Rahul Gandhi offered ice-cream Keventers expands in Delhi NCR by launching premium ice creams to a child, softened hearts

hul, patiently waited just like any other customer for his turn at “56 Dukan”. Seen in a black tee and a big smile of his face, the 47-yearold Congress president resting his elbows on the counter waiting for his ice-cream, he watched the man behind the counter prepare a serving while his party leaders were heard saying “Wah” by seeing the expert in making ice cream. Rahul was noticeably fascinated by the freshly prepared rolled ice cream on the frozen machine. His presence at the parlour caught the sight of the people by surprise, and his charismatic appearance and down-to-earth attitude made people swarm near the shop to click pictures and make videos.

Creamstone ice cream parlour was purely taken by wonderful and amazing surprise by non-expecting visitors who were none other than the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with others. Creamstone and customers at the parlour met with a VIP surprise from VVIP visitors at its “56 Dukaan”, in Indore, adding feathers in the already colourful cap. Ra-

The moment Rahul received his ice cream, he spotted a child in his mother’s arms standing nearby and amusingly asked the little one,” hello, ice cream khaoge?”….and what would you expect…. of course the boy quickly had a bite from the leader’s hand, following which the people cheered to grace. Enjoying thoroughly the taste and texture of the ice cream, the leaders raved about it, with Kamal Nath exclaiming, “it’s so good but we have to watch our weight”

ith the Assembly election in Madhya Pradesh inching closer and after a tiring day of voting campaign in the city, to cool off Rahul Gandhi who wanted to have an ice cream came to the parlour accompanied by top Congress leaders, Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia.

Dairy-free ice-cream innovation with persimmons food technology students put the pulp through a process that resulted in the first prototype of the non-dairy ice-cream,” Wells said. Change of plan WellKit Foods International Ltd was formed to commercialize the product.

ellKit Foods International Ltd, a New Zealand nutritional foods company, is set to launch its flagship product innovation, My Goodness! – a fruit-based, non-dairy ice- cream – which it says will “revolutionize the globally- growing non-dairy dessert market.” WellKit director Duane Wells said, “Until now, the big players in the non- dairy ice-cream category have been soy, almond and coconut. “From there the category trickles down to sorbets, which typically uses a small percentage of fruit juice. ‘My Goodness!’, the brand name that encapsulates everything about this product, uses a significantly higher proportion of fresh fruit at around 60%.” The Wells family’s Northland based company, NTL Horticulture, has been growing and packing persimmons for export markets since 1981. Founder Lindsay Wells started working with the Massey University Food Technology department in 2012 to develop a shelf-stable persimmon pulp to move low-grade persimmons not suitable for the export market. “Almost by mistake – or luck – Massey University

“Our generation one formula was more of a sorbet which didn’t look promising in the market, so we reassessed our business model and gained further expertise in ice-cream development with former Tip Top research and development expert Murray Taylor,” Wells said. “Murray developed the product to a state where it was on par with premium ice-cream, but in the category of non- dairy ice-cream – a rapidly growing category around the world.” My Goodness! will be launched into the New Zealand market through supermarket chain Countdown this November onwards with further hopes pinned on export markets as well. “Asian countries know persimmons intimately so future export markets are very much targeted toward Asian countries,” Wells said. “Internationally we are fielding enquiries from as far as Japan and Indonesia, who all understand the benefits of the persimmon and are excited about its use as a base for non-dairy ice cream.” The new product, in 470ml tubs, will be available in four variants: Mango Swirl; Summer Berry Swirl; Passionfruit Swirl and Kiwifruit Swirl.

The Surprising Difference Between British and American Vanilla Ice Cream

ou expect vanilla ice cream to be a mixture of milk, cream, sugar and vanilla. Right? But some brands cut corners with unexpected ingredients. The United Kingdom gave us Harry Potter, a royal wedding with a mouthwatering menu, Prince George, and fish and chips. There are lots of reasons to look up to our friends across the pond! But for anyone who loves a scoop of vanilla ice cream, be sure to buy your gallon in the U.S. of A. The product review publication Which! (like the British version of Consumer Reports) tested 24 brands of vanilla ice cream and found that only half of them had vanilla, cream, and milk on their ingredients list. It’s enough to make us melt. It’s made with what? A brand called Wall’s Soft Scoop contains reconstituted skimmed milk, water, glucose syrup, vegetable oils, glucose-fructose syrup, sugar, whey solids, emulsifier and stabilizers, plus flavorings. It

sounds more like a chemistry experiment than dessert! The good news for American ice cream lovers is that both U.S. brands Which! tested—Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen-Dazs—have all three key ingredients. Ben & Jerry’s has cream, skim milk, and sugar as well as vanilla extract and vanilla beans. Haagen-Dazs contains cream, skim milk, cane sugar, and vanilla extract. This is what’s happening So why is the United Kingdom slacking with its ice cream? It wasn’t always this way. The United Kingdom used to require that “ice cream” contain at least 5 percent dairy fat. But in 2015, new guidelines eliminated those requirements. By comparison, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration still requires a minimum of 10 percent dairy fat in any product labeled “ice cream.” Founding father Thomas Jefferson—who is credited with creating the first American recipe for vanilla ice cream— would be proud

2 scoops, please: Ben & Jerry’s unveils spice-loaded ‘PeCAN Resist’ ice-cream

ce cream is not the obvious choice of weapon for political resistance. Nor are spices. But they are being deployed in the US against President Donald Trump.

Automatic stickline Machine

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, known for its laid back vibe, progressive values and goofy celebrity flavors -- like Cherry Garcia named for Grateful Dead front man Jerry Garcia -- this week launched “PeCAN Resist!” to support anti-Trump groups. “Ben & Jerry’s feels that it cannot be silent in the face of President Trump’s policies that attack and attempt to roll back decades of progress on racial and gender equity, climate change, LGBTQ rights, and refugee and immigrant rights,” the ice cream maker said in a statement. The company debuted the new flavor -- chocolate ice cream with white and dark fudge chunks, pecans, walnuts & fudge-covered almonds -- with an ice cream truck in Washington. The flavor “celebrating the activists who are continuing to resist oppression, harmful environmental practices and injustice,” comes with $25,000 in donations to four activist groups. Consumers are also urged to “Join the resistance.” PeCAN Resist! will be available for a limited time at Ben & Jerry’s stores and online, a spokeswoman said. Company founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield -- who sold the firm to Unilever in 2000 -- took the idea a step further, creating seven flavors for progressive candidates running for office against Republicans in midterm elections.

Yogurt / Dahi Cup Filling Machine

In a video which showed the men making ice cream in a kitchen, Cohen said they support “awesome progressive candidates that can stop Trump and change Congress.”

