Ice cream requires many steps on processing. When making ice cream, the mixture should be contained of nonfat solids, stabilizers, milk fat source, and emulsifiers. The next step is the pasteurizing of the mix. The mix should be heated 155°F for the minimum amount of thirty minutes. Homogenizing the milk is the next step, this decreases the milk fat to become smoother and creamier. The mix is then aged for four hours overnight at 40°F. This allows the mix to form crystals. Adding flavors should be done before freezing. This ensures that the mix will flow properly through the freezing equipment. The ice cream is packaged, and put into freezers. Other companies use fluid milk for making ice cream. This milk will go through pasteurization where the measured amounts of eggs and sugars are mixed for eight minutes. After pasteurizing, the mix will be homogenized. This will break down the fat particles. The mix is then transferred to a cooling tank where it will be cooled down to 36°F. For flavoring, the ice cream will be pumped to vats. The flavorings will then be pumped into the ice cream and blended thoroughly. After packaging, the ice cream should be frozen to a temperature of -10 degrees Fahrenheit. (Ice
