AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
IS MADE BY INDUSTRIAL CHEMIST AT UNIVERSITY.
E. L. Tague Has Found Process for Manufacturing Casein From Buttermilk.
The announcement was made by Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan this morning that a discovery has been made in the department of industrial chemistry that will benefit the public hundreds of thousands of dollars. This discovery is that of the manufacture of casein, a new process for which has just been completed by E. L Tague, a former University student.
The process is for manufacturing casein from buttermilk, which has thus far been a waste product. For many years this product has been made from sweet milk, but before Mr. Tague discovered the new process no one was able to utilize any waste product in its manufacture.
During the past two years Mr. Tague has been working under an industrial chemistry fellowship, which paid him $500 per year. Since the discovery a contract has been closed with the donors whereby he will receive 10 per cent of the net profits of the manufacture of cascin by several factories which are to be established immediately at different places in the country.
The value of the discovery is easily recognized when it is known that in the city of Omaha alone 45,000 gallons of buttermilk have daily gone down the drains, while the manufacture of casein went on through an expensive process and only by the use of sweet milk. The product is very extensively used, some of the most important uses being in the manufacture of glazed paper, brushes, combs, billiard balls, and numerous other articles.
By the terms of the agreement with the donors of the fellowship the University protects them in the use of the processes for three years, after which they are to be published.