Homogeniser

The flavors include Lauren’s Calling or Underwood for the Greater Good, an apple pie, caramel and pecan flavor topped with a Girl Scout cookie for Lauren Underwood a Democrat running for Congress outside Chicago. Another is Ammar-etto American Dream, made with coffee -- “’cause this guy is gonna jolt the system” -- biscotti and amaretto, for California candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar.

Ice-Cream Cup & Cone Filling Machine

And JD Scholten’s Grand Slam Homer has caramel corn “to symbolize his commitment to Iowa’s farmers and the rural community,” Cohen said. Like the more well-known ice cream maker, Penzeys Spices has not been shy about objecting to Trump’s divisive rhetoric, and has even given away free packs of spices after some divise incidents, and posted a picture with the phrase “Cooking trumps Racism.”

Unilever acquires Bulgarian ice-cream Sladoledena Fabrika

Italian frozen dessert company signs with West Bengal’s ice-cream maker stake. The product brand name of the joint venture is Milkberry.

petition. “We’re happy to confirm that approval to finalize the Denny Ice Cream acquisition has been granted by the Bulgarian Competition Authority, bringing Denny Ice Cream closer to being the newest member of the Unilever family,” a Unilever spokesperson said.

he FMCG giant, Unilever has secured an approval from officials in Bulgaria to tieup a local ice-cream maker. Unilever has been given a GO to buy Sladoledena Fabrika, also known as Denny Ice Cream after one of its main brands. With a collective local market shares Unilever and Sladoledena Fabrika are put together, it amounts to 20-30% of ice-cream sales in Bulgaria. If the stake is measured by volume and by value, the potential to affect competition proves non-coercive; reported Bulgaria’s Commission for Protection of Com-

Situated 150 miles east of capital Sofia in Bulgaria, Sladoledena Fabrika is based in Veliko Tarnovo, a city in north-central Bulgaria. It manufactures and markets ice cream under brands including Denny and Favorit. Competition officials in neighbouring country Romania, said Unilever will have to dispose its assets in that market for its move to buy local ice-cream business Betty Ice to be approved. The acquisition of Sladoledena Fabrika comes two months after Unilever acquired Indian ice cream and frozen desserts business Adityaa Milk.

Rainbow Dairy is in the icecream making and distributing business for the past five years with a double digit growth and a manufacturing facility close to Kolkata and is aiming at high growth rate of 100 per cent with new flavours with Italian tie-up.

est Bengal’s home grown ice-cream maker is going to seal a deal with Italian frozen dessert company to get 40 per cent stake in it. According to Rainbow Dairy Food Product Managing Partner Siddhartha Sankar Ghosh, the deal is in advanced talks with two Italian frozen dessert companies for technical and financial joint venture which will be sealed with one of them in a month’s time, and the company will divest 40 per cent

‘Milkberry’ has a current capacity of 800 litres/ hour and presence in the eastern and north eastern states, with more than 40 variants and flavours. The deal is advised by an Italian consulting company ‘Bizdev’ and an MoU was signed with it. Jean-Claude Morel, founder-managing partner, Bizdev, Italy, said “Italian companies are very impressed and excited over the positive developments taking place in West Bengal recently and I personally attended Bengal chief minister’s business meetings in Milan as part of the Italian business team and our interest in this part of India grew manifold.

Mochi ice cream catching on as fastest frozen item

lthough the Japanese rice dough dessert has existed for centuries, it’s now one of the top-selling frozen treats in grocery stores in the U.S. My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream has taken advantage of that expanding market. Since starting in spring 2017, the brand’s mochi ice cream — portable 110-calorie ice cream bites held in small balls of Japanese rice dough — are now in more than 12,000 stores nationwide, including Walmart, Safeway, Wegmans and Kroger. As the market for the product continues to grow, My/Mo has built a snacking platform that is focused on product development. The company has launched three new types of mochi ice cream, including non-dairy, vegan and ice cream pints with mochi bits. But to keep up with the competition, the company continues to launch even more new products.

Now, the brand announced its latest product innovation, a new triple layer mochi ice cream coming to grocery stores nationwide in early 2019. The new product contains the traditional mochi dough exterior wrapped around ice cream with a new center layer. The new triple layer mochi ice cream comes in four flavors: chocolate sundae, vanilla blueberry, chocolate peanut butter and dulce de leche. Mochi falls into the frozen novelty category, which is basically a flat category and … the millennial consumer is really looking for something different. So this new product, you have this weird snack, which is handheld and portable and it’s portion control. So there’s 110 calories in each serving and it satisfies their craving for indulgence. So it really checks all the boxes as far as the consumers that we target and is a perfect snack for those folks.

IICE Profile 2018

I ce Cream Times - November-December 2018

As Predicted, IICE 8 World’s Second B

et another chapter of growth for Indian ice cream industry started post IICE 2018 in Chennai this Oct.

