Edible Antifreeze For Smoother Ice Cream

holy_calamity writes "Proteins extracted from gelatin can dramatically improve the quality of ice cream by preventing the growth of ice crystals that ruin its texture. Perfect smooth ice cream has ice crystals around 20 microns in size, but slight thawing and refreezing makes them grow and ruins the mouth feel, making it gritty. The new proteins are similar to those in the blood of the snow flea, an insect able to keep active in sub-zero temperatures." Here are the abstract and the full article as published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Mmm, Delicious

Edible Anti-Freeze?

I've always just used car anti-freeze in my ice cream. It's an acquired taste, but it is really delicious!

In my day...we had to mix in ethylene glycol by hand with a leaden spoon... You kids get off my lawn!

Well, that explains the dementia. Now put down the TV remote, and stop yelling at the microwave oven.

Even better, we'll have cattle that don't need to be brought in for the winter.

Re:Mmm, Delicious

[peragrin]

no the paint adds color and creamyness, and that sticks to your ribs feeling. Oh and don't forget the nice buzz.

When I was younger, we made it at home from real milk, sugar and a bit of flavoring agent in a hand-turned ice-cream maker and it was yuumm. Very different from the goo they sell today

Shall I get off your lawn? ;)
