The diagram illustrates how ice cream is manufactured.
The process starts with weighing the required ingredients accurately. Then, milk or cocoa powder is added to water that is heated to 60C, followed by adding sugar mixed with stabilizer and Emulsifier. Before blending and mixing , cream and corn syrup are also added to this mixture. This fully blended mixture is then pasteurized at a temperature ranging from 71-75 C for 10 minutes. Once this stage is completed. the pasteurized mixture is homogenized to 150 bars.
Next is the cooling and ageing process where the bars are cooled at 4C for a period of 12 hours. Subsequently, microcapsules and falvour is added to these bars to enhance their tast.Lastly, the ice creams are frozen by a batch freezer before packaging them in poltpropylene containers. Once they are packaged, they will be stored in refrigerators at a temperature of -20C.
Overall, the process has 13 steps starting from weighing the ingredients to storing the final product in a refrigerator. Not only does this process require a lot of ingredients but also a lot of equipment to ensure the production of tasty ice cream.
