Ice Cream Fat 30-33
Ice Cream Fat 30 - 33
Ice Cream Fat 30-33 is a refined, hydrogenated vegetable fat derived from palm or palm kernel oil, designed for frozen desserts. It offers a sharp melting profile, neutral flavour, and high oxidative stability, delivering a smooth, creamy mouthfeel without a greasy aftertaste, making it an ideal alternative to dairy fat.
Production begins with refining, bleaching, and deodorizing crude oil, followed by controlled hydrogenation to raise the melting point to 30–33°C and improve stability. Optional fractionation fine-tunes the solid fat content for optimal texture and meltdown. The final product is a trans-fat-free fat that ensures consistent performance in ice cream and other frozen applications.

Ice Cream Fat 30-33 Uses
Ice Cream Fat 30-33 is a versatile specialty fat used primarily in frozen desserts as a dairy fat substitute, delivering a smooth, creamy mouthfeel with a clean melt. Its sharp melting profile and neutral flavour make it ideal for ice cream, whipped toppings, and non-dairy creamers. In culinary applications, it is also used in ice cream chocolate coatings and compound coatings, where its low melting point ensures a thin, non-brittle shell that melts rapidly at body temperature.
Applications in Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts
Ice Cream Fat 30-33 is a primary dairy fat substitute in ice cream, gelato, and frozen yoghurt. Its sharp melting profile ensures a clean, rapid melt at body temperature, delivering a smooth, creamy mouthfeel without a greasy aftertaste. Its neutral flavour and excellent oxidative stability maintain product quality and extend shelf life.
Applications in Ice Cream Chocolate Coatings
This fat is ideal for chocolate coatings on ice cream bars, cones, and novelties. Its low melting point (30–33°C) produces a thin, non-brittle shell that adheres well and melts rapidly in the mouth. It provides a glossy finish and good snap, enhancing both appearance and eating
Applications in Whipped Toppings & Non-Dairy Creamers
Ice Cream Fat 30-33 is used in whipped toppings, dessert creams, and non-dairy creamers. It whips to a stable foam, provides a rich, creamy texture, and resists oxidation, ensuring consistent performance in coffee creamers, aerosol toppings, and frozen dessert toppings.
Applications in Frozen Confectionery & Novelty Products
The fat is employed in frozen confectionery such as ice cream sandwiches, dipped bars, and layered desserts. Its controlled melting behaviour prevents sogginess in wafer or biscuit layers, while its stability maintains product integrity during storage and distribution.
