The happiness of hot summer is brought to you by cold drinks and air conditioning.
The colorful world of cold drinks
Do you think ice cream, popsicles and ice cream just have different names? In fact, in the field of cold drinks, they are very different in terms of composition, nutritional value, and even calories. Although they all come from freezers, the production techniques and national standards are completely different.
national standard | ||||
name | executive standard | sugar | fat | protein |
ice cream | "frozen drink ice cream" SB/T31119 | ≥1% | ≥0.4% | |
popsicle | 《Frozen Drink Popsicle》 SB/T10016-2008 | ≥9% | None | None |
Ice Cream | 《Frozen Drink Ice Cream》 SB/T31114-2014 | ≥5% | ≥2.2% |
In addition to the different national standards, different categories of frozen drinks also have different health-related applicable groups and recommendations. . Now, let's analyze it carefully. Which type of cold drink you bought belongs to it and is it suitable for you to eat?
1. The main ingredients of popsicles
are water + sugar. Its essence is frozen sugar water.
Just to make the popsicles look better to the senses or to enrich the taste, some juices, pigments, flavors or fruit pellets will be added, thus creating colorful popsicles with different tastes.
Popsicles contain only sugar and almost no fat, so the calories are usually relatively low. Most of the calories per 100g are between 80 and 120 kcal. They are very suitable for people who are afraid of getting fat or who want to cool down during weight loss. And because popsicles have simple ingredients and are the cheapest, in our childhood born in the 1980s, we almost only had popsicles in summer.
2. Ice cream
Ice cream is made of one or more raw and auxiliary materials such as drinking water, milk and/or dairy products, egg products, fruit products, soy products, sugar, edible vegetable oil, etc., with or without the addition of food additives. and/or food nutrition fortifier , frozen drinks made through mixing, sterilization, homogenization, cooling, shaping, freezing and other processes.
The addition of ingredients such as fresh milk or dairy products also brings fat and protein. Ingredients such as fat, protein, water and sugar are not just mixed. Their addition brings about wonderful changes among the various ingredients. The protein is very hydrophilic and can capture the water molecules in the sugar water to form bound water; the fat is broken up and formed into small fat globules, which are combined with the protein and water. With their joint efforts, the ice cream has a smoother and more delicate texture, while the feeling of ice cream is reduced.
Because of the addition of fat, the calories are much higher than that of popsicles. For people who need to control their weight, ice cream is obviously not a good choice.
3. Ice cream
Ice cream is made of one or more raw and auxiliary materials such as drinking water, milk and/or dairy products, egg products, fruit products, soy products, sugar, edible vegetable oil, etc., with or without the addition of food additives and ( or) Food nutrition enhancer, a volume-expanded frozen drink made by mixing, sterilizing, homogenizing, cooling, shaping, freezing and other processes.
Ice cream structure
By comparison, ice cream only has four more words for volume expansion than ice cream. Yes, ice cream becomes more delicious when you add air! Stirring the ice cream allows air to enter and form tiny "bubbles". This adds softness and smoothness to the original delicate texture of the ice cream.
When we make cream cake , we need to use a blender to beat the cream and egg whites to make the cake taste more delicate and fluffy. This is the same as ice cream. Therefore, the ingredients of ice cream and ice cream are similar, but the taste of ice cream may be better. Usually, in order to obtain a better taste, more fat may be added to ice cream, so the calories will increase.
Therefore, friends who want to cool down should choose the one that suits them according to their health and nutritional needs when choosing the corresponding cold drink. Remember to pay attention to the ingredient list.
Of course, for the same ice cream, different formulas, equipment, environments, etc. will affect the taste, texture, etc. Therefore, it is really difficult to say whether the ice cream or ice cream you buy is delicious or not.
Summer is incomplete without the freedom of cold drinks. The best cold drink in my memory is the steaming popsicles taken out of a foam box covered with a thick quilt. Popsicles, ice cream, ice cream, different products have their own characteristics and bring different tastes and happiness, just choose the one you like.
