Overview

Excerpt from Starch and Starch Products The following pages are an attempt to collect such facts concerning starch and its manufacture as appear to be of general interest, and, at the same time, to draw attention to the importance of this widely distributed substance. The writer has, of set purpose, refused to confine himself either to the chemistry, or the technology of the subject, but has made many references to botanical, entomological, and other fields, such as folk lore, considering that they have equal claims upon the interest of the general reader. For it seems to him hardly necessary to point out that the divisions of scientific study have been made for convenience only, and should not, therefore, be treated as having any other foundation.
