Fourteen brands of commercial vanilla ice cream, purchased at three different times, were analyzed for freezing point, firmness, fat, solids-not-fat, total solids, and net weight. Mean freezing points ranged from −2.65 ± .04 to −3.24 ± .19°C, which indicated ice cream composition and mix formulations varied. Values for mean penetrometer readings ranged from 120 ± 6.0 to 193 ± 34.9 mm; fat, 9.3 ± .23 to 16.8 ± .20%; solids-not-fat, 25.2 ± .17 to 29.6 ± .64%; total solids, 35.5 ± .25 to 42.0 ± .26%; and net weights, 1.026 ± .045 to 1.756 ± .017 kg/1.89 liter. The freezing point osmometer has potential use as a rapid quality control instrument to measure the freezing point of ice cream mix and detect when improper quantities of soluble mix ingredients have been incorporated into the mix. More testing of mix formulations will improve product uniformity and quality and assure compliance with regulatory standards.

Melting mechanisms have been studied for diphenyl, and o -, m - and p -terphenyl. The volume increase on melting is largest for the linear polyphenyls and smallest for branched molecules which can interlock in the melt. In no case will the volume increase permit the ‘onset of rotation’ on melting. Viscosity measurements give marked indications of the growth of cybotactic groups in the melts on approaching the freezing-points, especially in the case of o -terphenyl, where the , ratio H vap / E n reaches exceptionally low values near the freezing-point. Plots of fluidity against specific volume and the marked tendency of the melt of o- terphenyl to supercool give further indications of the presence of interlocked groups of molecules in the melt.

Crystal coconut sugar is sugar that made from coconut sap which is processed to  powder or crystal. This sugar has lower Glycemic Index and higher levels of fiber and vitamin B12 than cane sugar. Other advantages are that it is more soluble, has longer shelf life, more attractive in shape, easier to package and transport, has a unique taste and aroma, and can be fortified with other ingredients. Crystal coconut sugar can be used as a substitute for sugar cane in various beverage products. This paper aims to provide an overview of the process, excellence, and potential use of crystal coconut sugar in beverage products sourced from research journals and scientific books. Crystal coconut sugar has the potential to substitute cane sugar in tamarind syrup products, traditional drinks, instant powder drinks, instant chocolate drinks, coffee mixes, and ice cream.

AbstractThe freezing point of bovine milk is known to vary between narrow limits. However, some variation is possible, because of the osmotic relationship between blood and milk. The extent of variation in freezing points of cow's milk was studied. For one year, freezing points were determined in individual milk samples from a high producing herd. Differences (P<0.05) were found between evening and morning milk yield and freezing points. A ‘lactation curve’ for freezing points was fitted and showed some similarity with milk yield curves. Stage of lactation explained part of the variation of freezing points of cow's milk.

Our previous papers on spontaneous crystallisation have dealt with the supersolubility curves, firstly, of pure substances; secondly, of mixtures of two or more substances which do not form mixed crystals; and, finally, with naphthalene and β -naphthol; the last form mixed crystals of the type (l) of Roozeboom, in which the freezingpoints of all mixtures lie between the freezing-points of the pure components. The object for which the present investigation was undertaken was to study the spontaneous crystallisation of two substances which form mixed crystals and possess a minimum or eutectic freezing-point.

Freezing point, viscosity, and boiling point data are presented for aqueous solutions of levo-2,3-butanediol containing methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol as third components. All four ternary systems show freezing points of −50 °C. and lower over a considerable range of compositions. Among the compounds tested as third components, methanol was most effective as a thinning agent and accessory freezing point depressant. The data indicate that 20% methanol–40% butanediol–40% water is suitable for use at temperatures as low as −50 °C.

By a method involving equilibration of ice and solution, and analysis of the solution, freezing point depressions of solutions of sodium citrate, oxalate, and fluoride have been determined over the range Δ = 0.45 to 0.65°C. Determinations with sodium chloride solutions have confirmed the accuracy of the method. In each case the freezing point depression is given, within 0.002°C., as a linear function of the concentration. By the use of these linear equations it is possible to prepare a solution of any of these four salts isotonic with a given biological fluid of known freezing point, provided the latter falls within the range studied.

Summary Eigty-three authentic samples were taken from the mixed herd milk of dairies located in eight areas of the State of Mississippi during an eight-month period. The range of freezing points observed was wider than expected based on the recognized upper limit of −0.530 C. Eleven percent of the samples would have been termed adulterated based on this accepted standard. The mean freezing point was −0.536 C and the standard deviation −0.006 C. The data showed a moderately acceptable normal curve fit. But the true distribution appeared somewhat skewed, indicating that factors other than normal differences between animals tend to force the freezing point up. Variation between laboratories was small. The mean test deviation was slightly more than 0.001 C.
