200. — Prepare one recipe of lemon ice. Divide into four parts ;
use the freezing mixture most successful in 199, c, and freeze the ice
as follows :
a. Let freeze without stirring
b. Stir occasionally
c. Stir constantly very fast
Compare results. What is the difference in consistency and to
what due?
201. - - Use the fourth part of the lemon ice prepared in 200,
and add to it a small amount of gelatin (see rule for lemon
jelly and add corresponding amount of gelatin to liquid). Freeze
ice by stirring constantly and compare the result with the ices
previously made. Of what value is gelatin in a frozen mixture?
Could whites of eggs be used ?
NOTE : Would it be possible to use sugar in place of salt in a freezing mix-
ture?
202. — Prepare i c. of lemon ice, put in a pint jar and freeze, using
sugar instead of salt. Why does the sugar lower the temperature
and cause the lemon ice to freeze ?
NOTE : These experiments are very enlightening and interesting if glass
containers for the frozen mixture are used. Preserving jars,
cream jars, or jelly glasses serve the purpose.
203. — a. Prepare one " quantity " of ice cream. Divide into four
equal parts, A, B, C, D.
b. Freeze and pack A in a freezer having a wooden con-
tainer for the ice.
c. Freeze and pack B in a freezer having a galvanized iron
container.
d. Freeze and pack C in a glass jar.
e. Freeze D in any freezer but pack in the fireless cooker.
Allow all to stand 4 hours. Compare as to conductivity of containers.

Fillers in Ice Cream
a. Kinds
1. Starchy, wheat, rice, and cornstarch.
2. Egg, used in French ice cream.
b. Purposes
1. Gives firmer body.
2. Better standing-up qualities.
c. Advantages
1. Increases keeping qualities.
2. Improves texture.
d. Disadvantages
1. Egg and starchy fillers have to be cooked.
2. Cannot be kept in stock form.
3. In excess gives soggy cream.
4. In excess reduces the swell.
Binders in Ice Cream
a. Kinds
1. Gelatin - - animal origin. Dissolved in boiling water or milk
and added at once.
2. Gum tragacanth - -vegetable origin. Is replacing gelatin.
b. Purpose - - to bind the mixture and improve texture.
c. Advantages
1. Prevents grainy texture.
2. Keeps water from forming crystals.
d. Disadvantages
1. Slight inferiority of gelatin may be disguised by other in-
gredients.
2. Allows a warmer holding temperature, which permits more
rapid deterioration.
Ice Cream Powders
Powdered gelatin and gum tragacanth to which is added 2-3 times
its weight in sugar.
DESSERTS 273
Classification of Frozen Desserts
1. Ices. Fruit juices, diluted and sweetened.
