Commercial Soft-Serve Ice Cream Dry Mixとは？用途・使用量・代替品・規格

Commercial Soft Ice Cream Powder, also known as Soft-serve Ice Cream Premix Powder, is a pre-mixed powder formulated with milk, sugar, vegetable fat powder, emulsifiers, stabilizers, and other ingredients through scientific compounding. By simply adding water or milk in proportion and mixing, the product can be used in a soft-serve ice cream machine to produce ready-to-sell soft ice cream. The core value of this product lies in moving the complex steps of traditional ice cream production—ingredient weighing, mixing, homogenization, and aging—upstream to specialized factories operating under standardized conditions. End users only need three steps: "add water → mix → pour into the machine" to consistently and efficiently produce uniform-quality soft ice cream. In 2007, the National Standard for Soft-serve Ice Cream Premix Powder (GB/T 20976–2007) was officially released, making this category the first ice cream powder product in China to have a national standard. This standard was revised and upgraded to GB/T 20976–2023 "Quality Requirement for Soft-serve Ice Cream Premix Powder" in September 2023, effective from April 1, 2024.

Soft ice cream powder is classified by fat content into high-fat, medium-fat, and low-fat premix powders. By usage, it is divided into commercial use and household use. By final product form, it is divided into soft ice cream powder for soft-serve machines and hard ice cream powder for frozen consumption.

According to GB/T 20976–2023 and industry standards, the sensory indicators of high-quality soft ice cream powder are as follows: Color
