Condensed milk, also known as sweetened condensed milk, is cow's milk from which water has been removed and to which sugar has been added, yielding a very thick, sweet product that can last for years without refrigeration if unopened. Milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the Mammary glands of female Mammals (including Monotremes. Water is a common Chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of Life. Sugar is a class of edible Crystalline substances mainly Sucrose, Lactose, and Fructose. The two terms, condensed milk and sweetened condensed milk, have become synonymous; though there have been unsweetened condensed milk products, today these are uncommon. Condensed milk is used in numerous dessert dishes in many countries.

A related product is evaporated milk, which has undergone a more complex process and which is not sweetened. Evaporated milk, also known as dehydrated milk is a Shelf-stable canned Milk product with about 60% of the water removed from fresh

Background

Condensed milk was first developed in the United States in 1856 by Gail Borden, Jr. in reaction to difficulties in storing milk for more than a few hours. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Gail Borden Jr ( November 9 1801 – January 11 1874) was a 19th century U Before this development, milk could only be kept fresh for a few days and so was only available in the immediate vicinity of a cow. Milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the Mammary glands of female Mammals (including Monotremes. Cattle, colloquially referred to as cows, are domesticated Ungulates a member of the Subfamily Bovinae of the family While returning from a trip to England in 1851, Borden was devastated by the death of several children, apparently due to poor milk from shipboard cows. England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland With less than a year of schooling and following in a wake of failures both of his own and others, Borden was inspired by the vacuum pan he had seen used by Shakers to condense fruit juice and was at last able to reduce milk without scorching or curdling it. Vacuum evaporation is the process of causing the Pressure in a container to fall until Water 's Boiling point has been lowered to Room temperature The United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, known as the Shakers, was a Protestant religious denomination that originated in Manchester JUICE is a widely used non-commercial Software package for editing and analysing phytosociological data Curd is a Dairy product obtained by curdling (coagulating Milk with Rennet or an edible Acidic substance such as Lemon juice ^[1] Even then, his first two factories failed and only the third, in Wassaic, New York, produced a usable milk derivative that was long-lasting and needed no refrigeration. Wassaic New York is a hamlet in the Town of Amenia New York in the Dutchess County New York.

Probably of equal importance for the future of milk was Borden's requirements for farmers who wanted to sell him raw milk: they were required to wash udders before milking, keep barns swept clean, and scald and dry their strainers morning and night. An Udder is the mammary organ of Female Cattle and some other Mammals including Goats and Sheep. By 1858 Borden's milk, sold as Eagle Brand, had gained a reputation for purity, durability and economy.

The federal government of the United States ordered huge amounts of it as a field ration for Union soldiers during the American Civil War. The federal government of the United States is the central United States Governmental body established by the United States Constitution. A field ration, or combat ration, is a canned or pre-packaged meal easily prepared and eaten transported by Military troops on the battlefield Causes of the war See also Origins of the American Civil War, Timeline of events leading to the American Civil War The coexistence of a slave-owning South This was an extraordinary field ration for the nineteenth century: a typical 400 g (14 oz) can contains 1,300 calories, 30 g each of protein and fat, and more than 200 g of carbohydrate. Soldiers returning home from the Civil War soon spread the word. By the late 1860s, condensed milk was a major product. This type of milk is used in recipes for the popular Brazilian candy brigadeiro, lemon meringue pie, key lime pie, caramel candies and other desserts. Brigadeiro is a simple Brazilian Chocolate candy created in the 1940s and named after Brigadeiro (Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, and its shape is reminiscent "Lemon Meringue" redirects here For the song by Poe see Lemon Meringue (song.

A popular treat in Asia is to put condensed milk on toast and eat it in a similar way as jam and toast. Nestle has even produced a squeeze bottle similar to Smucker's jam squeeze bottles for this very purpose.

According to the writings of Marco Polo, the Tartars were able to condense milk. Marco Polo ( September 15 1254 – January 9 1324 at earliest but no later than June 1325 was a Venetian trader and explorer Tatars ( Tatar: Tatarlar/Татарлар sometimes spelled Tartars, are a Turkic -speaking ethnic group or multiple ethnic groups Ten pounds of milk paste was carried by each man who would mix the product with water. However, this probably refers to the soft Tartar curd which can be made into a drink ("airan") by diluting it, and therefore to fermented, not fresh milk concentrate.
