Functional properties of frozen dairy systems and their relation to ice cream texture: a review

Ice cream is a colloidal dispersion that consists of one disperse phase, immer­sed in a continuous phase of high visco­sity. The disperse phase has three main components that provide its structure: air bubbles, ice crystals and emulsified and dispersed fat globules. The liquid phase is, in turn, com...

Sumario:Ice cream is a colloidal dispersion that consists of one disperse phase, immer­sed in a continuous phase of high visco­sity. The disperse phase has three main components that provide its structure: air bubbles, ice crystals and emulsified and dispersed fat globules. The liquid phase is, in turn, composed by sugar, milk protein and hydrocolloids dissolved in non-frozen water. This paper reviews the effect of the functional properties of the different ingredients on the sta­bility of this complex mix, and on the formation of the tridimensional struc­ture of the disperse phase, influencing the microscopic size and dispersion of the air bubbles, the fat globules and the ice crystals that macroscopically give the creamy taste of ice cream.
