In this process, it was most essential that all grease be kept away and the utensils be kept perfectly clean. A smooth froth, almost like ice cream of light consistency, was formed, which was edible and to those accustomed to it of good taste. Sugar was added to sweeten. This froth appeared to be formed from the saponins which were admixed with the other components of the fruit. | Hocking, George M., 1949, From Pokeroot to Penicillin, The Rocky Mountain Druggist, November 1949.
