Report of the Temperature Reached in Army Biscuits During Baking, Especially With Reference to the Destruction of the Imported Flour-moth, Ephestia Kü (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781149945049)

This report, "Report of the Temperature Reached in Army Biscuits During Baking, Especially With Reference to the Destruction of the Imported Flour-moth, Ephestia Kühniella Zeller," delves into the crucial topic of biscuit baking temperatures within the context of army provisions during the early 20th century. Authored by John Hartley Durrant, the study meticulously examines the thermal dynamics of biscuit production, with a specific focus on eradicating the imported flour-moth, Ephestia Kühniella Zeller, a common pest that threatened food supplies.

Originally published in 1918, this historical document offers insights into the scientific methods employed to ensure food safety and quality for military personnel. The report presents detailed findings on temperature thresholds necessary to eliminate the flour-moth, thereby safeguarding the nutritional integrity of army biscuits. It stands as a testament to the application of scientific rigor in addressing practical challenges related to food preservation and distribution during a critical period in history.
