In 1866, French emperor Napoleon III. was considering the fact that no war can be won without strong and healthy soldiers. As an energy source, the French army was relying on nutritious butter, among other things. But butter had the disadvantage of being expensive and turning rancid quite quickly in a time without cooling facilities.
So that year, the Emperor offered a reward of 100.000 Goldfranc to anyone who could come up with a suitable, cheap replacement. Three years later, a chemist Mège-Mouriès presented the solution: A mixture of beef fat, salt, sulfate of soda, gastric juices of a pig, and a little cream, all heated and mixed into a butter-like substance.
At first, he dubbed his invention “beurre économique”, the cheap butter, but changed his mind. He renamed the mixture “oleomargarine”, from the Latin “oleum”, meaning beef fat, and the Greek “margaron”, meaning pearl, because of its pearly shine. That name was later shortened to “margarine”.
Mège-Mouriès invention had the texture of a jelly, but at least it tasted like butter and won him Napoleon´s prize. The product didn´t really take off, though. In 1871, Mège-Mouriès sold the patent to a Dutch company called Jurgens which eventually became part of Unilever, still one of the leading manufacturers of margarine to this day.
