FIVE BASIC CONDITIONS. 
Condition 1.—To get the total number of pounds in the mix, 
multiply the desired number of gallons of ice cream by the number of 
pounds expected in one gallon of the finished product. For instance, 
in the first example 5 pounds is the desired weight of one gallon of 
ice cream, hence: 
350 X 5= 1,750 pounds of mix. 
Condition 2.—The approximate composition of the ice cream desired 
in the first example is 14.5 per cent fat, 14 per cent sugar, and 6.5 per 
cent milk solids not fat. 
Condition 3.—To find the amount of solid constituents necessary, 
multiply the pounds of mix by the percentage of fat, sugar, and milk 
solids not fat as in the first example: 
1,750 x 0.145 = 253.75 pounds of fat. 
1,750 0.14 =245.0 pounds of sugar. 
1,750 x 0.065 = 113.75 pounds of milk solids not fat. 
Conditions 4 and 5.—The quantity on hand and composition of the 
ingredients are as follows:

After these basic conditions are determined, write the pounds of 
mix, the percentage of constituents desired, and the pounds of each 
constituent in table form and list the ingredients to be considered for 
the mix as shown in Table 1. 
HOW THE INGREDIENTS ARE PROPORTIONED. 
Five examples of this method of proportioning the ingredients are 
explained as follows: 
EXAMPLE 1. 
Give the proportions for 350 gallons of ice cream testing approxi- 
mately 14.5 per cent fat, 14 per cent sugar, and 6.5 per cent milk 
solids not fat. The weight of the ice cream desired is 5 pounds per 
gallon. 
Stock on hand: Sugar; 150 pounds of 28 per cent cream; 520 
pounds of 43 per cent cream; and skim milk.
