Description

SPECIFICATION Method for manufacturing ice cream containing small ice pieces dispersed therein The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing ice cream dispersedly containing small ice pieces and maintaining the form thereof, Conventional methods-for manufacturing ice:cream dispersedly containing small colored or uncolored ice pieces are summarized as follows.
At first, there are prepared granular ice pieces by breaking ice blocks by an ice-breaker, or putting material liquid for ice pieces in an ice making plate with many hollows and freezing thereof, or freezing falling drops of the material liquid in an extremely cold atmosphere below 0,C, and secondly the thus obtained ice pieces are mixed with material mix for ice cream or are mixed while whipping with soft ice cream in the half frozen form in a freezer.
However, in the conventional methods, for example, after mixed with the ice cream mix, ice pieces contained therein melt as time goes by, and dilute-the ice cream mix, which makes the product obtained by freezing thereof inferior in composition and flavor, as a result, overrun control of the product becomes difficult. Further, in this case, if the ice pieces contain a coloring agent, flavorings and a sweetening, these matters are to permeate into the ice cream mix, which spoils an original color tone and flavor of the ice cream mix.And also in the method wherein ice pieces are dropped to be mixed into the halffrozen soft ice cream taken out from a freezer, a surface of each ice piece is melted by exposure to the air during the process of preparing small ice pieces by breaking ice blocks, therefore the similar spoiling to the ice cream mix mixed with the ice pieces is incurred. If the colored ice-blocks are prepared only using water without a stabilizer in the ice making process, the ice blocks are unevenly colored, so uniform colored ice pieces are not obtained.
Therefore, it is difficult to obtain the product of high commercial value according to the conventional art of producing the ice cream containing small ice pieces.
As the result of researches for eliminating the abovementioned defects on the conventional art, the inventors of the present invention have found the fact as follows. When small ice pieces which are obtained by breaking ice blocks containing the stabilizer are refrigerated by a refrigerant and then mixed with half-frozen ice cream, there can be obtained the products in which goods-flavored and even-colored ice pieces are enchased in ice cream as if they were jewels, even if the ice pieces contain the coloring agent, flavorings, sweetening, etc.
The present invention is based upon the abovementioned finding and aims to provide a method for producing high-marketable ice cream dispersedly containing small ice pieces.
The attached drawing shows a schematic illustration of an apparatus for manufacturing ice cream containing small ice pieces dispersedly according to the present invention.
The details of the present invention are explained in the following.
The present invention comprises refrigerating with the refrigerant small ice pieces obtained by breaking ice blocks containing stabilizer and then mixing refrigerated ice pieces with half-frozen ice cream.
Small ice pieces used in the present invention are made by freezing material liquid according to the convpntionai method and those ice pieces may be colored or flavored. Therefore, material liquid for ice pieces covers a wide range from drinking water to syrup, fruit juice of various kind (including canned one), liquid containing chocolate, cocoa, coffee or powdered tea, other liquid which can be prepared into ice blocks.
A stabilizer used in preparing ice blocks, according to the present invention, includes gelatine, carrageenan, arabina gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, furcelieran, tamarind, pectin, xanthan gum, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, etc., which are generally used in the business circle of the ice cream manufacturer. In case of producing ice pieces containing such stabilizers, water containing 0.1 - 3.0 parts by weight of at least one kind of said stabilizers may be, if necessary added with the coloring agent, flavorings, sweetening, etc., frozen into ice blocks, which may be broken into ice pieces. Apparent from the comparison data disclosed below, those ice pieces containing the stabilizers are less meltable than those containing no stabilizers.When those ice pieces contain less than 0.1 % by weight of the stabilizers, efficiency of the stabilizer is lower, on the other hand, when they contain more than 3.0 % by weight of the stabilizers, the ice pieces get jellified. Consequently the preferable content rate of the stabilizer is within the range between 0.1 % by weight and 3.0% by weight. - . . .
In the present invention, small ice pieces obtained by the above process are refrigerated with the refrigerant such as liquid nitrogen, liquid carbonic acid or liquid air which is harmless to a human body.
Small ice pieces are refrigerated with the refrigerant by spraying the refrigerant upon ice pieces or soaking ice pieces in the refrigerant. Small ice pieces refrigerated in this way are dry to the touch.
Next, abovementioned refrigerated small ice pieces are mixed with half-frozen ice cream. The preferable rate of ice pieces against ice cream is around 10 - 20 weight %, and Particularly about 15% by weight is the most preferable. In this case, it is preferable to sort out ice pieces of the suitable size, only which are mixed with ice cream. The term "ice cream" used in the above description means ice cream, iced milk, lactic ice, sherbet and so on.
