Excerpt from Changes in Provisional Methods for the Analysis of Foods and Additions Thereto: From 1902 to 1905
The methods for the examination of foods, with special reference to the detection of adulteration, submitted at the meeting of the Associa tion of Official Agricultural Chemists in 1901, were adopted provision ally and printed as Bulletin 65 of the Bureau of Chemistry. When these methods were adopted it was expected that they would be greatly amplified and changed as a result of subsequent study. Many of the methods appearing in Bulletin 65 had been carefully worked out by the association, but only a few of them were tested by collabora tive work, and in many cases the methods that seemed to be best adapted for making certain determinations were adopted provisionally without detailed investigation by the association. It is seen, therefore, that the methods in Bulletin 65 were adopted as a working basis, and probably conditions would have been simplified if these methods had first been adopted as tentative rather than as provisional.