IICE has become a platform for the entire global ice cream and allied industry to collaborate for launching new trends. New technologies were mostly in demand in IICE 2018. On the hand, some very interesting flavours and ingredients for ice cream were on display. Suppliers of machineries from Global companies like Tetrapak and Technoice to Indian manufacturers like Cold Tech and Shruti Ice Make were all busy in booking orders for the next season. Ice cream industry is on a stage where everybody is increasing their production capacities. Manufacturers especially from Punjab, Gujarat and Southern states of the country were mostly seen booking orders for ice-making machines for making bigger capacity plants for ice cream processing. Companies like Agrana Food, Barry Callebout, Delta, Food Coast, KP Manish, VKC Nuts, all were seen busy in creating awareness about doing better experiments with the ice creams in India. According to A. Balaraju, Director of one of the biggest South Indian brands Dairy Classic, ice cream industry is receiving larger demand from South India due to various reasons. He added cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kochi have become centres for young and aspiring people hence they go for trendy food consumption including ice creams more than people of other ages. And this is the category never shies experimenting new flavours. These cities are also attracting major chunk of tourists from other parts of the country. On the beaches of Kerala or Vizak one can witness queues of ice cream push carts of different brands any time of the day. According to Girish Pai, Director, Natural Ice creams, “The range of flavours Indian ice cream industry offering is much bigger than any country in the world. India has diverse tastes from north to south and east to west. Due to inter mingling of cultures and tastes especially in metro and semi metro cities people get variety of flavours and they don’t hesitate trying them. He also added that in the western world we just have very few flavours accepted by the masses. Personally I had been to China a couple of times and saw very few flavours available on the shelves compared to India and similar trend I saw in many European cities unlike in Italy, the land of Gelatos. Indian manufacturers will not shy making Peru flavour with red chilly masala to spread on the ice scoop. Manufactures are not shying making Gajar ka Halwa, or Delhi Chat ice cream in Rajkot or Ahmedabad. Sheerkhurma or Firini ice creams by naturals are popular in Ramazan on their outlets and Sohan Papri and Kaju Katri flavours are popular in Jaipur. These variations provide great opportunities to flavouring and other ingredients companies to try and explore better products with ice cream manufacturers in India”. Out of 7000 odd manufacturers in India 6500 are still making ice creams with very less automation, 400 will be manufacturing with limited automation and just 50 or more will be having some advance automation in their manufacturing units. This provides great opportunity to the automation and machinery providing companies to make them aware of the latest technology to buy these machineries. Packaging machinery and materials were also topic of discussion during IICE 2018 because until and unless your ice cream is not packed in proper packaging with attractive designs and cooler outlook people will be hesitant to try them. Even a cup can attract consumers to go for it, next to follow is taste. One more area of growth in ice cream industry is cold chain especially deep freezers. Unless and until you don’t provide one to your super special ice cream seller how would he store and sell the ice creams. In most of the cases it is provided with minimum deposit or free of cost. Even a midsize manufacturer holds 10 thousand deep freezers in the market, bigger size will have a cost not less than a lakh or much more. And that’s the reason why IICE 2018 had most and biggest stalls occupied by deep freezer companies like Haier, Blue Star, Western, Godrej, Voltas, Rockwell, Ace technologies, Indicool, KapFrost, Euronova, Elanpro, Carry Cool and many more. As per some of these companies, I had a chance to speak, are selling two lakh to three lack units every year. And top 3 sellers might be having larger numbers. Most of these brands have also been providing customised solutions for each brands i.e. providing solution which suits a particular brand. This time IICE also had approximately 25 percent companies from different parts of the world such as China, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, UK, USA, Iran, Norway, Italy, Germany, France, Australia, etc. IICE is noticed by global ice cream industry as a fastest growing ice cream shows in the world. Today IICE is the second to Sigep in Italy the biggest show in the world. There is big gap in the sizes of both these events but IICE is just after Sigep as per latest figure of IICE 2018. Visitor’s profile of the show was also having teeming number of visitors from different parts of the globe. Over all the show was a great hit and satisfied all the delegates, visitors and exhibitors. Next year as per the popular demand of the industry IICE will take place in Gandhi Nagar twin city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat. Gujarat is the capital of ice cream industry of India. We hope IICE will break all its previous records in 2019!

Gandhi said that manufacturers are now investing on their capacity expansion as well innovating new flavours and this event is a perfect platform to get innovative ideas. Gandhi has dedicated his 40 years to ice cream business and he enjoys every moment of it. When asked about the selection of different location of conducting the events every year, he spontaneously replied, “One of the reason why we do exhibitions in various locations is keeping in mind to involve the local manufacturers, Local vendors, local ingredient suppliers, local technicians so that there is an equal participation and opportunities given to all . Hence, Chennai too is same exercise that we are following. We have already done the event in Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore adding variety to the places, states and cities”.

Gandhi also expressed his growing concern on couple of issues facing ice cream industry. Of the two major issues one is power supply which is not there in 2 tier and other smaller cities. Gradually the power supply is gaining momentum, and will eventually cover all major and smaller cities which are good indication for ice cream industry. The second biggest drawback is the recent taxation policy. All major countries are having very low taxes, say about 0-5%. Unfortunately ice cream is treated as luxury food in our country hence charged at 18% that is very unfortunate. This is creating discouragement among the consumers. This also hampers the growth of dairy industry as well as ice cream industry and adversely affects employment. Compared to other countries, India consumes far less amount of ice cream reason being affordability. Something that is meant for stomach like food and drugs should be charged very less just like in Middle East and other western countries. If the taxes are charged on lower level, it will help the industry to flourish and guarantee employment, pay better remunerations to the farmers. India has the biggest dairy industry in the world and it consumes large amount of dairy products. Thus, lower taxation will help the growth of the economy. Only solution is to bring down the taxes and \that will be really a boon to ice cream industry. What we do at IICMA is to educate people on technical issues and food safety as that is IICMA’s prima facie. Ice cream manufacturers are taking utmost care in creating a fraternity for consumers and to look after their safety in food consumption. “To say about AIM Events, it is a wonderful organization and has done a great job. AIM Events started with 7 stalls 7 years back and today we have 200+ exhibitors along with 30% of overseas participation. I would like to thank AIM Events on putting up with a great and pompous show in encompassing the entire ice cream industry on one showground. No manufacturer, no vendor, no supplier would like to miss this wonderful event. The popularity of the Expo is getting bigger and bigger year on year. AIM Events are doing an excellent job,” concluded Rajesh Gandhi.

The few of the reviews by renowned personalities are put forth to make our audience understand better the magnitude of the event. Ashish Nahar-Joint Secretary-IICMA, Director Cremica and Fun India Dairy has emphasized the need of the hour for ice cream industry. According to Nahar, basically ice cream industry has already grown and nourished in western part of India till date. But it still lacks in cold chain infrastructure and other facilities given by the government and also by the companies. India still lags behind in ice cream industry as compared to other countries. Also per capita consumption of ice cream is very low in India. Still India is trying to be at par with the help of the government and other manufacturers and IICMA at large. He also stated that previously there were fewer shops and parlours of ice cream where domestic brands and locally made ice cream was served. But with Indian brands and entry of international brands has encouraged sales and franchises of branded ice cream with more and more shops and parlours cropping up at every nook and corner. This is an indication for the best future for the ice cream industry.

