What You Need to Know
The cryogenic process at -196 °C induces rapid nucleation of ice crystals, producing a fine microstructure that eliminates large crystals. Dissolved nitrogen gas forms microbubbles, contributing to a silky mouthfeel. The combination of extreme cold and controlled infusion time yields a visually striking, smooth texture.
The Science
Primary Reaction
Rapid cryogenic freezing of sorbet mixture, causing nucleation of ice crystals and dissolution of nitrogen gas.
