There are two types of stabilizers used in gelato. One comes from animal sources and the most commonly used is gelatin. The other stabilizer is a vegetable source such as Carrageenan, Guar Gum and Locus Bean Gum. Stabilizers are used in gelato for a variety of reasons as they increase viscosity, improve the smoothness of the product body and prevent ice crystal formation and melting.
