Ice cream is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It is usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors. It is typically sweetened with sugar or sugar substitutes. Typically, flavourings and colourings are added in addition to stabilizers. The mixture is stirred to incorporate air spaces and cooled below the freezing point of water to prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperatures (< 2 °C or 35 °F). It becomes more malleable as its temperature increases.
The meaning of the phrase "ice cream" varies from one country to another. Phrases such as "frozen custard", "frozen yogurt", "sorbet", "gelato" and others are used to distinguish different varieties and styles. In some countries, such as the United States, the phrase "ice cream" applies only to a specific variety, and most governments regulate the commercial use of the various terms according to the relative quantities of the main ingredients, notably the amount of cream. Products that do not meet the criteria to be called ice cream are labelled "frozen dairy dessert" instead. In other countries, such as Italy and Argentina, one word is used for all variants. Analogues made from dairy alternatives, such as goat's or sheep's milk, or milk substitutes, are available for those who are lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy protein, or vegan.
Ice cream may be served in dishes, for eating with a spoon, or in cones, which are licked. Ice cream may be served with other desserts, such as apple pie. Ice cream is used to prepare other desserts, including ice cream floats, sundaes, milkshakes, ice cream cakes and even baked items, such as Baked Alaska.
3. INTRODUCTION
Origins in Europe
In 1851 first wholesale ice cream industry in the US States
was established in Baltimore, Maryland.
Evolved from iced beverages and water ices
U.S. residents consume 1.5 billion gallons of ice cream U.S. residents consume 1.5 billion gallons of ice cream
each year; that’s roughly 5 gallons (19 liters) per person!
4. HistoryHistory
The history of ice cream is closely associated with the
development of refrigeration techniques and can thus
be traced in several stages:
Cooling food and drink it after mixing it with snow or ice.
Dissolving salts in water produces cooling.Dissolving salts in water produces cooling.
Mixing salts and snow or ice cools even further -in mid to late
17th century, the inclusion of cream in the water ices also
evolved around this time.
The invention of the ice cream maker in the mid 19th century
5. DEFINITIONDEFINITION
Ice cream is a frozen dairy product made by suitable
blending and processing of cream and other milk
products, together with sugar and flavour, with or
without stabilizer or colour, and with the
incorporation of air during the freezing process.
.
incorporation of air during the freezing process.
Ice cream is a dairy based product which typically
contains 6-12% fat, 7.5-11.5% non-fat milk solids and
13-18% sugars. Stabilizers, emulsifiers colours and
flavours are also added.

7. Consumption/Production of Ice CreamConsumption/Production of Ice Cream
The ice-cream market in india is estimated at approximately $450 million in
2009-10.Growing at approximately 12-15 percent, it is expected to cross $900
million by 2014-15. The branded market is estimated at approximately $200

of the unfrozen ice cream.
Examples are vanilla, coffee, maple and caramel ice
cream.

at a temperature of about -4°C compared to ice cream, which is stored at -15°C.
17. FANCIFUL- ICE CREAM
These products usually do not contain a single characterizing
flavour, but the flavour is due to the mixture of several flavouring ingredients.
Two or more distinct flavours are present in the same package.

33. - They act to reduce the interfacial tension or
the force which exists between
the two phases of the emulsion.
- This causes a desorption of protein
from the fat droplet surface, which
promotes a destabilization of the
fat emulsion (due to a weaker
membrane) leading to a smooth,
dry product with good
meltdown propertiesmeltdown properties

Good quality materials are essential if the resultant product need to be
satisfactory in all aspects. The raw ingredients necessary to provide the
components of ice cream must contain sufficient fat and milk solids in
proportions that can be combined to make a mix of the desired composition
Selection of ingredients depends on theirSelection of ingredients depends on their

43. MAKING / BLENDING THE MIXMAKING / BLENDING THE MIX
The ingredients to be blended are taken in a vat, where it can be heated to
facilitate dissolving, blending.
Mixing process varies from a small batch operation type to a large scale
automatic continuous type depending upon the amount of mix to be
processed.
Liquid ingredients are mixed together and heated to 49°C prior to theLiquid ingredients are mixed together and heated to 49°C prior to the
addition of all dry ingredients.
Sodium alginate is mixed with a portion of sugar and slowly added to the
liquid maintained at 71.1°C at a moving agitator point.
When gelatin is used, it should be dissolved in nine times water by weight
with equal volumes of sugar before the liquid temperature reaches 49°C.
If butter, plastic cream, frozen cream or other frozen products are used,
they should be cut into small pieces and allowed for complete melting
before pasteurization.
44. PASTEURIZATIONPASTEURIZATION
Destroy all the pathogenic bacteria in the mix so as to render the final
product safe for human consumption.
Most hydrolytic enzymes, even the natural ones of raw milk, that could
damage flavor and texture are destroyed by pasteurization.

It produces a more uniform productIt produces a more uniform product
46. HOMOGENIZING THE MIXHOMOGENIZING THE MIX
Most essential step to make a permanent and uniform
suspension of the fat by reducing the size of the fat droplets
to a very small diameter, preferably not more than 2 µm.
Usually done at temperature ranging from 63 to77°c.
Pressure of 2000 to 2500 psi (135 to 170 kg/cm2) with one
valve or 2500 to 3000 psi (170 to 200 kg/cm2) on the first and
500 psi ( 35 kg/cm2) on the second stage will usually give
good results for an average mix.
47. Advantages of homogenizationAdvantages of homogenization
Never allow the fat to form the cream layer
More uniform ice cream
Smoother texture
Improved whipping ability
Shorter ageing periodShorter ageing period
Less opportunity for churning to occur in freezer
Less stabilizer is required
48. Cooling and ageing the mixCooling and ageing the mix
The mix is aged for between 4 – 24 hours at 2 – 5°C under
continuous agitation. During the aging process, the following
occur:
1. Stabilizer draws water and takes full effect
2. Butter fat solidies and crystallize2. Butter fat solidies and crystallize
3. The proteins also impart stabilization effect by drawing
water and swelling.
4. Very little air in the mix results into a soggy and heavy ice
cream.
49. The changes that occurs during ageing
Hydration of milk proteins and stabilizers
Crystallization of fats
Absorption of water by any added hydrocolloids
