When it comes to ice cream, SHMP can be used to improve the expansion capacity, increase the volume, enhance the emulsification effect to prevent paste damage and make taste much better. If used in dairy products, SHMP can prevent gel precipitation. In addition, SHMP can also be added to beer to clarify the liquor and prevent turbidity.
