Abstract: A method for feeding a liquid mixture (11) to the beating cylinder (12, 30) of a soft ice-cream production machine, is characterised in that only a single measure of liquid mixture, withdrawn from a feed vessel (10), is firstly subjected to rapid heating to a temperature of around +85.degree. C., then immediately afterwards to rapid pre-cooling, and is finally fed to a beating chamber (20) of said beating cylinder (12, 30) in which said mixture is beaten. This ensures that the measure is free from bacterial load.
