in which food and drink were being adulterated in the early 19th century. Accum was a German chemist who had settled in London, and he was concerned about the lack of regulation in the food industry in England at the time. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the use of poisonous substances in food, the adulteration of wine and beer, and the use of harmful chemicals in the production of bread and other baked goods. Accum's work was instrumental in raising awareness about the dangers of food adulteration, and it helped to pave the way for the introduction of food safety regulations in the years that followed. This book is a fascinating insight into the history of food production and regulation, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
