.... v- ;/ V ...... K4HK - .' VO * * U XXIII Mundelein College, Chicago 40, October 1, 1952 No. 1 Research Grant Gives Impetus To Scientists Mundelein College has received from Research Corjioration, New York, a 1,839.81 Frederick Gardner Cottrell grant for support of a scientific project under- j taken this fall by Sister Mary Therese, B.V.M.. chairman of the Physics depart ment. Entitled the Determination of Sodium and other Alkali Metals in Foods By Means of a Flame Photometer, the proj ect involves placing samples of foods in a carbon arc and, with a spectograph, making spectogranis which will be studied and the elements they contain determined from the wave lengths present. To determine with precision the amounts of each element present, samples will be used in the flame photometer. Purpose of the project is to make avail able wider information on the sodium content of food. Most of the work al ready done on food contents has been done on mixed diets rather than on single foods, and no previous investigation has supplied the precision which will be pos sible of attainment with the flame pho tometer. After the work on sodium content in foods is completed, it is planned to ex tend the study to other alkali metals. Students in the Physics department may assist with the research and receive valuable tfaining in interpreting specto granis and checking on final photometric measurements.
