Researches On the Chemistry of Food

Researches on the Chemistry of Food

German chemist and teacher Justus von Liebig (1803-73) first gained recognition for his pioneering experimental work in organic chemistry at the University of Giessen. His laboratory-based teaching methods also influenced chemical education across Europe. The potential applications of chemistry in agriculture and physiology became the main focus of his research in later years. In this highly influential 1840 work, Liebig rejects the prevalent humus theory of plant nutrition and argues that crop yield is limited by the scarcest element from the pool of nitrates and minerals available to the plant. By 1848, Liebig's study had been reissued seventeen times and translated into eight languages. This 1840 English edition was prepared by his student Lyon Playfair (1818-98), who presented Liebig's findings to the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Liebig's 1842 publication detailing the chemical basis of animal metabolism is also reissued in this series in English translation.

At the age of thirteen, chemistry enthusiast Justus von Liebig (1803-73) witnessed the devastation caused by a summer of crop failure. Three decades later, Liebig had become a leading German chemist based at the University of Giessen and had made significant contributions to agriculture and medicine in addition to his pioneering work in organic chemistry. This 1842 study in animal metabolism includes detailed analysis of the chemical transformation undergone in healthy and diseased organisms. Although Liebig considers that chemical analysis alone is not sufficient to explain physiological processes driven by 'vital forces', he argues that it offers quantitative research methods that are superior to mere observation. Several of his works, including this one, were translated into English by his colleague, Scottish chemist William Gregory (1803-58). Liebig's laboratory-based teaching methods quickly gained popularity among British researchers and contributed to the founding of the Royal College of Chemistry in 1845.
