lowering the freezing point

Animesh Kumar Sinha writes on Quora that ‘Kulfi seller’s mixing of salt in a pot filled with ice is not adulteration. There is a scientific basis for doing this. A solution is made by mixing salt with ice cubes put in the pot, whose freezing point is below zero degree centigrade. This temperature can drop down to -18° to -21°, which is almost equivalent to a deep freezer. When containers filled with kulfi mixture are put into this solution, they get set easily.

Kulfi can set very fast

Animesh further writes that, ‘The temperature of the solution made by mixing salt with ice cubes in the pot rapidly drops to minus, due to which the containers filled with the Kulfi mixture kept in the pot freeze more quickly. However, one thing that needs to be kept in mind here is that salt should be mixed with the ice pieces to a limited extent, if too much salt is added then it will not mix with the solution made.,

At the same time, a Quora user named Surendra Verma writes that ‘While making Kulfi, adding salt to the ice creates a low temperature environment, which speeds up the freezing process and as a result, the Kulfi freezes quickly.’ Let us tell you that Kulfi is a popular Indian ice cream. Its texture is dense and creamy. This technique is not only for making kulfi, but is also commonly used in the production of ice cream and other frozen delicacies.
