Table II.

Volume-weighted average diameter, D 4,3 (μm) for ice cream mix made from control milk fat (C), milk fat enriched with unsaturated fatty acids (U), a low-melting milk fat fraction (L) and a high-melting milk fat fraction (H) at different levels of homogenization pressure and ageing temperature. Results are expressed as mean (± SD); P hom, homogenization pressure (MPa); T ageing, ageing temperature (°C).
