Answer 1

Gelatin is mostly used in making ice creams in order to prevent crystallisation and stabilise the mix.

Explanation:

Gelatin is used in ice creams mainly to prevent the formation of large ice crystals, thus preventing crystallisation. This helps in stabilising the ice cream mixture and gives it a smooth texture. It acts as a stabiliser rather than affecting taste or fragrance.
