Integrated Emulsifiers and Stabilizers:
Emulsifiers and stabilizers may constitute a small portion of an ice cream formulation, but their impact on quality is profound. These ingredients influence sensory attributes, melting resistance, heat-shock control, and storage stability. Achieving the desired characteristics requires the right combination of emulsifiers and stabilizers, making it a crucial aspect of ice cream production.
Palsgaard’s ready-mixed emulsifiers and stabilizers are unique, integrated products that undergo a sophisticated manufacturing process. The suspension of stabilizers in melted emulsifiers, followed by advanced spray crystallization, results in a uniform, free-flowing powder.
Compared to plain dry blends, Palsgaard’s integrated products offer several key advantages:
Correct Proportional Dosage: The integrated products ensure the correct ratio of emulsifiers and stabilizers, guaranteeing consistent and optimal performance in the final ice cream product.
No Risk of Deblending: With Palsgaard’s integrated products, there is no risk of deblending in the bags during storage or transportation, maintaining product integrity and efficacy.
Free-Flowing, Uniform Powder: The powder maintains a free-flowing and uniform consistency, facilitating easy handling and accurate dosing during production.
Dust-Free Handling: Palsgaard’s integrated products are designed to minimize dust generation during handling, creating a cleaner and safer working environment for production staff.
Dispersibility at Low Temperatures: These products exhibit excellent dispersibility even at low temperatures, ensuring efficient incorporation into the ice cream mix without clumping or uneven distribution.
No Pre-Mixing Required: There’s no need for pre-mixing with other dry ingredients before adding Palsgaard’s integrated products to the ice cream mix, streamlining the production process and saving time.
Standard and Extruded Ice Creams:
For extrusion technology-based ice cream products like “funny face” ice creams or multi-layered desserts, Palsgaard offers the ExtruIce and IceTriple series. These highly functional systems enhance stand-up and melt-down properties, ensuring slow melting for a delightful consumer experience. The range caters to various ice cream types, including standard, premium, lean label, diabetic, and soft ice cream.
Ice lollies
In ice lollies, the main functions of emulsifiers and stabilisers are to control the formation and stability of ice crystals and to keep flavour and colour uniform during consumption.
Our Palsgaard® WaterIce series, custom-designed for ice lollies, offers numerous benefits, including freshness, improved mouthfeel, controlled flavour and colour release, high stability (even at a very low pH), and control of ice crystal growth.
Extruded water ice
By incorporating air into the product, the water ice becomes smoother and creamier, and by applying the right Palsgaard® FruitIce, you’ll be able to improve foam stability and melt-down properties as well as texture and body.
Sorbets and Sherbets
Would you like to make your sorbet or sherbet products even more appealing? Our Palsgaard® FruitIce series, made up of carefully selected blends of stabilisers and emulsifiers, can do a lot to refine mouthfeel, texture, body, and melt-down properties. Achieve, for example, a more refreshing, creamier, or more crystalline texture to delight consumer palates. Choosing the right Palsgaard® FruitIce opens up a world of possibilities, enabling texture and mouthfeel to be tailored to match consumer preferences.
