5.0 out of 5 starsPASTEUR’S EXPERIMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS ON FERMENTATION, AND ON ANTISEPTICS
By Steven H Propp TOP 100 REVIEWER on July 17, 2014
Format: Paperback
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was a French chemist and microbiologist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization. He wrote in the Preface to this 1879 book, “I am convinced that I have found a precise, practical solution of the arduous problem which I proposed to myself---that of a process of manufacture, independent of season or locality, which should obviate the necessity of having recourse to the costly methods of cooling employed in existing processes, and at the same time secure the preservation of its products for any length of time. The new studies are based on the same principles which guided me in my researches on wine, vinegar, and the silkworm disease… The etiology of contagious diseases may, perhaps, receive from them an unexpected light.” (Pg. 15)

He explains, “fermentation is a very general phenomenon. It is life without air, or life without free oxygen, or, more generally still, it is the result of a chemical process accomplished on a fermentable substance capable of producing heat by its decomposition, in which process the entire heat used up is derived from a part of the heat that the decomposition of the fermentable substance sets free.” (Pg. 48)

He describes an experiment: “If we completely fill a flask of a few litres capacity… with the liquid described, taking care to also have the delivery-tube also filled, and its opening plunged under mercury, and, forty-eight hours afterwards by means of a chloride of calcium bath, expel from the liquid on the surface of the mercury all the gas which it holds in solution, this gas, when analyzed, will be found to be composed of a mixture of nitrogen and carbonic acid gas, without the least trace of oxygen.Read more ›
