Origin: French, Italian, modernist chefs (19th–21st century) — Europe, global
See full technique reference →At sub‑zero temperatures, milk proteins unfold and form a viscoelastic network that traps air bubbles. Fats act as lubricants, lowering interfacial tension and preventing coalescence of fat globules. Starch gelatinizes at –10 °C, contributing body to the aerated matrix.
