Iciness is also the primary limitation to the shelf life of ice cream and probably also accounts for countless lost sales through customer dissatisfaction with quality.
There is no answer to the question “What is the shelf-life of ice cream?”, it depends entirely on its conditions of storage. It might be one year, or it might be two weeks or less. Although the source of and the contributing factors to the problem of iciness are well known, it is also one of the defects about which I am most often asked.Because ice cream is so sensitive, the bulk storage facilities should be capable of maintaining a product temperature of well below minus 18°C.
Our Modular Ice Cream Freezer Rooms have a storage temperature range from -10 to -25 degrees, adjustable to store Ice Cream at the optimum temperatures.
