Cryostabilized concentrated premix formulation: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Storage instability in frozen confection bases leads to ingredient separation and texture degradation during distribution. Controlling the physicochemical state of the concentrated premix ensures product uniformity and reduces cold-chain waste.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Cryostabilized concentrated premix formulation?

Unstable concentrated frozen storage

(19)evidences

High-solids premixes suffer from phase separation and texture degradation during cryostabilization. Preventing these physical instabilities ensures consistent product quality and shelf-life in plant-based and fat-based frozen systems.

Ice crystal growth degradation

(15)evidences

Fluctuating storage temperatures cause recrystallization and texture coarsening in frozen matrices. Preventing structural breakdown maintains palatability and shelf stability.

Unstable ingredient texture degradation

(4)evidences

Non-uniform filling and shaping of frozen materials leads to product waste and structural defects. Precise volumetric control ensures dosage accuracy and aesthetic consistency in high-speed production.