A.Balaraju, Director Dairy Classic, Bangalore, Committee Member IICMA spoke to Ice Cream Times giving details of success in ice cream industry. Dairy Classic company is a 15 year old ice cream manufacturing company taking care of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and other cities of South India. Started with help of 4 colleagues in 2002, today they stand where they are with concrete efforts and hard work mingled with faith in each other. The hard work has paid beyond their imagination. Balaraju stressed to put 100% efforts and add experiences to the work which is the key to success. Ice cream industry, if one looks worldwide from international point of view may not be growing in double digits, but only China and India is showing a growth rate in double digits pace. Since last 5-10 years has seen a consistent 12-15% growth that has brought the industry to this stage. Availability in cold chain sector has elevated the industry to the next level. Today ice cream industry is taking a very good shape. Cold chain is steadily reaching II cities and other small cities of India. Though originated from Dairy industry, today ice cream industry has created its own identity and stand in the global market. Taking good opportunity at proper time, constant sincerity and good service to the consumers is the guru mantra for any success. Talking about the formation of the IICMA, initially there were some hesitations which gradually faded away with the help of constant meetings and get together, this where Firoz stepped in with the proposal for the event and to make this dream come true. He has taken a keen interest in bring us all together on this platform called Indian Ice Cream Expo. He has really done a great job by being the part of this association and considering himself one among us. He has treated ice cream industry as his own. Though outside all ice cream manufacturers are competitors but once they are here in these two days of expo, we form one large family discussing pros and cons of the business. It doesn’t matter if the manufacturers are big or small but the problems faced by each are similar. This is here in this event one finds proper solutions and a way out of issues. The Association helps to solve issues and also makes them meet newer prospective clients and who’s who in the industry. The atmosphere that is created in the expo would never been felt earlier. All the best to Firoz the way he puts efforts to bring full success to the show has taken ice cream industry as his own. Day in day out the way he gets involved in the day to day working with ice cream industry people is amazing. Sometimes new joiners ask as to what they will get out of it. Well it’s difficult to explain. Only once when you join IICMA one will experience the difference and the benefits that they will reap under this banner. It will be 100 per cent satisfaction once they join the Association. My humble request on behalf of IICMA is manufacturers must join and increase the membership manifolds. IICMA does not distinguish between big or small players; it is wide open to exchange knowledge and views. All manufacturers from tier II or tier III cities must join the expo for the same purpose. Once again I congratulate: Great job done by Firoz and his team. IICMA supports and will be standing by him in all future events.

New water buffalo milk gelato David Smith of Frozen Happiness described as ‘buttery and velvety’ Initiative announces 2nd Round of Charitable Contributions introducing a new product simply to rely on novelty. The trick is to get people coming back again and again. “They will only come back when it’s amazing,” he said.

ames Coleridge at Uno Gelato in Kitsilano has created Buffalo Lemon, the country’s only gelato made with water buffalo milk. Not only is it buttery and creamy, it’s also a gelato that can be tolerated with people with allergies to milk products Buffalo Lemon is made with water buffalo milk from Tesfa Farms in the Fraser Valley, B.C. birch syrup from Sweet Tree Ventures in Quesnel and lemon oil from Sicily. Water buffalo milk has an A2 beta-casein protein which is believed to be safer for people with allergies to cow’s milk. Coleridge has tried making gelato with goat’s milk, which has a protein that lactose intolerant people can eat, but it produced a gamey taste. Other benefits of water buffalo milk include having 58 per cent more calcium, 40 per cent more protein, and 43 per cent less cholesterol than cow’s milk. The price is $6 a scoop at the Uno Gelato store on West Broadway (Uno Gelato’s two other outlets in Stamps Landing and Canada Place are closed for the winter). Coleridge said it’s not enough when

“When you try wild buffalo gelato, you go — what’s that? It really comes down to the buttery, velvety mouth feel.” Coleridge, who is Uno Gelato’s chief innovator and visionary, said Buffalo Lemon was created with a new emulsification process from Italy that breaks up the fat molecules to create a creamier mouth feel. Lemon oil is added at the start of the longer process which, he says, helps to join the flavours together. Coleridge originally introduced water buffalo gelato in lemon, chocolate and coffee flavours in 2015 when he previously co-owned two Bella Gelateria stores. He believes that as people grow more conscious about what they eat and put in their bodies, the demand for water buffalo milk will grow. Uno Gelato‘s Buffalo Lemon is the only water buffalo gelato made and sold in Canada, Coleridge said. “I’m always looking at diversifying the concept of frozen deserts,” he said. “We want people to try it because we think it is a whole new division of gelato or ice cream. Once you try it, there’s no going back.”

avid Smith, founder of Smith Global Ventures and former Chief Operating Officer of iconic ice cream brands company Coolbrands International Inc., has announced another installment of charitable contributions as part of the recently launched Frozen Happiness Initiative. The Frozen Happiness Initiative is named after Frusen Glädjé, a popular ice cream brand that Smith’s father, Richard E. Smith, created in the 1980’s. Frusen Glädjé means “Frozen Happiness” in Swedish. The brand was sold in distinctive white domed containers in supermarkets at the time and has been featured in popular TV series such as Family Guy, The Americans, and The Orville. The Smith family has a long history in the ice cream business and has been associated with other famous brands over the years such as Chipwich and Eskimo Pie. The purpose of The Frozen Happiness Initiative is to support charitable organiza-

tions, which are making a difference in the lives of adults, children, animals, and the environment, and to identify and help guide innovative new startups, focused on the ice cream and frozen dessert sector.

Mondi Kalenobel to start trials for plastic-free ice cream packaging

global market, and consumption growth is driven by impulse purchases sold as a single portion in a stick, cone or cup format.

ondi Kalenobel is going to start trials to make plastic- free ice cream packaging that does not need a polymer coating, testing materials for push-up and squeeze-up tubes.

Mondi Kalenobel supplies ice cream cone sleeves, cone lids, paper cups, and push-up tubes, but Hoeglund said it sees room for further growth in all those product areas, as well as in squeeze-up tubes and push-up lids.

It has also commercialized a custom-designed cone sleeve with a clear plastic window so that consumers can see the sugar wafer cone underneath.

The previously noted seasonality of the ice cream business means, currently, about 50 cone sleeve machines run 24/7 for a couple of months per year and Mondi’s goal by 2019 is to leverage its global network to expand production and reduce geographical dependencies.

The announcement comes after Mondi’s acquisition of Kalenobel in Turkey in 2016, where it has been learning about the market and creating a managerial and sales structure to handle the business. Christian Hoeglund, business development manager, ice cream packaging, Mondi, said Mondi currently has 10 sales people assigned to the ice cream business in Europe and Russia, and is studying how best to structure its operation in North America.

