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.

THE VISCOSITY AND SWELL

Twenty per cent. cream of nearly uniform quality will be furnished you, of the following ages from the separator: three to four hours, one day, two days, three days, and five days. Freeze a batch of each as assigned, using the following formula, and pay special attention to the swell obtained.

Also test each cream for viscosity by dropping from a pipette on an inclined glass, taking care to have the glass and pipette of even temperature for each trial.

Fill out blank report on opposite page.
