| abstract |
An ice confection comprising an antifreeze protein, whereinDELTA modulus/original modulus >=0.4, and/orDELTA strength/original strength >=0.4; providing that when DELTA modulus/original modulus <=6.0, DELTA modulus >=50 MPa, and/or when DELTA strength/original strength <=2.0,DELTA strength >=0.2 MPa. Such ice confections have a strong, close-packed continuous network of ice crystals and can be used to manufacture products having novel textures, properties and/or shapes. |