550 staff and has its headquarters in Istanbul and production facilities in Kirklareli. According to Hoeglund, factors such as seasonality, consumer behavior, and novel production technology tend to make the ice cream packaging business different from other consumer packaging sectors, and it takes time to absorb all of the sector’s intricacies

“We’re doing market mapping there now and we plan to appoint someone to head that market by early 2019,” he said. Mondi Kalenobel employs

There also tend to be country-specific trends. For example, in Italy, ice cream consumption is among the highest in Europe, but consumers buy the prod-

uct from local kiosks, which means Mondi sells more paper cups in Italy than cone sleeves. Eastern European markets, on the other hand, want a more diverse product offering from country to country. Euromonitor claims there is evidence that new players in emerging markets such as Georgia, Ukraine and Thailand can rise rapidly and seize market share. Euromonitor said global ice cream retail sales in 2017 were about $74bn, and are growing. Europe accounts for roughly 30% of the

Cone sleeves consist of kraft paper plus aluminum, and Mondi plans to leverage its internal supply chain with kraft paper plants in the same group. Mondi Kalenobel recently launched a custom-designed cone sleeve with a clear plastic window for consumers to see the sugar wafer cone underneath. Family-owned sugar-cone maker Oexmann & Co. of Gelsenkirchen, Germany, approached Mondi in 2016, asking to produce the sleeve. “Mondi was the only supplier to accept this challenge,” said Sedat Igbar, commercial manager Europe, Mondi Kalenobel. “And we did it. The first commercial products hit the shelves in May.” Oexmann, which first began making ice cream cones in Gelsenkirchen in 1926, ships the sleeves to Auckland- based ice cream producer Fonterra Brands (New Zealand), which is using them to package some of its premium cones. The oval clear window measures 2.3cm high by 1.8cm wide and is made of biodegradable lm. Mondi Kalenobel further created a small, seethrough window, laser cut to the outline shape of the New Zealand island of Kapiti on the cone lid. Fonterra liked the idea and Mondi is now supplying custom-made lids in addition to the cone sleeves. “We’re focused on finding the packaging even if it takes six months or a year,” added Igbar.

Mochi ice cream looks to revolutionize novelty desserts

y/Mo Mochi is expanding its US line of mochi ice cream, a novelty dessert of Asian origin that consists of ice cream wrapped in dough. The brand will launch a Triple Layer variety after January 1st 2019.

Mochi ice cream is a niche dessert concept in the US that’s recently hit its stride. It was invented by a Japanese-American entrepreneur and launched in the US in the early 1990s. My/Mo took over that company in 2015 and has since been pioneering the sale of mochi ice cream in the US. Russell Barnett, CMO at My/Mo Mochi, said, “What Chobani did to Greek yogurt and Kind did to bars, My/Mo and mochi in general is doing to the frozen novelty space.” He said unit sales of mochi ice cream are up 140% year-over-year, and My/Mo is found in more than 12,000 stores nationwide. It sells mochi in the original format: boxed packages of frozen balls of ice cream wrapped in a sticky rice dough. It comes in eight flavors like Double Chocolate, Sweet Mango and Green Tea. It also offers four separate flavors that are completely non-dairy and vegan. My/Mo wanted to keep the original intent of having mochi in the snack category, but also recognized its potential as a competitive dessert. That led to its launch of ‘deconstructed’ ice cream pints, flavored like the snacks and chunked with bits of mochi dough. Now the brand prepares for its latest release, coming in early 2019. The new triple layer mochi ice cream adds a ‘taste bud-tantalizing’ center layer to the original recipe. The line includes Chocolate Sundae, vanilla ice cream wrapped in chocolate dough with a cherry center. Vanilla Blueberry, Dulce de Leche and Chocolate Peanut butter round out the launch.

“The frozen novelty category had been ripe for innovation and My/Mo brought excitement back to the category with the creation of a handheld, portion-controlled snack platform that consumers didn’t even know they needed. With this launch, we wanted to take it a step further to really ‘wow’ snack fanatics with new flavors and textures,” Barnett said. My/Mo wants to strike while the snacking iron is hot among young people. Barnett shared that millennials are the brand’s clear target market, citing their tendency to ll their days with snacks and eat several times a day rather than just three specific meals. “As millennials are the largest living generation and if you’re not talking to them and with them, then I think [that is] a bit of a miss. It is definitely a millennial consumer. We lovingly say we’re a colorful brand for colorful people,” he said.

Mochi Ice Cream? Tell me!!!

( ) is a small round mochi stuffed with sweet red bean paste but some are filled with white bean paste (Shiroan). Daifuku can also be made with shiratamako or mochiko glutinous rice/sweet rice flour. Daifuku was first made almost 700 years ago, but not as a sweet dessert. Then at that time, sugar was rare, but Daifuku became more like today’s dessert when sugar became available but still was rare.

ochi (Japanese: ), a confectionery called Mochi ice cream is made from Japanese mochi (pounded sticky rice) with an ice cream filling. It was invented by Japanese-American businesswoman and activist Frances Hashimoto.

In appearance Mochi ice cream is a small, round delicacy consisting of a soft, pounded sticky rice dumpling (mochi) formed around an ice cream scoop as a filling. The exotic flavours of ice cream add zest to the confection while the mochi adds sweetness and texture. The much-liked traditional ice cream flavors used are vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Not only the regular flavors but other striking flavours such as Kona coffee, plum wine, green tea, and red bean are also widely used. As Mochi is made from the pounded rice, it too can be blended with essences to give touch of flavored as a complement to the ice cream filling. Dusting or sprinkling mochi with dehydrated potato powder or cornstarch is done to keep it from sticking while being formed and handled. Mochi Rice Cake Mochi, or Japanese rice cakes, is one of Japan’s favorite foods. It is not only a traditional food with many ways to enjoy it, but it is also incorporated into modern dishes of various international cuisines.

Molded from steamed mochigome, a short-grained gummy rice commonly found in East Asia, the cooked rice is kneaded to form dough that can be reshaped for various uses both savory and sweet. The finished mochi has a unique texture that the Japanese describe as (“fuwa-fuwa” ), meaning “soft and pillowy.” Sugar is added for a subtle sweetness that accentuates the delicate flavor of rice ice cream. Mochi is designed to the perfect portion. Care is taken with the proportion for rice dough and ice cream filling. Each piece has just the right amount of mochi to complement the ice cream without overpowering it. The right recipe enables to create a very thin layer of mochi while keeping it soft and smooth. When bit into the delicate mochi casing, it adds a wonderful texture and lightness to the ice cream with every bite. Slightly sweet pressed rice that’s really good as chopped topping in yogurt ice cream, it firms up and becomes chewy when cold. But mochi by itself is like thick and kind of firm marshmallow texture with floury sweet taste.

Japanese daifuku Japanese daifuku and manjū are the predecessor to mochi ice cream, commonly featuring azuki bean filling. Due to the temperature and consistency of mochi and ice cream, both components must be customized. This is to achieve the right tackiness that will remain constant regardless of changes in temperature and climate. An early predecessor form of the dessert was originally produced by Lotte, as Yukimi Daifuku in 1981. The company first made the product by using a rice starch in stead of sticky rice and rice milk instead of real ice cream.

