The Project of MARSHMALLOWS By Kailyn Harris

The Chemical Make Up of This.. Marshmallows are made from a chemical polymer found only in the entrails of jersey cows. Other ingredients can depend on the consumer relations officers producing the products, but can often include traces of ethanol. The hyper-comotacive acid, found in most citrus fruits. Both of these additives are usually found in their most minimalist form, but can still potentially be harmful to some rare acidic-intolerant people.

How The Chemicals came Together?? Today’s modern marshmallows contain no parts of the marshmallow plant though, because the plant is considered a medicinal herb. Instead, modern marshmallows are primarily a mix. Three ingredients: sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin, with the gelatin replacing the thick, gluey substance from the marshmallow plant. The sugar and corn syrup are heated together with a little water to make a solution.

The Chemical Structure and Formula Substance Marshmallows are simply comprised of a sugar solution beaten together with a food gum, such as gelatin or xanthenes gum. You can add egg whites for structure since they are able to hold large volumes of air, their addition allows for much lighter marshmallows. Marshmallows are mostly sugar, sucrose C12H22O11 egg whites are used to form them, they are mostly albumen, a protein consisting of 584 amino acids YUMM

The History of Marshmallows.. In The Nineteenth century doctors extracted juice from the marsh mallow plant's roots and cooked it with egg whites and sugar, then whipped the mixture into a foamy meringue that later hardened, creating a medicinal candy used to soothe children's sore throats Until the mid 1800's, marshmallow candy was made using the sap of the Marsh-Mallow plant. Gelatin replaces the sap in the modern recipes. Today's marshmallows are a mixture of corn syrup or sugar, gelatin, gum Arabic and flavoring.

BAKERY How Was It Discovered??.. The French, who love their sweets, were the first to think of making a candy strictly for adults from the mallow root.  This was around the middle of the 1800's. The French shop owners started making their marshmallows by hand.  They discovered cooking and whipping marshmallow sap with egg whites and corn syrup, created a substance that  molded easily BAKERY

Who Use’s Marshmallows? Everyone The Use’s of Marshmallows Marshmallow's are used in our lives today because their useful at campfire’s, and also Birthday party’s for cakes. Marshmallows are used in S'mores, Mallomars and other chocolate-coated treats, Peeps, Whippets and other sweets, Rice Krispies treats, ice cream flavors . Marshmallow together is very helpful at soothing pain and irritation in your throat. If you have a boil on your skin or a shallow abscess on your gum, you can use a marshmallow to draw out the pus. The high sugar content of marshmallows attract pus cells and bacteria, and other dead matter that build up inside a pus sac or an abscess.

Why were Marshmallows Made? This is a 19th century innovation by a man named Doumak who patented the extrusion process the manner in which they are made in 1948. Marshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt where it was a honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the Marsh-Mallow plan.