In the present invention, such ice cream is used the half-frozen condition. The "half-frozen condition" in this case means "soft ice cream". Ice cream, which is obtained in this way and dispersedly containing suitable number of refrigerated small ice pieces, is frozen in the temperature below, for example, -20 C in the state of stick or of being filled into the cup for ice cream.
According to the present invention, small ice pieces will not nibit because of the abovementioned process, even when they are mixed into ice cream. Consequently, color and flavor of small ice pieces will not intermix with ice cream itself, and this results in ice cream.enchased with small ice pieces of various kind of flavor which shines like jewels.
Therefore in comparison with the conventional-type of-ice-cream containing ice pieces, the present invention makes it possible to improve the public taste for ice cream and manufacture a new type of ice cream which dispersedly containing a wide variety of small ice pieces which have conventionally considered difficult to make.
Example: Embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, in reference of accompanying drawing, as follows: Blocks of ice, from which small ice pieces are made, are prepared by adding stabilizer into drinking water, then sterilizing the water for 15 sec. at a temperature of 85"C-(HTST: High-Temperature Short-Time - Sterilization), afterwards cooling it until the temperature falls to 5"C, adding a coloring agent and a flavory into the water and mixing them, and then freezing the thus obtained liquid. Gelatin is used as a stabilizer at a ratio of 0.25 % by weight relative to the drinking water.
The aforementioned ice-block-raw-liquid including the abovementioned additives is freezed in the rapid freezer at around -25"C for forming ice. At this stage, the temperature of the ice block is around -22"C at the central portion thereof after being maintained as it is for 32 hours.
Then, the ice block is crushed into small pieces by means of-an ice crusher, which refers to the numeral 1 in an attached drawing.
Soon after crushing the ice, a liquid nitrogen valve 4 is opened to spray liquid nitrogen (-1 96 C) into the obtained small ice pieces in order to refreeze the portion on the surface of the small ice pieces, where the ice is defreezed when crushed. Thereafter, the re-freezed ice pieces are sifted through a sieve 6, whose suitable diameter is about 3 mm. The shifted ice powder is disused.
It is preferable to prevent ice powder from intermixing to ice cream as much as possible, since when the powder ice is mixed it is easily dispersed uniformly into the ice cream so that the whole ice cream including small ice pieces comes to be the same color as that of the colored ice pieces. Therefore, although size of the sifted small ice pieces can be optionally determined according to consumer's tastes, it is preferable to settle the diameterofthe average size pieces occupying the greatest majority to be around Sto 10 mm.
The thus-prepared small ice pieces are mixed into ice cream which is prepared on another line by means of a mixer (fruit-feeder) 7. At this time, the temperature of the small ice pieces is previously arranged beneath -1 50C, and the ice cream between -3"C and -7 C.
The mixing ratio of the small ice pieces is set as 0.15 parts by weight relative to 1 part by weight of the ice cream.
The abovementioned ice cream including small ice pieces is filled into ice cream vessels indivisually by using an ice cream filling machine, or is formed into a stickshape, and then they are hardened in the rapid freezer at a temperature below -25"C. In the drawing, numeral 2 represents a stepless transmitter, 3 a liquid nitrogen pipe line, 5 a cooled conveyor (screw conveyer system), 8 a ductfor exhausting N2, and 9 a pool for powder ice.
Comparison Example Now, we will explain concretely effects of this invention, representing a comparison example.
As for two kinds of ice cream containing small ice pieces respectively being made by a conventional method and by the procedure as described in the Example of this invention, we measured color difference, i.e: difference in degree of permeation of color material used for small ice pieces into each kind of ice cream by using CD-100, a color machine MODEL manufactured by Murakami Coloring Technical Institute K.K.
The results are shown in the below-mentioned Table 1.
The ice cream containing small ice pieces, used in the comparison with that prepared by the present invention was prepared in accordance with one of the conventional methods, wherein drinking water was colored, flavored, sterilized, cooled and then freezed in the rapid freezer at around -25 C and thus formed was an ice block which was subsequently crushed into small ice pieces each having a diameter between 5 to 10 mm by means of ice crusher, and immediatelythereåfterthesmall ice pieces were mixed into the ice cream in the weight portion ratio of 0.15 relative to the ice cream of 1 weight portion.