Daifuku Mochi ( ), is one of the most traditional but very popular Japanese sweet, Daifuku

The credit of inventing mochi ice cream goes to Frances Hashimoto, the former president and CEO of Mikawaya. Hashimoto’s husband, Joel Friedman, conceived the idea of taking small orbs of ice cream and wrapping them in a Japanese traditional mochi rice cake. Frances Hashimoto seeking the chance expanded on her husband’s idea, invented the fusion dessert which has now become popular in the United States and worldwide. One after the other, Hashimoto introduced seven flavors in the mochi ice cream range.

a sodden mess. Friedman explained that in order to conduct perfect production of mochi ice cream, experts ranging from construction to microbiology were brought in to perfect the state-of-the-art production making. Mikawaya first launched their Mochi Ice Cream in Hawaii in 1994. The frozen treat became so popular that it instantly captured 15 per cent of the novelty frozen treat market during the onset of its first four months. How should mochi ice cream be eaten? Sink your teeth into, take a bite, plunk the entire mochi ice cream ball into your mouth; cut them into pieces—the possibilities of ingesting are endless. Is Mochi vegan? All traditional Japanese sweets are mainly vegan, especially those made from mochi (sticky) rice and azuki bean paste. Also included are warabi mochi, made from a fern root, kanten (a jelly made from seaweed gelatin). Dango (mochi that is shaped as a ball) is also vegan. What gives mochi its green hue? Kusamochi is a variety of mochi made from sticky rice and yomogi, which is a Japanese mugwort plant. Kusamochi can turn green with the use of powdered yomogi or it may include flecks of yomogi leaf. Is Mochi ice cream gluten free? Though made from a stickier, sweeter type of rice, mochi has a stretchy, chewy texture that’s actually naturally gluten-free. What is Taro mochi? Taro root Once eaten on occasion of Japanese New Year, Taro Mochi Ice cream finds place in bellies in any event. No excuse is required to gulp ever delicious Taro Mochi, made with taro root filling enclosed in pressed sweet rice. . A starchy, tuberous root (technically a corm), taro tastes much like a sweet potato, doesn’t fall apart when cooked, and soaks up flavor like a sponge. The taro plant is a tropical plant with large green leaves. Its root is starchy and high in fiber and is most often compared to a sweet potato or yam with pleasantly purple insides. What is the refrigerator life of Mochi? At room temperature mochi will stand for 24 hours. It tastes best at the day on the day of purchase. Up to 2 weeks is the shelf life in the freezer.

manjū

Is consuming mochi ice cream healthy calorie-wise? Mochi ice cream is made up of mostly sugar and carbohydrates. One average size mochi ice cream ball contains around 56 calories, 0.1g of fat, 13 g of carbohydrates, 0.6g of protein and 5g of sugar. Is mochiko the same as rice flour? It has some thickening properties, but is better used in gluten-free flour mixes for baked goods. Sweet rice flour is ground from short-grain glutinous rice, aka “sticky rice. Though the fact that it’s called glutinous rice, does not mean that it contains gluten.

Azuki bean filling In 1993, Mikawaya began production of mochi ice cream in the United States. It took a decade for the R & D dept to develop mochi ice cream into the mass production as we see it today. Due to the complex interactions of the ingredients and minute intricacies caused the delay of the mass production. A lot of trial and error method was experimented in order to successfully case the delicate mochi dough over the ice cream without leaving

What does red bean mochi taste like? Red Bean Mochi has a unique texture that is slightly chewy from the rice flour casing, yet is soft on the inside. It has a unique, sweet flavor and is smoother than ice cream, with a melting consistency in mouth. It’s made from a red bean paste that tastes like a dessert. If visiting Japan, don’t miss on Mochi Ice Cream!!! So Happy Munching!!!

Dairy free kiwi ice cream start-up explodes in China

nnovative Kiwi startup Wahiki Creamery has achieved its biggest commercial international contract to date: Asia’s biggest childcare centre with 20,000 enrolled children. Wahiki Creamery , fresh off exhibiting at China’s biggest ice cream trade show, the 21st Ice Cream China 2018, in October, is positioned to take one of the biggest global markets by storm. Wahiki was the only coconut ice cream company present, out of hundreds of exhibitors and representatives say the interest was huge. Chief executive Haman Shahpari says there are immense opportunities for growth in what he calls China’s untapped potential for healthy food alternatives. “We have received a huge reception from the Chinese market that is extremely astute and keen on innovative, healthy food alternatives that address the major health questions of our era such as dairy, sugar and calorie intake. “The Chinese are a progressive market when it comes to food and are active and enthusiastic about providing their population with better-foryou products such as our low sugar, low calorie, vegan, dairy free, gluten free ice cream. “We have essentially eliminated all the risk factors out of ice cream while retaining ice cream’s traditional characteristics such as creaminess, texture and taste: all the things that make it the single biggest universally loved frozen dessert.” Wahiki Creamery’s deal with Cathay Future will see the first coconut ice cream brand and kiwi brand to be featured at the leading-edge education-

al facility. With headquarters in Tianjin, China, the school has been an international leader in educational enrichment for more than 20 years. It boasts having catered to more than 100,000 students from around the world, and in 2015 launched its global expansion program which saw it establish the Cathay School in Rockville, Maryland in the United States. Shahpari says the deal marks the beginning of a long term, strategic relationship with the global economic power. “The Chinese have shown us no hesitation in hearing about the health and benefits of our products and have demonstrated that they are actively looking for ongoing innovation and product development which delivers in the better-for-you markets. “We are currently working on other channels as well continuing to re-innovate and reformulate to produce ice cream that isn’t just delicious but market leading for its health and wellness offerings.” Wahiki Creamery produces vegan, dairy free and low sugar ice cream flavours and is the only ice cream brand to be certified gluten free by Coeliac New Zealand. It also produces New Zealand’s only dairy free, vegan matcha flavor and released the world’s first turmeric latte flavour in March 2018. It is the only ice cream brand to include turmeric, black pepper, ginger and cinnamon, all superfoods. “This is the only the beginning for us – we are taking ice cream where no one else has before and will be putting out even more flavours previously unheard of,” says Shahpari.

