Edible Gum Commonly Used in Ice Cream

1. Introduction As a popular dessert, the taste and quality of ice cream cannot be guaranteed without the support of various food additives, among which edible gum is an indispensable one. Edible gum plays an important role in the process of ice cream production, which can improve the texture of ice cream, increase the viscosity, improve the smoothness of the taste and prevent the formation of ice crystals. This article will detail several edible gums commonly used in ice cream.

Carrageenan Carrageenan is a kind of natural edible gum extracted from red seaweed, which is widely used in ice cream production. It has excellent thickening and stabilizing effects, can effectively prevent the separation of ice cream in the freezing process, and maintain the delicate taste of ice cream. In addition, carrageenan can also improve the viscosity of ice cream, increase its smooth feeling.

3. Gelatin Gelatin is a natural edible gum made from animal bones, skins and other raw materials by hydrolysis. In ice cream, gelatin mainly plays the role of stabilizer, can prevent the formation of ice crystals, improve the texture of ice cream. At the same time, gelatin can also increase the viscosity of ice cream, making it more delicate taste.

Agar agar is a kind of edible gum extracted from seaweed, which has good stability and solidification. In the process of making ice cream, agar can increase the consistency of ice cream, improve its melting resistance, so that ice cream can maintain a good shape and taste at high temperature.

5. pectin Pectin is a kind of natural edible gum extracted from plant cell walls, which is widely used in the manufacture of various types of food. In ice cream, pectin mainly plays a role in thickening and stabilizing, and can improve the taste and texture of ice cream. In addition, pectin can also improve the shelf life of ice cream and maintain its freshness.

6. gum arabic gum is a kind of edible gum extracted from the unique plants of the Arabian Peninsula, which has excellent stability and emulsification. In ice cream, Arabic gum can prevent ice cream separation, improve its viscosity, make ice cream taste more delicate and smooth. At the same time, Arabic gum can also improve the melting resistance of ice cream, so that it can maintain good quality at different temperatures.

7. Compound edible glue With the development of the food industry, in order to obtain better results, a variety of edible glue is often compounded to make a compound edible glue. In ice cream, the compound edible glue can combine the advantages of various edible glue and improve the stability, texture and taste of ice cream. At the same time, the compound edible glue can also meet the production requirements of different tastes and special needs of ice cream.

Conclusion Edible gum plays an important role in the process of ice cream, which can improve the texture of ice cream, increase the viscosity, improve the smoothness of taste and prevent the formation of ice crystals. Carrageenan, gelatin, agar, pectin and Arabic gum are commonly used in ice cream, and the compound edible gum can combine the advantages of various edible gums to meet different production needs. With the development of the food industry, the application of edible glue will be more extensive, bringing better quality and taste for ice cream and other foods.
