Four milk-based ice cream samples were produced by heating (65°C) the ingredients at different pressures (0.5, 1.0 bar) and times (5, 30 min). Overrun, melting behaviour, particle size, viscosity and sensory analysis were conducted for each time/temperature combination. The 5-min vacuum application resulted in a reduction of overrun and air bubbles size, whereas ice cream viscosity increased. Opposite outcomes were found for the sample treated with vacuum for 30 min, which also showed a significant fat globule size reduction (<3.0 μm). Sensory analysis revealed that the use of vacuum improved sweetness, milky and creamy sensations regardless the treatment times.

Abstract
Four milk-based ice cream samples were produced by heating (65°C) the ingredients at different pressures (0.5, 1.0 bar) and times (5, 30 min). Overrun, melting behaviour, particle size, viscosity and sensory analysis were conducted for each time/temperature combination. The 5-min vacuum application resulted in a reduction of overrun and air bubbles size, whereas ice cream viscosity increased. Opposite outcomes were found for the sample treated with vacuum for 30 min, which also showed a significant fat globule size reduction (<3.0 μm). Sensory analysis revealed that the use of vacuum improved sweetness, milky and creamy sensations regardless the treatment times.