The ultimate in zero-wastage: Edible Packaging

on, too, offering edible straws to purchasers of its premixed canned drinks such as Pimm’s & Lemonade (with a strawberry straw), or Bailey’s & Iced Coffee Latte (with chocolate).

fter years of shopping our groceries, storing leftovers in plastic containers and drinking water from plastic bottles, consumers are moving away from this convenient, easy to handle, but difficult-to-compost compound. Even the British Queen is not amused; she recently banned bottles and straws from Buckingham Palace and Balmoral Castle (as well as her 10 other royal homes). Spurred on by a shift in the world’s eco-consciousness, savvy entrepreneurs are beginning to offer sustainable options that tick off all the right boxes, making available containers and packaging that are marine-degradable, compostable, organic – and to top it : edible. Soon, you might eat your burger and its wrapper, too. Sip an iced latte through a seaweed straw and get your water fix from a transparent capsule that looks suspiciously like the detergent pods we throw into the washing machine. “Everywhere you go in the world, plastics are a huge issue,” says Sylvain Charlebois, a professor in food distribution and policy, and scientific director of the Agrifood Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, UK. “We’re still in the early part of this innovation cycle but biodegradable food packaging is becoming more readily accepted. Edible packaging is making gains, too, it’s just been slower to catch on.” Last spring, hard beverage giant Pernod Ricard announced “the straw of the future” made out of seaweed, organic sweeteners and colours derived from fruits and vegetables. Its British rival Diageo jumped on the bandwag-

Candy Cutlery, a company based in Newmarket, Ont., makes edible candy spoons. Two entrepreneurs from Indonesia raised eyebrows with their startup Evoware, which sells sandwich wrappers made of edible seaweed. Fans of Ontario’s Kawartha Dairy’s ice-cream can eat “Death by Chocolate and Moose Tracks” with edible spoons from Markham’s Candy Cutlery. A hit with customers when they launched in three Kawartha Dairy stores this summer, the novelty of the $1 candy spoons soon levelled off, says Phil Chowen, head of retail. Still, the 81-year-old dairy sold enough of them that they plan to offer them in all 10 Kawartha Dairy locations when the scooping season of ice cream resumes next spring. “We think they’re (candy spoon) a unique and fun way to delight our customers,” Chowen says. “And we want to help the environment by reducing the need for plastic spoons.” And as for the water orbs, called Ooho (pronounced Yoohoo), they are the brainchild of Skipping Rocks Lab of Britain. Made out of brown algae, they serve up one large gulp at a time – a combination that could be a hard sell. “It’s great to commercialize edible packaging, but are people actually going to eat it?” Charlebois says. “And what if you don’t like seaweed?”

In Refrigeration the efficiency is measured in terms of COP (Co efficient of Performance) COP is measured as Refrigeration capacity achieved per unit of power consumed in same unit of measurement as same operating conditions. Thus COP = Capacity in kW ÷ Power in kW COP of commonly used refrigerants as published by Compressor Manufacturers. According to ASHRAE and the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR), ammonia is a cost-effective, efficient alternative to CFCs and HCFCs that is also safe for the environment. If the ammonia plant is executed with Heavy Class or Seamless pipes, uses weldable valves instead of large heavy flanged valves, reputed make controls, welding is carried out with root run welding with TIG or Gas welding, ammonia does not leak from the system for decades, of course the ammonia plant and

equipment have to be maintained well for efficient operation and zero leakage comes as bonus. As a refrigerant, ammonia has four major distinct advantages over CFCs and HCFCs: An ammonia-based refrigeration system costs 1020% less to build than one that uses CFCs because narrower-diameter piping can be used when compared apple to apple. Ammonia is a 5-20% more efficient refrigerant than CFCs, depending upon evaporating and condensing pressures so an ammonia-based system requires less electricity, resulting in lower operating costs. Ammonia is safe for the environment, with an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) rating of 0 and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating of 0. Ammonia is substantially less expensive than CFCs or HCFCs in first cost and replacement of refrigerant charge. Ammonia is poisonous only in very high concentrations. Two factors, however, mitigate this risk: ammonia’s distinctive smell is detectable at concentrations well below those considered to be dangerous, and ammonia is lighter than air, so even if it does leak, it will rise and dissipate into the atmosphere. Mr. Chandrakant P. Patel, CMD, Ice Make Refrigeration Limited said “The Company is strongly focusing on innovative refrigeration engineering as there is huge requirement for Cold Storages in the Country in addition to over 100 Food Parks that are being

developed in the next few years. Ice Make will be able to extend services for ammonia based large cold stores for storage of Milk & Milk products and Blast Freezing & Hardening Chambers for Ice Cream, Meat, Poultry, Paneer, Cheese and Butter among Ammonia is 5 to 20% more thermodynamically efficient than its other competitive refrigerants. This allows an ammonia-based refrigeration system to achieve the same cooling effect while using less power. As a result, where ammonia refrigeration is appropriate, it can offer lower long-termoperation costs. We have already received few orders for this and expecting good response from the market.” The Company has hired Mr.KishorManglani, a Mechanical Engineer with 35 years of rich experience, expertise, with specialization in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning to head Ammonia Refrigeration Division and Projects (along with other refrigeration design, project planning & management, commissioning and service engineers). Mr. Manglani has worked with Voltas, Alfa Laval, York Refrigeration and IDMC among others in past.

Tackling the silent killer with a low glycaemic diet By Christian Philippsen, Managing Director, BENEO Asia Pacific

eld every year in November, World Diabetes Day sees events around the globe that highlight efforts to prevent and manage diabetes. More than 425 million people around the world currently live with diabetes, a figure that exceeds the combined populations of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore . To put things into perspective, that means more than 425 million people currently live with a lethal precursor to serious health issues such as blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes. The diabetes epidemic is especially rampant in Asia Pacific and governments in the region have ramped up efforts to pro-

mote healthier and more nutritious eating habits. In 2016, for instance, the Singapore government launched a “war on diabetes” as the city-state had one of the highest incidences of diabetes among developed countries. In a country where one out of nine citizens suffered from diabetes, the Healthier Ingredient Development Scheme was devised to encourage manufacturers to produce healthier food products. An effective way for food manufacturers to support the fight against diabetes is to produce healthier foods that contain carbohydrates with low glycaemic properties. This means they help to reduce the glycaemic response of food and drink products. The glycaemic index measures how a particular food raises one’s blood glucose. Eating foods with a low glycaemic response prevents large fluctuations in blood glucose levels, hence reducing one’s chances of contracting diabetes. There are two approaches to lowering the blood glucose response of finished food products. The first is to modify the glucose supply with low glycaemic carbohydrates such as Palatinose™ (isomaltulose). This helps to ensure that carbohy-

drate energy enters the body in a slow and steady way. The second is to reduce overall glucose supply by sugar replacement using partially-digestible carbohydrates such as the sugar replacer ISOMALT, or non-available carbohydrates such as the dietary fibres Orafti® Inulin and Orafti® Oligofructose. Using Palatinose™ – the next generation sugar BENEO’s low glycaemic, fully yet slowly digestible carbohydrate Palatinose™ supplies the body with the same amount of energy as other common, fully available carbohydrates such as sucrose or maltodextrin, but in a more balanced way. This is due to Palatinose™ being digested by the human enzymes in the small intestine four to five times more slowly, which leads to a slow release of glucose into the blood, resulting in an overall low glycaemic response. Derived from beet sugar, Palatinose™ has a natural sweet taste. It can be used to replace sucrose and other high glycaemic carbohydrates in many food and drink applications. Incorporating ISOMALT – the ideal sugar replacer An alternative method to generate a lower glycaemic response in foods is to reduce the amount of glucose it supplies. Substituting fully available

