How does agitation affect the texture of frozen desserts?


Agitation promotes the formation of numerous small nuclei that are necessary for a smooth, velvety texture. In addition, the agitation encourages the fat globules to partially disrupt their membranes and rejoin with similar disrupted fat globules to form a larger mass, which promotes a "creamier" sensation. Agitation also aids in incorporation of air, which increases volume.
