The Ice Cream Factory

Ice cream is a complex product. Dairy ice cream contains milk fat, and other components, such as proteins and carbohydrates. Sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers and stabilisers are added during processing to enhance flavour, texture or appearance. Ice cream is over 50% water, from milk or other ingredients. Air is incorporated into the product, resulting in finely distributed air cells protected by a layer of fat globules.