carbohydrates with partially available ones such as BENEO’s ISOMALT is an effective way to curb glucose supply. ISOMALT, the only sugar replacer from beet sugar, has a very low effect on blood sugar levels and does not trigger insulin release to any significant extent. With its sugar-like taste, this bulk sweetener can replace sugar in a 1:1 ratio in various applications. Aside from being the number one sugar replacer in sugar-free hard candies worldwide, it is also popular in products like baked goods and cereals. Tapping onto the rich fibres of an ancient vegetable BENEO’s functional fibres inulin and oligofructose are also an additional, effective option when looking to reduce the glucose supply of foods. Both fibres are prebiotic with a mild sweet taste and are naturally derived from the chicory root. When used to partially replace high glycaemic sugars, these chicory fibres effectively reduce the glycaemic response of foods while still offering excellent taste and texture results. At the same time, inulin and oligofructose also enrich foods with fibre content, thus helping consumers to reach the recommended level of the daily dietary fibre intake. The winning formula for food manufacturers Efforts to promote healthier lifestyles in Asia Pacific is gathering pace and food manufacturers can play a key role in the fight against diabetes. By incorporating BENEO’s functional food ingredients that do not exert strain on blood glucose levels such as Palatinose™, ISOMALT and Orafti® inulin and oligofructose, food manufacturers can cater to the growing demands for healthier products that can help reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

Jelly Belly brand now in ice cream form in the UAE

elly Belly, the world-famous jelly beans brand, is now available in ice cream form in the UAE after the launch of Jelly Belly Ice Cream. The UAE ice cream brand has been created by JB Brands Management, under the chairmanship of Sheikh Mohammed Saud Sultan Al Qasimi and initially has four parlours across the country. The brand said in a statement that it intends to expand its operations over the next 12 months beyond the first outlets at Al Seef, La Mer, Deira City Centre, and Ajman City Centre. All products are developed by the resident chef and produced at the purpose-built JB MENA Ice Cream Factory in Dubai, using the finest natural ingredients for an authentic taste, the statement added. Alongside 50 ice cream and sorbet flavours, many inspired by Jelly Belly’s most popular beans, customers can also enjoy original creations, signature toppings, and home-made bakery items, the statement said. Paul Rason, Jelly Belly Ice Cream’s chief operating officer said: “With this being Jelly Belly’s first gourmet ice cream offering it was imperative to get the depth of flavour and authentic taste experience absolutely right. “It is something we have achieved, exceeding expectations, with a combination of advanced technology, creativity, and passion and we are extremely proud to launch Jelly Belly Ice Cream here in the UAE, before taking the taste adventure further afield.” Vasco Valenca, Jelly Belly Ice Cream’s chef, added: “From capturing the sweet intensity of Very Cherry, to creating the brand new Carrot Cake Ice Cream with actual carrot cake pieces, our quest for the highest quality ingredients has taken us around the world. “Customer feedback has been fantastic and we’re continuously working to enhance our selection with seasonal flavours and tasty surprises.”

Dairy, berry producers scream for ice cream

makes it complicated.” After a short series of lectures, Tharp had the group evaluate nine vanilla ice cream samples in a blind taste test, with con-

“If we follow all the rules that we’ve been talking about, we get happy consumers,” he said.

regon State University hosted its first Ice Cream Science, Technology and Supply class Nov. 6-7 at the Food Innovation Center in Portland, with support from dairy producers and berry growers. Jeff Heartley and Doug Wells took their time at Oregon State University’s Food Innovation Center in Portland, tasting nine different vanilla ice cream samples and evaluating each based on criteria including appearance, flavor and texture. It’s a tough job, but hey, somebody has got to do it. “The texture on this one is nice and creamy,” remarked Wells, who along with Heartley works in ice cream production at Umpqua Dairy Products in Roseburg, Ore. “The first one I tried was a little icy.” Wells is just six months into the job at Umpqua Dairy, and was one of 63 participants who registered for the first Ice Cream Science, Technology and Supply course hosted by OSU at the Food Innovation Center Nov. 6-7. Sarah Masoni, product and process development director at the Food Innovation Center, said she hopes the program will lead to more high-quality ice cream made in Oregon and across the Pacific Northwest, which in turn would provide more opportunities for local dairy farmers and berry growers to sell their ingredients to market. “Whenever we can create value-added food products, that means we’re bolstering the economy and creating jobs,” Masoni said. In fact, the class was funded by a $17,775 grant awarded by the Oregon Dairy Farmers Association to the OSU Agricultural Research Foundation in 2017. Association Director Tami Kerr said the proposal for an ice cream lab and educational workshop was outside the box, though the board agreed it was something that would ultimately benefit producers. “If processors can produce new and improved ice cream, ultimately that should help with sales, consumption and milk prices,” Kerr said. Oregon has about 210 dairy producers statewide. Milk was the fourth-most valuable agricultural commodity in 2017, at $469.3 million. The milk needed to make ice cream is one thing. New flavors are another potential agricultural market, and that is where Oregon berry growers are seeking to bolster sales of their own. Darcy Kochis, marketing director for the Oregon Raspberry and Blackberry Commission, said the OSU class was a chance to build connections between farmers and producers looking to buy more local fruit, or add flavors. “This is a great opportunity to hit a market that is already buying some fruit, but would maybe do some more,” Kochis said. “If we’re spreading the word, hopefully there will be a buzz around Oregon blackberries and raspberries, and they’ll catch on to that.” Oregon is the top producer of frozen blackberries, black raspberries and boysenberries in the country. The commission represents approximately 300 growers, located predominately in the Willamette Valley.

Kochis said they are especially excited about Columbia Star, a new thorn-less blackberry variety introduced in 2014. “The fruit looks beautiful,” Kochis said. “A lot of people are growing it.” Day one of the two-day workshop was led by Bruce Tharp, of Tharp’s Food Technology, an international training and technical consulting business based in Pennsylvania that specializes in the ice cream industry. Tharp discussed the basic science and principles of making ice cream, such as how to reduce air bubbles and ice crystals in the final product to enhance smoothness and quality. “Frozen desserts are the only food intended to be consumed frozen.” Tharp said. “That
