All About Marshmallows

By: Alex Rodman

Marshmallows are one of America’s great inventions that many people all over the globe enjoy very much. Marshmallows were created by Alex Doumak from Doumak Inc.

Marshmallows were originally made by root sap from the marshmallow plant. This is a special herb that grows in damp places or marshes and is found in certain parts of North Africa, Europe, and Asia. The plant has leaves, a fleshy stem, and pale flowers with five petals each.

 Marshmallows were first made by boiling the root pulp of the marsh mallow plant with sugar until it turned thick. After it had thickened, the m combination of the plant would be strained and cooled.

Marshmallows stretch across the time line all the way back to ancient Egypt. The marshmallow plant has been enjoyed by many people in many ways for a very long time. Egyptians have been combining marsh mallow root with honey as far back as 2000 B.C. Back then the candy was reserved for gods and royalty. A little later in time other whipping creams took the place of mallow roots on the ingredients list.

Around the 1850’s France was where first modern marshmallow confections were made .The method that was first used to manufacture was slow and expensive because molding and casting of each marshmallow was involve the process.                                                             

Mass consumption for marshmallows was available by the 1900’s and marshmallows were sold as penny candy in tins. Possibility of huge marshmallow production became legible because of the starch mogul system of manufacture. In this invention a machine automatically fills trays with starch in approximately two inches. Then after the trays are filled it is evenly pressed and smoothed out. Soon a printing board created out of wood molds the mallows into shape. The space created is filled with warm cream.

Around 1995 a man named Alex Doumak from Doumak, Inc., discovered a new manufacturing method that is often still used today. This creation has changed the manufacturing business of marshmallows forever. His machine allowed marshmallows to produce in only 60 minutes this was called the extrusion process. Favorite Brand Internationals (Kraft), Kidd Company, and Doumak, Inc. are the only three marshmallow companies in the United States.

Starch Mogul System For Manufacturing Marshmallows

  http://inventors.about.com/od/foodrelatedinventions/a/marshmallows.htm

The ingredients that are used to manufacture marshmallows are corn syrup, sugar and dextrose. Also Corn Starch, water, gum, gelatin, food modified starch, and whipped egg whites. When these ingredients are combined together they create the texture, taste and appearance. When marshmallows are colorful they are often filled with artificial coloring and flavoring.

Marshmallows are used in many ways like marshmallow guns, and they are used in many cooking recipes. Like cupcakes, cakes, Rice crispie Treats, Yams and much more and they are also used in marshmallow guns.

                                      Marshmallows population has obviously grown a lot throughout the years. They are loved by many people around the world. Marshmallows have become very common in many places because of all of their uses. Marshmallows are obviously a very amazing invention.
