Prof. Hunziker of Purdue University gives the following interesting history of condensed milk: This year marks the 50th anniversary of the invention of the manufacture of condensed milk by Gail Borden. The first factory in the world was erected, completed and operated by Gail Borden in Connecticut in 1856. The beginning was small, the process crude and the product imperfect, and it was not until the strenuous years of the war of secession that its value and usefulness as a commodity became fully recognized.
According to the United States census of 1900, in that year there were over fifty factories in the United States. The increase in condensories during the last five years has been so rapid that it is safe to put the total number of factories today at 100 in this country alone. The census report of 1903 estimates that about 1,000,000,000 pounds of milk were received at our condensories with an aggregate output of 250,000,000 pounds of condensed milk in that year.
Sweetened condensed milk (SCM) is concentrated milk to which sugar has been added to act as a preservative. It differs from unsweetened evaporated milk, which is preserved by sterilization at high temperature after packaging. Typically, SCM contains around 8% fat, 45% sugar and 20% solids-non-fat. The finished product is mainly used in the manufacture of confectionery and chocolate.
