Workers spreading salt from a salt truck for deicing the road Freezing point depression is responsible for keeping ice cream soft below 0°C. [1]Freezing-point depression is a drop in the maximum temperature at which a substance freezes, caused when a smaller amount of another, non-volatile substance is added.
Ice cream production became easier with the discovery of the endothermic effect. [13] Prior to this, cream could be chilled easily but not frozen. The addition of salt lowered the melting point of ice, drawing heat from the cream and allowing it to freeze.
The wooden tub contained a mixture of salt and crushed ice, thus melting the crushed ice, but dropping the temperature of the solution below freezing point as a result of salt lowering the melting point of liquids. This, in conjunction with the ice cream solution, extracts heat energy from the ice cream, in turn freezing it.

Dippin' Dots is an ice cream snack invented by Curt Jones in 1988. [1] The confection is created by flash freezing ice cream mix in liquid nitrogen. [2] The snack is made by Dippin' Dots, Inc., headquartered in Paducah, Kentucky. [3] Dippin' Dots are sold in 14 countries, including Honduras and Luxembourg. [4]
If a gap exists between the solidus and liquidus it is called the freezing range, and within that gap, the substance consists of a mixture of solid and liquid phases (like a slurry). Such is the case, for example, with the olivine ( forsterite - fayalite ) system, which is common in Earth's mantle .
Frozen dessert is a dessert made by freezing liquids, semi-solids, and sometimes solids. They may be based on flavored water (shave ice, ice pops, sorbet, snow cones), on fruit purées (such as sorbet), on milk and cream (most ice creams, sundae, sherbet), on custard (frozen custard and some ice creams), on mousse (), and others.
A bath of ice and water will maintain a temperature 0 °C, since the melting point of water is 0 °C. However, adding a salt such as sodium chloride will lower the temperature through the property of freezing-point depression. Although the exact temperature can be hard to control, the weight ratio of salt to ice influences the temperature:
