μm, which depends on ice cream formulation and thermal stress during storage. Ice crystals
of 3 “traditional”(milk proteins and stabilisers) and 2 vegan (inulin and potato proteins) ice
cream formulations were studied using a cold stage microscope under frozen conditions.
Samples were observed before and after a temperature fluctuation (cycles of− 18° C and− 6°
C for 14 days), and the data obtained compared with the results of a melting test. Results …
