The melt rates of the ice creams made with MPC showed a
varied effect. The ice cream made with 4% protein from MPC had a
very slow melt rate (0.42 g min1
), which was the only melt rate
that was statistically different (P < 0.05)from melt rates of icereams made with MPC at higher proteincontent. When the protein content was increased to 6% and beyond the melt rates
increased significantly (1.36e1.49 g min1
). These ice creams hadlittle structure contributed from partially coalesced fat to hold the
ice cream up; the high protein ice creams made with MPC simply
melted completely
