Bev makes a good point. Blueing looks blue, and it makes whites a "cooler" (bluer) shade of white. However, we see the result as bright white; not blue, not even pale blue. Perhaps yellow starch made things a "warmer" (yellower) shade of white rather than yellowish. ----Potatoes spoil under frosty conditions, don't they? ---- Perhaps "frosting" (freezing, I assume) breaks down the starch. This should make sugar (the starch molecule is a chain of sugar molecules), which certainly works for making fabric stiff. Just as bad, as far as attracting bugs, but perhaps more effective for getting those really stiff ruffs and winged collars to hold their shape? Just a thought; I don't know. Robin P.
