9 important questions on Ice cream - The four microstructure elements - Ostwald ripening and accretion
Which 2 instability effects occur in ice cream?
- Air bubbles growth
- Coalescence
- Disproportionation
- Ice crystal growth
- Recrystallisation (when T changes)
- Accretion (coalescence)
- Ostwald ripening (disproportionation)
Why is ice cream or sorbets white?
How is the stability of air bubbles related to the colour of ice cream?

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What are the 2 effects of unstable air bubbles in ice cream?
- Whiteness will decrease, as larger air bubbles scatter less light.
- Softness of the ice cream will change.
Which 2 instability mechanisms lead to a change in air bubble size?
- Coalescence --> when air bubbles are not stabilised and interface is not strong enough --> lower incorporation of air and collapse of ice cream
- Disproportionation --> imbalance of pressure between air bubbles. LaPlace pressure larger in smaller bubbles.
Why does coalescence of air bubbles in ice cream not give spherical shapes?
What happens when ice cream is put in the airplane and taken out again?
When the pressure is restored, the volume will decrease again, which will lead to an additional collapse.
Why does Ostwald ripening occur in ice crystals?
Freezing and melting is in equilibrium.
- some water molecules turn into ice, some molecules turn from a solid form to a liquid form
- Influenced by solubility of ice in water.
- Smaller crystals, solubility is larger.
- Around small crystals the ice melts faster than around large crystals.
- More melting and lower degree of crystallisation around small crystals.
- Less melting and more crystallisation around large crystals.
How can (re)crystallisation be prevented?
- They hinder water molecules from approaching each other. So they keep the ice crystals already smaller.
- They increase the viscosity of the serum phase, which decreases the diffusion of the water molecules (diffusion coefficient). This will decrease the Ostwald ripening rate, so less growth of ice crystals
By ice structuring proteins/anti-free proteins.
