Ice crystals are formed when the temperature falls below the dew point. The condensation nuclei (microscopic water droplets) then freeze and become ice crystals.
Irreversible because the ordered arrangement of molecules in the ice crystals is lost and the entropy increases. Irreversible because the ordered arrangement of molecules in the ice crystals is lost and the entropy increases.
Adding sugar to ice cream lowers the freezing point of the mixture, making it freeze faster. This is because sugar disrupts the formation of ice crystals, resulting in a smoother texture and quicker freezing process in the ice cream.
Stirring the ice cream while freezing helps incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a smoother and creamier texture. It also prevents large ice crystals from forming, leading to a more velvety consistency.
Sugar acts as a natural softener in ice cream, contributing to its creamy texture. Without sugar, sugar-free ice cream tends to freeze harder because it lacks this softening effect. Additionally, sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners used in sugar-free ice cream can freeze at lower temperatures, making the ice cream harder.
Yes, salt can enhance the flavor of ice cream by reducing its freezing point and making it creamier. It helps to control the formation of ice crystals, resulting in a smoother texture and a more balanced taste profile. However, adding too much salt can make the ice cream overly salty or affect its sweetness.
Fat in the milk cause cream like form and alcohol can prevent it...!
The ice crystals in the ice cream form very rapidly due to the intense cooling effect of the liquid nitrogen. They do not have time to grow large. The "grit" you taste in cheap ice cream is made of large ice crystals. small crystals = no grit
That depends on how cold the ice cream is in the first place. Remember that completely thawing ice cream and then refreezing it will cause large ice crystals to form in the mixture and will ruin your ice cream. This is the same thing that happens to a bucket of ice cream when it gets old, ice crystals form on the top of the ice cream and bottom of the lid.
The faster ice cream freezes, the smaller the crystals of water in it as they don't have much time to form - eg. if you are like Heston and use liquid nitrogen to make icecream it freezes really quickly and is lovely and smooth. This is also why icecream makers constantly stir the ice cream when it is freezing to keep the crystals small and the icecream stays smoother. Ice cream that has re-frozen has solidifed much more slowly so larger ice crystals can form - this not only affects the texture but also the taste of the icecream.
Cream and egg yolks both help prevent large crystals of ice and render ice-cream makers unnecessary.
Salt acts as an antifreeze, reducing the melting/freezing point of the ice. This makes the salt & ice freezing mixture much colder than that of ordinary ice, causing the ice cream to freeze faster and with smaller crystals. An ice cream with smaller crystals feels smoother and creamier in the mouth.I use a compressor ice cream maker, which requires no salt & ice mixture as it has a built in electric powered freezer.

yes you can, it freezes faster so be careful of crystals form.
Bacteria. but i do not remember which kind of bacteria.

its ingredients used to make ice cream. i know because i made homemade ice cream before
Yes of course ice-cream makes us fat.The cream in ice-cream makes you fat because it's very thick like honey and we can get very fat if we eat ice-cream.
