Introduction
Floaten-IC1 (TJ005-LY) is a specialized compound ice cream emulsifier and stabilizer blend. Featuring a fine powder texture and uniform particle sizing, it ensures convenient dry pre-mixing. By combining dual emulsifying and stabilizing capabilities, it distributes fats, proteins, and solids homogeneously, prevents whey separation and large ice crystal development, and delivers exceptional freeze-thaw stability, high expansibility, and a fine, creamy mouthfeel in commercial and soft-serve ice cream.

- Enhances overrun (high expansibility) with a smooth texture and rich, creamy mouthfeel
- Simplifies batch processing with dependable operational quality control
Recommended Applications
- Soft-serve ice cream premix powders & slurry blends
- Commercial bulk ice cream
- Ice pops, sorbets, and frozen desserts
Dosage Reference Guide
| Application Food Type | Dosage |
|---|---|
| Soft-serve ice cream premix powder (Fat content >16%) | 1.0%–1.5% |
| Soft-serve ice cream premix powder (Fat content 10%–16%) | 1.5%–2.0% |
| Soft-serve ice cream mix slurry (Fat content ≥8%) | 0.4%–0.6% |
| Soft-serve ice cream mix slurry (Fat content <8%) | 0.5%–0.8% |
Usage Guidelines
- Premix Powder Blending: Directly dry-blend into the premix or base powder with thorough, uniform mixing.
- Mix Preparation: When preparing the ice cream mix, add directly into a high-shear emulsification tank maintained at 50–60°C.
- Addition Sequence: Incorporate Floaten-IC1 prior to the addition of fat and protein components.
- Processing Step: Homogenize the finalized blend under high pressure before cooling and aging.
General Recommended Dosage: 1.0%–2.0% in premix powders; 0.4%–0.8% in ice cream mix slurries.
