3.11 MIX INFORMATION
Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to an-
other. Differences in the amount of butterfat content and
quantity and quality of other ingredients have a direct
bearing on the finished frozen product. A change in machine
performance that cannot be explained by a technical
problem may be related to the mix.
Proper product serving temperature varies from one
manufacturer’s mix to another. Mixes should provide a
satisfactory product in the 20°F to 24°F range. Diet and low-
carb mixes typically freeze to proper consistency at higher
temperatures.
When checking the temperature, stir the thermometer in
the frozen product to get an accurate reading.
Old mix, or mix that has been stored at too high a
temperature, can result in a finished product that is unsat-
isfactory. To retard bacteria growth in dairy based mixes,
the best storage temperature range is between 33° to 38°F
(0.5° to 3.3° C).
