Kemember tne famous bla
ck U.S. Botanist and educator
George Washington Carver?
Of course you do, for how
can any black forget his great
contributions to science.
He is widely famous for his
agricultural research and lat
er discovery of over a hundred
uses of the by-products of
peanuts. Why, he originated
peanut butter, oil, soap pro
ducts and much, much more.
But, our friend Dr. Carver
somehow overlooked peanut
drink, and this is where Smith
comes into the picture.
Dr. Huey Rowe-Anderson,
the Chemistry-Physics Pro
fessor at Johnson C. Smith
University, is engaged in the
production of a drink that may
quite soon be found on the
market, peanut drink. He is
co-working on this product
wiin Aivin Midgette, a Char
lottean who is the head of the
Creative Enterprise and As
sociates and the originator
of the idea of peanut drink.
Dr. Rowe-Anderson com
ments that his involvement in
the making of the product
came when the originator was
in need of a chemist to study
the chemical aspects and the
stability of the drink. Through
his research he found that the
original drink had defaults of
spoilage. He informed that
they could not add a preserva
tive to decrease the spoilage
rate because of the chance of
affecting the ingredient itself.
Thus many trials were made
to perfect the drink without
destroying the pleasant taste.
They came up with a new 1
forum la with a new base.
The present forum la adds
up to a drink having the
potential as a non-alcoholic
nutritional beverage, and as
an ingredient in a cocktail
drink. It has a light, brownish
color with a sweet, peanutty
taste. However, tne drink has
colloidal suspension proper
ties, meaning that it is not a
true liquid for it possesses tiny
bits of peanut particles. How
ever, Dr. Rowe-Anderson sta
tes that "if one would have a
true liquid solution, the sub
stance would be greatly affec
ted. And besides, the small
bits of peanuts add to the
delightful taste."
Final tests in stability of
the drink have not been com
pieieu. in oruer ior 11 10 re a
non-alcoholic beverage it
must meet conformity re
quirements of the Food and
— Drug Administration, and a
complete analysis takes an
excellent sum of money.
There are already interests
for the drink to be used as a
cocktail mixture, but it must
be invested in the market. The
drink is rich in protein and
may serve as the chief source
of protein drink for children in
underpriveleged areas who
can not afford milk.
It was served at one of
President Jimmy Carter's In
augural Balls in Washington,
D.C. And if the President (the
peanut pro himself) loved it,
I'm sure it will be replacing
milk or fruit juices in many of
our food stores.
