Soft Serve Information
11.1 Overrun
As mix is frozen in the freezing cylinder,
air is incorporated into the mix to in-
crease its volume, as well as enhance
the taste and texture of the finished
product. The increase in volume is
called overrun. Fifty percent overrun
translates to a volume increase of 50
percent — 10 gallons of liquid mix has
become 15 gallons of finished product.
Controlled overrun is important to
maintain consistency in product quality.
Too much overrun (air) results in a light,
fluffy product lacking the cold refreshing
appeal of a quality product. Too little
overrun results in a wet, heavy product.
To correctly measure the overrun per-
form the following steps:
the scale* and adjust your scale to zero.
and fill the container with liquid product
to the top. Weigh container and record.
10.2 Rerun

rerun make sure to follow these proce-
dures:

Then combine the rerun with fresh mix

as possible and discard after closing.
This will break the rerun cycle and
reduce the possibility of high bacteria
and coliform counts.

frozen product, being sure to leave no
voids or air spaces in the container.
4. Strike off the excess product so it
is even with the top of the container and
measure the weight.
5. Use the following formula to figure
overrun percentage:
"Weight of liquid mix minus weight of frozen
product/divided by the frozen weight.
Multiply by 100." See example.
Example:
Weight of 1 pint of mix
Weight of 1
pint frozen product
Difference
6 oz. divided by 12 oz. = .5
.5 x 100 = 50% overrun
*Your Electro Freeze Distributor can
provide a scale (P/N HC158049) that is
graduated in overrun percentage.
NOTE: Rerun product is unable to
accept the same amount of air as
fresh product. As a result, the quality
will be affected and product may
appear grainy and icy.
