Ice cream is one of the most delicious dairy food items in the whole world. It is my most favorite food. People of every ages like ice cream. It has many flavors and designs. Ice cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners. In some cases, artificial flavors and colors are used in addition to the natural ingredients. The meaning of the term ice cream varies from one country to another. Terms like frozen custard, frozen yogurt, sorbet, gelato and others are used to distinguish different varieties and styles. Ice cream may have this composition:
Greater than 10% milk fat and usually between 10% and as high as 16% fat in some premium ice creams.
9 to 12% milk solids-not-fat: this component, also known as the serum solids, contains the proteins and carbohydrates found in milk.
0.2% to 0.5% stabilizers and emulsifiers.
55% to 64% water which comes from the milk or other ingredients.
These compositions are percentage by weight. Since ice cream can contain as much as half air by volume, these numbers may be reduced by as much as half if cited by volume. In terms of dietary considerations, however, the percentages by weight are more relevant.
