Friedrich Buchholz (entrepreneur)
Friedrich Buchholz (* 1879 ; † 1949 ) was a German entrepreneur who founded the Moguntia spice mill in Mainz in 1903 .
Life
Buchholz learned the butcher's trade from 1893 to 1895. During his traveling years he visited companies in Altona , Kiel , Lindau , Braunschweig and Mainz, where he also gained experience in the technology of meat product production. He has also worked in Denmark and Norway . During these traveling years, Buchholz invented a brine knife to determine the salt content of the pickle , which was registered in the utility model register at the then Imperial Patent Office in 1902 .
When Friedrich Buchholz was working in a Mainz butcher's shop around 1895 , the owner fell ill for a long time and Buchholz took on responsibility for the entire production. In doing so, he came up with the idea of simplifying the laborious and time-consuming weighing of the different raw spices and ingredients depending on the type of sausage, as was customary up to now. He put together a specific blend of spices for each sausage to be produced, which he only had to use with a single weighing, instead of many individual additions since then. In addition, Buchholz's method ensured a consistently spicy taste.
In 1902 the red dyeing of raw sausage was banned. This made it necessary to bring about the red color of the sausage by natural reddening of the meat. For this purpose Buchholz further developed its curing salt.
On May 10, 1903, he then founded the Moguntia works in Mainz.
