What You Need to Know
The process relies on the heat-induced denaturation of casein micelles and the coalescence of fat globules, which are then stabilized by mechanical agitation. Gentle emulsification incorporates air and preserves the integrity of the fat globule membrane, yielding a rich, velvety texture. Precise temperature control prevents protein aggregation and maintains the desired mouthfeel.
