Ice Cream Ingredients

Abstract

Essential for the manufacture of ice cream of the highest quality are ingredients of excellent quality, a mix that is formulated and balanced to provide proper function of each component, and intelligent processing, freezing and hardening of the product. However, the selection of excellent ingredients is, without doubt, the most important factor in successful manufacture of frozen desserts. The clean, fresh, creamy flavor desired in ice cream can be repeatedly secured only by the use of ingredients that have been carefully produced and handled. In general, the more an ingredient has been handled or processed and the longer it has been stored, the less desirable is its flavor and function in the ice cream.
