Hot process bases
PreGel’s hot process milk bases are proprietary powdered blends of dry ingredients with the most advanced formula that is activated by heat.
Gelato or ice cream created with a hot process base have sweeter flavor, as the heat also acts as a flavor-enhancer.
All hot process bases must be heated before the mixture goes into the batch freezer. The overall process is quite simple. First,heat the milk in the pasteurizer to 35°C–40°C/95°F–104°F. Next, add the solids, mixed well, to complete the heating phase.
Once the temperature reaches 85°C/185°F, cool the mixture down to 4°C/39.2°F and let it rest for at least 1,5 hours. Remove the appropriate amount of mixture from the pasteurizer and add in the PreGel Flavoring of your choosing, blending well before
pouring into the batch freezer.
