Other advantages are ease of packing and transportation and ready for quick use. Ice cream mix powder can be produced by several methods such as spray dryer, roller dryer etc. Abraham et al. (1971) patented the spray drying process for making ice cream mix powder from coconut oil. The other fats that have been suggested are palm kernel oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil and mixture of soya bean and peanut oil.
