What is the optimum temperature for an ice cream cabinet?

The ideal temperature for an ice cream cabinet is usually between -18 ° C and -22 ° C. The specific temperature can be set according to actual needs. In shopping malls, too low a temperature can also lead to problems such as taste. In theory, the lower the temperature, the better.

From the perspective of the physical properties of ice cream, ice cream is mainly composed of water, milk, cream, sugar, and other additives, which contain a large amount of fat and moisture.

When the temperature is higher than -18 ° C, the ice crystals in the ice cream may begin to melt, causing the texture of the ice cream to become soft, collapse and deform, affecting its appearance and taste.

Do you find that if the temperature is too low, below -22 ° C, the ice cream can maintain a good hardness, but it may cause some ingredients in the ice cream, such as fat, to over-crystallize, causing it to feel rough when eaten, losing its delicate and smooth taste. Natural user satisfaction ranks first.

From a professional theoretical analysis of microbial growth factors, most microorganisms will be greatly inhibited in an environment below -18 ° C. By controlling the temperature at -18 ° C to -22 ° C, we can effectively prevent the growth and reproduction of bacteria, molds, and other microorganisms, prolonging the shelf life of ice cream.

If the temperature we set is higher than -18 ° C, the growth rate of microorganisms may increase, causing the ice cream to deteriorate, causing odor, discoloration, and other problems.

According to the International Refrigeration Association and relevant domestic food industry standards and norms, the storage temperature is -18 ° C and below. It is well known that supermarkets, ice cream shops, etc., keep the temperature of the ice cream cabinet below -18 ° C, in line with industry requirements and specifications. It is also a technical specification for storage.

In actual use, we also need to adjust the temperature according to the specific formula, ingredients, and performance of the ice cream cabinet to achieve the best storage effect.
