Vanilla extract

oops can any one tell us why this one happens for vanilla.

Sandhya, as i told that Vanilla extract is been mixed only for flavor,so when something is mixed less,we just get a tint of shades.
So,that's why Ice cream has light brown shades.

Ok ronark nice answer.If this is correct or not i dont know.

If so, butterskotch, strawberry etc.....
Why such ice creams have good colour, if only respective essence is only added?

I think i have said a correct answer,that's why Sandhya is not giving answer. I guess i am correct.

Ronark,

I don't know the answer. It's a truth. I just imagined such a question. That's all. I don't have any answer in hand :)

Yes,i am correct. The reason i have given is the only truth behind that white of Ice cream.

well because the amount of cream and milk is in large proportion to the extract to turn the ice cream into brown.......

But again my question arise. Why, it is not happening in other flavours of ice cream?

The reason why vanilla gives light color to the foods is because of amounts of extract actually used. Since natural vanilla is too expensive, right after Saffron, and it gives a strong flavour, it is used in very small quantities and hence does not cause any significant color change in the foods it has been used in.

I think it is the correct answer. Ronark also added a little

this is really a very good informative thread. thanks for the question sandhya. today i have learned something. :cheer:

I think only some drops or small percent of vanilla extract is added with large quantity of cream and milk. Hence the dark colour gets diluted. Thats the reason we see light color vanilla instead of dark.

I think, there is one more reason, though not quiet sure.

For all flavours of ice cream except Vanilla, I think a little colour is also added. In the case of Vanilla's ice cream, there is no need for the addition of extra white colour. Isn't it?
ie. The colour we are seeing is not due to that respective colour of chocolate, strawberry....., but the extra added colour, which is harmful to our body. :ohmy:

What are you thinking?

Finally I found the reason why vanila extract is in dark in color ? The reason is egg is added in it thats why it is on dark in color

Really? A nice piece of information. We start with colour of Vanilla ice cream and reached the contents of Vanilla. Proved to be a nice thread. :)

sandhya I searched alot about this question in google and finally I found the reason

may be it contains only a little percentage of vanilla and also the creams contains several flavours of colours.

I think, more than the fruit extracts, colours are added to make ice creams more attractive, i.e particular colour. White can't be made more white. so, can't add more colours to it. Am I not right?

Vanilla extract is used in making cakes mostly for best smell and taste
