4. Getting Started
PreGel offers a complete range of products for creating the very best gelato, sorbetto and ice cream. For customized production, our bases,
stabilizers and texturizers are considered the foundation for the more complex processes for gelato, sorbetto and ice cream making. For
streamlined production, our Super Sprint line is a simple two-step process for producing instant gelato, sorbetto or ice cream.
The Processes for Making Frozen Desserts
There are three ways to make gelato, sorbetto and ice cream:1. Hot Process; 2.Cold Process and; 3. Super Sprint Process.
The Hot Process allows more flexibility for the customization of recipes and offers a
slightly longer shelf life when compared with the other processes. The Hot Process requires
specialized equipment to heat the liquids before freezing them.The products and equipment
required for the Hot Process.
Products:
Hot • Milk or water
Process • Sugar
• PreGel Hot Process Base (Diamant 50, Maximapan 150, Fruttosa® or Base Allegra)
• PreGel Flavors (Traditional Paste or Fortefrutto®)
• PreGel Arabeschi® or Toppings
Equipment:
• Hot Process machine
• Batch freezer
• Display case
• Freezer or blast freezer
• Alternative: a combined batch freezer and Hot Process machine can also be used
The Cold Process allows for the preparation to occur in a more efficient manner. The
ingredients used in the Cold Process are already microbiologically safe which eliminates the
need to heat the ingredients – significantly cutting equipment costs, while increasing space.
Products:
• Milk or water
Cold • Sugar
Process • PreGel Cold Process Base (Base Allegra, Dietetic Fruit Base, Dietetic Milk Base,
Fruttosa®, Neutral Soya Base or Totalbase®)
• PreGel Flavors (Traditional Paste or Fortefrutto®)
• PreGel Arabeschi® or Toppings
Equipment:
• Batch freezer
• Display case
5. The Super Sprint Process presents an even easier and quicker way to produce frozen
desserts. Its process requires PreGel’s prepackaged powdered Super Sprint mix and
liquid ingredients (water or milk). Simply mix together and pour into the batch freezer.
The revolutionary process allows little room for error, eliminates measuring and offers
Instant complete consistency in flavor every time. PreGel’s Super Sprint products contain properly
(Super Sprint)
balanced flavors, sugars, stabilizers and emulsifiers.
