Scientists have developed methods to prevent ice cream from melting during hot weather conditions. Japanese manufacturer Kanazawa Ice achieved this breakthrough by adding polyphenols, which are antioxidant molecules found in various fruits. Food scientist Cameron Wicks from the University of Wisconsin investigated how these compounds create stability in frozen desserts. Her research focused on tannic acid, a specific type of polyphenol that interacts with cream proteins. The molecules form protective networks around fat globules, preventing them from merging when ice crystals melt.
Wicks conducted experiments using different concentrations of tannic acid in cream mixtures. Higher concentrations produced thicker substances that could...

After missing the December 2024 deadline, over 170 nations reconvene on Tuesday in Geneva for renewed negotiations. Oil-producing states oppose production limits, preferring recycling emphasis over...
