Improving form-stability of extruded ice cream with CREMODAN® ShapePro Great ice cream quality is the result of having good raw materials and ingredients, the right processing and distribution system. For extruded ice cream products, dryness on extrusion and form-stability are essential elements in being able to produce high quality products. By Mads Wiene, Application Specialist, Ice Cream Application, DuPont Nutrition & Health
Today, waste related to rejected extruded ice cream products that do not live up to internal quality standards of shape and appearance, is a significant problem in the ice cream industry. Consistently having the right shape and appearance of products is one of the parameters that can be used by ice cream manufacturers to ensure customer loyalty towards their brands. Waste in relation to out or off specification products is often seen in products that are extruded, where the right shape and appearance is extremely crucial for the final product quality, and the expectation of the end-consumers.

CREMODAN® ShapePro Sharp lines, the possibility of precise shaping and high ice cream quality are important when producing extruded ice cream products, but it can sometimes be a challenge especially if the ice cream is made from a low-cost recipe. CREMODAN® ShapePro Emulsifier & Stabiliser System can be the tool needed to solve the production challenges of extruded ice cream, and therefore also the possibility to decrease waste from production because of imperfect quality of the shape and appearance of the product.
Thanks to its specially selected composition of emulsifiers and stabilisers, CREMODAN ® ShapePro secures high ice cream shape stability, increases dryness on extrusion, and improves meltdown resistance and compensates for the loss of quality that is often experienced with low-cost recipes.
Enhanced shape-retention, higher meltdown resistance, dry extrusion CREMODAN® ShapePro has been developed to give better shape stability compared to a standard emulsifier/ stabiliser system (figure 1). It further-
