This brief presentation of some facts concerning the manufacture of ketchup and discussion of the methods for its examination is offered in appreciation for the many favors shown to us by manufacturers. The text has been kept as free from technical terms as the subject would permit, and the results of observations and experiments covered by direct statements instead of giving details and tables.
Nothing new is offered in the method of manufacture, but the doctrine of the use of sound fruit, sanitary methods, and sterilization is reiterated. The position taken upon the method of examination is not new but it is thought proper to present something concerning this phase of the work to the manufacturer.
KETCHUP
Table of Contents
Ketchup is a spiced sauce used for its condimental effect in imparting flavor, or to give relish to other foods. It receives its distinctive name from the base used, as, tomato, grape, currant, mushroom, walnut, etc.
The terms ketchup, catchup, and catsup are used to designate any spiced sauce and seemingly without any reason for the one used other than personal preference. Though the derivation of the term has been attributed to different sources by the dictionaries, there seems to be more reason for the use of the term ketchup than for the others, both upon the ground of its prior and more general use, and from the history of its derivation. Murray[1] gives the derivation of ketchup from the Amoy dialect of the Chinese, the term being koechiap or ke-tsiap, meaning a brine of pickled fish or shell fish; and he states that the Malayan kechap, which has been claimed as the original source, may be from the Chinese, but that the word kitjap, as given by some dictionaries from the Japanese, is an impossible word for that language, and is possibly an error for Javanese. The term catchup given by some dictionaries appears to be based on the assumption that the first syllable ketch is a colloquial form of catch. Many manufacturers use the word catsup, a spelling for which there seems to be no etymological warrant. The earliest use of the term catsup, found by the writer, with any particular significance attached to it as distinct from the other two terms, is by Kitchiner, an English physician, in the Cook’s Oracle, in which directions are given for reducing catchup
to half the quantity, the statement being that it may then be called double cat-sup or dog-sup.
The first edition of the book appeared in 1817 in England.

THE MANUFACTURE OF TOMATO KETCHUP
Table of Contents
It is but natural that a product of this kind should vary greatly in flavor due to the selection and quantity of spices, salt, sugar, and vinegar used, and in consistency due to the degree of concentration and fineness with which the base has been comminuted. Most of the recipes for home-made ketchup call for rather liberal spicing and long cooking so that they have a fairly heavy body. These insure good keeping quality, but impart a dark color to the product.
The manufacture of ketchup upon a large commercial scale is of rather recent development and is confined almost wholly to the use of tomatoes as a base. There was little ketchup of the kind best known at present made prior to 1890, as most ketchup was made by what was known as the natural fermentation method, that is, allowing the tomato pulp to ferment spontaneously and using the solid portion for stock. This method was continued, though on a decreasing scale, until 1908, at which time it was practically prohibited. Beginning about 1890, ketchup was made from fresh pulp and barrel stock without fermentation, the fermentation being prevented by the use of a preservative. The method is still in use. The first extensive manufacture of non-preservative ketchup began about 1908, though a few firms had been making it prior to that time, the pioneer probably being E. C. Hazard, of Shrewsbury, New Jersey.
From the amount of space given to the subject of ketchup in the canning and food journals, one might conclude that it is a difficult product to make, or that it is one of very great importance. It is in reality very easy to produce, but has assumed a prominence among food subjects which it
