Crystal control in ice cream - Mechanism of controlling crystal growth by IBP
5 important questions on Crystal control in ice cream - Mechanism of controlling crystal growth by IBP
Which bonds drive the interaction between ice and IBPs?
How do the IBPs from fish and insects look like?
How does the shape of ice crystals with IBPs change during growth?
- The water molecules have a round and flat shape.
- In presence of IBPs, the shape of the crystal changes into a hexagon. The hexagon crystals have a basal and prism plane.
- The IBPs bind to the prism face. Growth is inhibited in the horizontal direction; additional water molecules bind to the basal plane and crystals start to grow in the vertical direction until the tip of the bipyramid is formed and no basal plane is exposed anymore.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Why is it not necessary to cover the crystal's surface completely with IBPs to reach the anti-freeze effect?
What are the different planes on ice crystals?
- Basal
- Primary prism
- Pyramidal
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
