Ice cream, ices, etc.
_Trial_ 2. Empty the freezer can and tub and refill the can with more
of the brine used in Trial 1. Be sure to have it the same temperature.
Using a salt and ice mixture of the same proportions, pack the tub
again and in addition add enough cold water so that it starts to
run from the overflow hole in the tub. Turn the freezer 10 minutes,
recording the temperature of the brine flowing from the overflow hole
every 2 minutes. Be sure to keep the ice-salt-water mixture in the tub
well mixed by punching with a stick such as a sawed-off broom handle.
Again record the temperature of the brine in the can. Why does it
differ from what it was in Trial 1?
_Trial_ 3. Repeat Trial 2, except use a mixture of salt and ice one to
six instead of one to 10. Record results.
_Trial_ 4. Repeat Trial 3 but do not mix the ice, salt, and water in
the tub. Explain the difference in the results obtained in Trials 3 and
4.
Tabulate and report all the data which you have recorded.
EXERCISE IV REPORT
CLASSIFICATION OF ICE CREAM
In the absence of the adoption of any uniform standard classification
of ice cream, the following classification in use by the authors is
given. It is simple, yet comprehensive, and is arranged according to
fundamental differences in composition. This seems to be the most
logical basis for classifying ice cream and is very satisfactory from
a laboratory standpoint. Exercises and representative formulas will be
given for each of these classes.
I. Plain or uncooked ice cream, often known as Philadelphia ice cream,
is made from cream, sugar, and flavoring, with or without condensed
milk or some stabilizer. It may be subdivided as follows:
1. Plain—Flavors such as Vanilla, Chocolate, Caramel,
Coffee, Mint, etc.
2. Fruit—Flavored with fresh or canned fruits such as
Peach, Pineapple, Strawberry, Cherry, etc.
3. Nut—Flavored with such nuts as Walnut, Almond,
Filbert, Chestnut, Pistachio, etc.
4. Bisque—Flavored with Marshmallows, Macaroons,
Sponge Cake, Nabisco Wafers, Grape-nuts, etc.
II. Cooked ice cream, often known as French or Neapolitan ice cream, is
made from cream, sugar, flavoring, and eggs. As custards they sometimes
contain flour or cornstarch. The following subdivisions are recognized:
1. Parfaits or French—Flavors such as Vanilla,
Chocolate, etc., are most common, but various
fruits are sometimes used.
2. Puddings—These are highly flavored with various
dried and candied fruits, nuts, and spices.
Examples are Nesselrode, Roman, and English Plum.
3. Custards—These contain flour, cornstarch, tapioca,
or other similar ingredients, and are almost always
flavored with vanilla.
III. Sherbets and Ices are made from water or milk, sugar, often egg
albumen and a stabilizer, and flavored with fruit juices or other
natural flavoring. The most prominent classes are the following:
