Huckleberry

2720-410: The business to others, who operated their own plants. Mass production reduced the cost of ice cream and added to its popularity. The development of industrial refrigeration by German engineer Carl von Linde during the 1870s eliminated the need to cut and store natural ice, and, when the freezer was perfected in 1926, commercial mass production of ice cream and the birth of the modern ice cream industry

2788-451: The commercial use of the various terms according to the relative quantities of the main ingredients, notably the amount of cream. Products that do not meet the criteria to be called ice cream are sometimes labelled " frozen dairy dessert " instead.

2856-530: The court, during the 16th century. The narrator notes that his hosts stored ice and snow, which they later added to their wine. This practice slowly progressed during the reign of Louis XIII and was likely a necessary step towards the creation of ice cream. In 1682, Le Nouveau confiturier françois provided a recipe for a specific type of ice cream, called "neige de fleur d'orange" . In 1686, Italian Francesco dei Coltelli opened an ice cream café in Paris, and

The four- or five-chambered ovary is inferior with a long style. From July to September, the plants produce black-blue, flattened, round fruits with a maximum diameter of 1 cm. These multi-seeded berries have calyx remnants on the tip and a blue-gray frosted appearance. Rarely, forms with white, yellow, red, or reddish-spotted berries occur. The small, brownish seeds are crescent-shaped. This species differs from V. corymbosum in that its anthocyanins , which produce color, are found in both

2992-416: The development of modern refrigeration, ice cream was a luxury reserved for special occasions. Making it was quite laborious; ice was cut from lakes and ponds during the winter and stored in holes in the ground, or in wood-frame or brick ice houses , insulated by straw. Many farmers and plantation owners, including US Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, cut and stored ice in the winter for use in

3060-428: The emulsification, aeration and texture. Sucrose , which is a disaccharide , is usually used as a sweetening agent. Lactose , which is sugar present in milk, will cause freezing point depression. Thus, on freezing some water will remain unfrozen and will not give a hard texture. Too much lactose will result in a non ideal texture because of either excessive freezing point depression or lactose crystallization. Before

In the Pacific Northwest and mountains of Montana and Idaho , this huckleberry species and several others, such as

3264-649: The highest proportions by weight creating an emulsion that has dispersed phase as fat globules. The emulsion is turned into foam by incorporating air cells which are frozen to form dispersed ice cells. The triacylglycerols in fat are nonpolar and will adhere to themselves by Van der Waals interactions . Water is polar, thus emulsifiers are needed for dispersion of fat. Also, ice cream has a colloidal phase of foam which helps in its light texture. Milk proteins such as casein and whey protein present in ice cream are amphiphilic, can adsorb water and form micelles which will contribute to its consistency. The proteins contribute to

3332-502: The history of ice cream begins with sorbet -like non-dairy frozen desserts that may have originated in Persia in 550 BC. A Roman cookbook dating back to the 1st century includes recipes for sweet desserts that are sprinkled with snow, and there are Persian records from the 2nd century for sweetened drinks chilled with ice.

Although many plants change their lignin production – usually to increase it – to handle the stresses of climate change , lignin levels of both Vaccinium species appear to be unaffected. The leaves contain catechins, tannins, quinic acid, arbutin, chlorogenic acid, various glycosides,

3672-465: The pot-freezer method. The exact origin of the hand-cranked freezer is unknown, but the first US patent for one was #3254 issued to Nancy Johnson on 9 September 1843. The hand-cranked churn produced smoother ice cream than the pot freezer and did it quicker. Many inventors patented improvements on Johnson's design. In Europe and America, ice cream was made and sold by small businesses, mostly confectioners and caterers. Jacob Fussell of Baltimore, Maryland

3740-730: The product became so popular that during the next 50 years, another 250 cafés opened in Paris.

By the latter part of the 17th century sorbets and ice creams were made using this process. Ice cream's spread throughout Europe is sometimes attributed to Moorish traders, but more often Marco Polo . Though it is not mentioned in any of his writings, Polo

4420-416: Was one of the few plant species to survive on the slopes of Mount St. Helens when the volcano erupted in 1980, and existed as a prominent mountain-slope bush in 2017. Where the climate is favorable, certain species of huckleberry, such as V. membranaceum , V. parvifolium and V. deliciosum , are used in ornamental plantings. The 'garden huckleberry' ( Solanum scabrum ) is not a true huckleberry, but
