ICE CREAM DICTIONARY

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

Emulsifiers are compounds added to ice cream to develop the right body, texture and air distribution necessary to make the ice cream smooth and creamy. The original ice cream emulsifier was egg yolk, which was used in most of the earliest recipes. Today we use monoglycerides and diglycerides, which are really just substances derived from common vegetable oils like corn. Together with stabilizers -– which aid the emulsifying process -– these ingredients make up just one quarter of one percent of all ice cream.
