THE STANDARDS OF ICE CREAM

• You can't just freeze something and call it ice cream
• Has to include at least 10% milk fat
• Has to include at least 6% non-fat milk solids
• One gallon has to weigh at least 4.5 pounds
• If your creation follows these rules, then you have officially made ice cream

ORIGINATION OF THE ICE CREAM SCOOP

• Alfred L. Cralle
• Worked at a local drug store after a graduation from school
• There he realized it was hard to serve ice cream conveniently
• In 1897, got a patent for the ice cream mold and disher that was more sturdy, rounded so other items wouldn't stick to the surface , and could be operated with one hand
• This invention is now used in many American homes today

ORIGINATION OF THE ICE CREAM CONE

• 1896 by Italo Marchiony, an immigrant from Italy in the 1800s. Invented in New York City with a patent in December 1903
• However, there was a similar creation by Ernest A. Hamwi in 1904 at the St. Louis World's Fair
• He was selling a waffle-like pastry (zalabis) right next to an ice cream vendor. The vendor ran out of ice cream dishes so Hamwi solved the problem by rolling up his warm waffle pastries in a cone shape and giving them to the vendor. It cooled instantly and so the vendor started scooping ice cream into the zalabis
• It was a big hit.

ORIGINATION OF ICE CREAM

• No exact date of when ice cream began, many theories
• Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavored with nectar or juices (second century B.C)
• Marco Polo went to the Far East from Italy and introduced the recipe of sherbet
• Milk cream butter and eggs in France in a cafe, Cafe Procope, the first cafe in Paris
• Roman Empire, Nero Claudius Caesar sent runners into mountains for snow flavored with juices
• During 17th century, Charles 1 had a dessert referenced to as "Cream Ice"
• Ice cream's first account in America came from a letter with a request in 1744, which resulted in our first presidents being served magnificent ice cream creations

THE EDUCATION OF WORKING FOR AN ICE CREAM FACTORY

• To be an industrial engineer on more of the business side of it, (reducing costs, which machines work best, how much labor will be required, improving the ice cream process)
• You must take education at some food engineering or biological engineering at a university
• Not actually the one making the ice cream

COMPANIES IN THE ICE CREAM BUSINESS

• Haagen Daaz
• Nestle
• Baskin-Robbins
• Ben & Jerrys
• These are just some of the companies in the ice cream business
• Can you think of any more?

HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM

• Companies make there one ice cream mix with milk, cream, and sugar being mixed in a 3,000 gallon vat with proportions and mixing controlled by computers
• The mix is pasteurized or heated to kill harmful bacteria
• Add flavor, about any is possible, anything you want
• Frozen and whipped in a giant tube surrounded by pipes . The pipes give off chemicals that freeze the tube so the ice cream mix being pumped in to the tube, freezes but never comes in contact with the ice cream. A blade turns inside the tube, whipping the mix to give the mix air bubbles that give the ice cream mix its structure. The blade also clears off ice crystals that form, preventing bad texture and taste of the ice cream. This is all controlled by computers
• After this, the mixture is frozen but soft so the large chunks and goodies are added in. Then the ice cream is put into containers or molds with sticks for individual treats
• Now it's reduced to Avery low temperature to make it extra cold for the trip when it's loaded onto trucks. It must be cold to prevent large ice crystals and so the ice cream is hardened. Soft serve just doesn't go through this process

How many Flavors are there?
There are so many Flavors that a list of them would be endless. Even the craziest Flavors can be made into ice cream. This proves there is no exact number of ice cream Flavors.

LEADING BRAND OF ICE CREAM IN USA

• Actually, the prize winner of all ice cream brands in the USA is not one of our everyday ones, America actually enjoys ice cream with private labels better.

HOW MANY WAYS CAN YOU MAKE ICE CREAM

• There are many ways to create ice cream
• Like with an ice cream machine, made from scratch, or in a factory
• There are also many variations of these ways.
• You may even be able to invent your own

THE SCIENCE OF ICE CREAM

• Ice cream is a colloid which is a type of emulsion (two substances that don't go together which in is case are molecules of fat and the water, sugar, ice structure with the air bubbles)
• One of the substances is dispersed throughout the other
• Ice cream is technically a foam because of the air bubbles.
• Ice cream also contains stabilizers and emulsifiers. The stabilizers help hold the air bubble structure together and give the ice cream a better texture. The emulsifiers keep the ice cream smooth and help wi the distribution of the fat molocules throughout the colloid.

FUN FACTS

• The tallest ice cream cone ever was 9 feet tall and scooped in Italy.
• Vanilla is the most popular ice cream flavor in the U.S.A
• Chocolate syrup is the world's most famous ice cream topping
• California produces the most ice cream in the U.S.A
• It takes about 50 licks to finish a single scoop ice cream cone.

THE BASIC INGREDIENTS IN ICE CREAM

• Milk
• Sugar
• Flavoring (of some sort)
• Sometimes vegetable fat that improves the structure, texture, and flavor of the dessert

I would like to improve ice cream by improving the sweetener.

Despite being irresistibly yummy, ice cream is very unhealthy. I believe we can improve ice cream by using stevia as an alternative sweetener. Stevia is a plant that provides a healthier way to sweeten things. Large amounts of sugar can do many bad things to you. It's bad to your teeth and can overload your liver with fructose from added sugars that are turned into fat in the liver. This opens up a whole plethora of health problems. Using stevia would be a healthier alternative to sweetening your ice cream. Also, using natural Flavors and colors in ice cream will decrease the unhealthy value. Artificial Flavors and colors are made with chemicals from petroleum, the same thing used in your car fuel, asphalt, and tar. They can be linked to cancer. It can cause a negative impact on a child's ability to learn and much more. This is why using different natural Flavors and colors would be a lot healthier than the general artificial stuff put in ice cream.
