The Project of MARSHMALLOWS

1. The Project of MARSHMALLOWS By Kailyn Harris

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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

7. 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.

8. 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.
