In the mid-19th century, Eben Horsford, a professor at Harvard University, devised a unique mixture for baking, which he named "yeast powder." Horsford and his partner, George Wilson established the Rumford Chemical Works for the manufacture of chemicals; and soon the plant was producing the key ingredients for the powder. This new "Baking Powder," was the main output of the Rhode Island based Rumford Chemical Works, and by the mid-1860's "Horsford's Yeast Powder" was on the market as an already mixed leavening agent, distinct from separate packages of calcium acid phosphate and sodium bicarbonate. The company grew in success and was acquired in 1950, but Rumford baking powder is still made today.
