Open in WeRead

About This Book

A laboratory manual guides students through the scientific manufacture of frozen desserts, combining equipment descriptions, sanitation practices, and stepwise laboratory exercises. It explains methods for standardizing mixes and testing fat and solids, the use of stabilizers, and principles of freezing, hardening, and measuring swell (overrun). Practical recipes and procedures cover plain, fruit, nut, custard, parfait, and molded products, ices and sherbets, and related preparations; supplemental exercises address microbial counts, gelatin testing, varying ingredients and processing treatments, judging criteria, and visits to commercial plants for applied observation.

EXERCISE NUMBER VII
FREEZING FRUIT ICE CREAM—
HARDENING IN SALT AND ICE

Freeze fruit ice creams after the following formula, using such of the flavors as are assigned. Fill out record blank on opposite page.

  • Receipt:
  • 40 pounds of 20% cream
  •  8 pounds of sugar
  •  4 ounces of gelatin in 4 pounds water
  •  3 quarts pulped fruit
  • Color, if desired.

Flavors: Pineapple, raspberry, peach, cherry, strawberry. Either fresh or canned fruit may be used.

If a perpendicular freezer is used, the fruit should not be added until the ice cream begins to thicken, which will prevent the fruit settling to the bottom of the freezer.

Harden this ice cream in a salt and ice mixture.
