🧪 Food Science: Ice Crystal Suppression & Viscosity Mechanics
-
Micro-Crystal Ice Suppression: Pectin and natural starches in frozen bananas (or the high lipid-fat ratio in heavy cream and Greek yogurt) prevent large ice crystals from forming during blending. This creates a fine, microscopic frozen suspension identical to commercial soft-serve machines.
-
Overrun & Air Pocket Entrapment: High-speed blade rotation whips air bubbles into the thick Greek yogurt protein matrix (whey and casein). The trapped micro-bubbles create a light, spoonable “frosty” texture instead of a dense ice block.
