Yes, demerara sugar can be frozen to extend its shelf life. It may become slightly more clumpy after freezing, so it's recommended to let it come back to room temperature before using it to prevent any texture issues.
Adding sugar to ice cream lowers the freezing point of the mixture, making it freeze faster. This is because sugar disrupts the formation of ice crystals, resulting in a smoother texture and quicker freezing process in the ice cream.
Salt and sugar can both help ice melt faster by lowering the freezing point of water. Vinegar, on the other hand, can lower the freezing point even more than salt or sugar, potentially making ice freeze longer when added to water.
Water freezes faster than cordial because water has a simpler chemical makeup with no added sugars or flavorings. The presence of sugar in cordial lowers its freezing point, requiring more energy to freeze compared to water. Additionally, the sugar molecules in cordial impede the formation of ice crystals, slowing down the freezing process.
The question is asking whether sugar water freezes faster than plain water. This is known as the Mpemba effect, where sometimes a mixture like sugar water can freeze faster due to variables like impurities or the rate of heat transfer.
Sugar acts as a natural softener in ice cream, contributing to its creamy texture. Without sugar, sugar-free ice cream tends to freeze harder because it lacks this softening effect. Additionally, sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners used in sugar-free ice cream can freeze at lower temperatures, making the ice cream harder.
