Think back to middle school science class: a solid turns to a liquid because it absorbs energy, and a liquid turns into a gas because it absorbs even more energy.
The same thing happens with ice cream. It's a solid that absorbs the heat energy around it. The warmer the atmosphere, the more energy there is. Since normal people eat ice cream in a warm environment as opposed to a colder one, the ice cream takes in the energy from the surrounding warm environment. If it isn't eaten fast enough, the once refreshing ice cream will be a sad puddle on the ground. The temperature at which ice cream starts to melt all depends on the ingredients.
Milk melts at 31 degrees Fahrenheit, but additional ingredients like sugar and cream have different melting temperatures , which can therefore alter how fast or slow ice cream melts. Yay and Nay. The most common fats that are used are creams, egg yolks, hydrogenated fats and even the same nuts oils. Exactly, the ingredient that not many expected is the air, and this is irremediably incorporated at the time of working the ice cream. Of course, since we must join the water with the fat to mix them and achieve an emulsion.
When mechanical movements are applied both manual and machine small air bubbles are formed inside, which prevents very solid matrices from forming between water and grease. Basically it helps us, because if there was no air, the ice cream would be an almost inedible solid block, so this vital element helps us create a better texture and smoothness by preventing the union between the aforementioned elements.
Obviously we need to mention some important ones, such as sugar. Other much added ingredients are the stabilizers, which simply maintain the structure of the product and improve the texture.
Although they are not fundamental, they improve the final results quite a lot. Already understanding the aforementioned elements, we must see the percentage of each compound in order to begin to deduce some things…. Eur Dairy Mag. Kroezen, A.

On fat destabilization and composition of the air interface in ice cream containing saturated and unsaturated monoglyceride. I disagree, I actually find this very helpful. I is very easy to understand and also he included some useful tips. Big fan of your blog, and absolutely love your approach to this. I recently made a sweet cream ice cream in three variables: one stabilised with tapioca starch, one stabilised with locust bean gum, and one stabilised with guar gum.
All other proportions were the same. However, the guar gum stabilised ice cream melted much faster than the other two. Could there be any reason for this? I would love to achieve the same texture I had, but with a slower meltdown rate, and also only have to use one stabiliser…. One suspicion is that I added the guar gum to the base after it finished cooling, but the mix was still about 90 F, and I learned later that guar gum destabilises above 80F. Could this be the reason?
Yes, it turns out. After the tsunami and earthquake that struck Japan in , farmers in Miyagi Prefecture were unable to produce strawberries with a grocery store-perfect shape. They donated their glut of unusable berries to Biotherapy Research Center in hopes the scientists there would be able to find some use for the berries other than tossing them in the bin. Researchers extracted polyphenol, thinking it could be used as a health food additive, but soon realized that adding it to dairy caused it solidify instantly.
When Professor Ota got his hands on the polyphenol, he discovered that turning it into a liquid prevented water and oil from separating.
