Title: Reading Comprehension
1. Why is it hard to enjoy ice cream slowly? that the treat is hard to savor slowly, like one would a piece of candy, without ending up with a sticky, melted mess.
2. How is Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana hoping to solve the problem? Now, researchers from Colombia's Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana may have found an unlikely ally to help solve this age-old problem — cellulose fiber extracted from banana plant waste.
3. What is rachis? Bananas, as you probably know, grow in bunches on a tree-like perennial herb. Each cluster is attached to a central stalk.
4. What did the researchers do before adding the rachis to the ice cream mix? The tasteless, odorless macro fibers, thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair, were then added in various concentrations to 100 grams of ice cream mix.
5. What effect did fibers have on the ice cream? Even more exciting was that the fibers increased the viscosity of low-fat ice cream to levels higher then its full-fat counterpart.
