The Department of Food Safety in Dubai Municipality has recently published a video clip on social media on the use of liquid nitrogen in food processing and ice cream preparation as it is an old theme that was raised several years ago.
The municipality explained that nitrogen is a harmless gas that is artificially prepared by liquefaction and distillation of the air to a very low temperature and turns into a very cold liquid and is used in the instant preparation process for ice cream, where ice cream components such as liquid milk and sugar are placed in a container and added liquid nitrogen, ice cream,
The municipality stressed that the use of this method as a promotional process to attract consumers; because liquid nitrogen evaporates immediately after leaving the container of its preservative so the vapors increase when added due to the difference between the large temperature and temperature of the atmosphere and nitrogen. When it turns into a gas that has no harm, contrary to what was mentioned in the video, which incorrectly stated that the nitrogen gas is added to the ice cream, and the seller does not offer ice cream to the consumer until all the nitrogen evaporates the added liquid that evaporates very quickly and this method is safe As is any food preparation process carried out by licensed food enterprises.
