ang Bai, founder and C E O , Flexfrost ice cream, scoops out samples in a commercial kitchen he rents from St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Montclair. Is lower-calorie protein-enriched ice cream the new frozen yogurt? Yang Bai hopes his homemade Flexfrost ice cream containing 550 calories (per pint), amped up protein content and natural ingredients might be the Next Frozen Dessert. “We are looking to be gigantic,” says Bai, 25, a Glen Ridge resident. “The thing that we have that is incredibly unique is that the ice cream tastes amazing. I guarantee the flavors we have taste a lot better than the normal ice creams you have eaten.” The Johns Hopkins University alum, who studied mechanical engineering, finance and behavioral economics, created his flagship flavors — Chai Vanilla, Colombian Expresso and Chocolate — after experimenting with hundreds of recipes. Bai's ice cream includes 45 grams of protein from whey protein powder derived from milk, eggs and the dairy base (regular dairybased ice cream contains about 15 grams of protein, says Bai), extra virgin coconut oil and sweeteners made from Monk and another fruit and glucose. Tara gum (from the Tara tree) and Gum Arabic (from the Acacia tree) serve as thickeners. Flexfrost Chai Vanilla ice cream The entrepreneur created Flexfrost after he tried developing smoothies as a healthier alternative to the junk food he ate while working out at college (the smoothies turned into an ice chunk when he tried to freeze them.) In addition to marketing Flexfrost to older adults, Bai hopes to partner with gyms to offer the product to its members. Currently, consumers and businesses can purchase the ice cream through flexfrost.com.

ints of Flexfrost ice cream (Courtesy of Yang Bai) “When it comes to body weight, what we know from controlled studies is that the macronutrient c o m p o s i t i o n (composition of the food) is not as important as the calories. So, it's really calories you have to watch,” says Dr. Diana Thomas, director at the Montclair State University Center for Quantitative Obesity Research. While there is no average calorie count for ice cream due to the variations in the amounts of butterfat, air and other ingredients, Dr. Thomas says lower calorie ice creams could be an option for individuals who are looking to regulate their weight. But, they should exercise caution, she says. “People's eating behaviors have compensatory mechanisms where they may eat more of something else to compensate for the fewer calories taken in by a first food item. Why this is so is not well understood. However, if used the right way (one serving after a workout) or as a one serving treat, then that would be a good application from a weight management perspective.”

he cost of building a cold store is about 3 times that of an ambient store which depends upon the degrees of temperature required for the storage of particular types of products. Mr. Suunil Dabral Country Head. SSI Schaefer India. The second considerable cost is the cost of running the store (the colder it needs to be, the more costly). In order to optimize the operation costs, the Volume V/S Space equation needs to be balanced in a scientific manner. This balanced can be achieved to its best with the help of an ideal storage solution specially designed by SSI Schaefer. The maximum space utilisation for optimum cold store performance becomes one of the major objectives of all the cold stores. Mobile Racking System from SSI Schaefer is an ideal storage solution for more space on less surface
area. With the installation of Mobile Racking, 80% of the warehouse floor space is utilized, having maximum 2 aisles: Picking Aisle and Cross Aisle. SSI Schaefer mobile racking system can be controlled with the Remote Control. By pressing a button on the remote control unit, any aisle can be opened by choosing the corresponding radio frequency. At the same time, the travel paths of the mobile racks and the forklifts are coordinated without any delay.
Whole rows of rack are moved forward together, eliminating aisles. Special features integrated into this system include the picking function, allowing the customer to concurrently open 2 or more aisles and enable picking for orders, as well as automatic lighting via the system's control panel which switches the roof lights on for the active aisle only, while all other lights are kept off. This undoubtedly serves in considerable cost savings on what is today arguably the most expensive running cost in this country, electricity.

ne of the things we know (or suspect) from circumstantial evidence is that protein is more satisfying. It may be that someone eats their ice cream, gets their sweet fix, have their protein and feels satisfied longer….,” comments Dr. Thomas. “There is probably nothing wrong with having ice cream that does have added nutritional value versus ice cream that
doesn't have the added nutrition.” Dylan Bailey, a research associate at the Montclair State University Center for Quantitative Obesity Research and a student in the school's Health and Nutrition Sciences Department, thinks Flexfrost would work well for people who need more protein, like athletes and strength trainers who are interested in gaining lean muscle mass. He also sees this type of ice cream for elderly people and for individuals who have difficulty swallowing.

he world's biggest maker of ice cream, acquired Talenti Gelato & Sorbetto to expand its frozen offerings and counter sluggish growth among its mainstream food brands. Talenti, founded in 2003 and based in Minneapolis, will
generate more than $120 million in sales this year from flavors like Blood Orange and Caramel Cookie Crunch, Unilever said in a statement. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Since taking the helm in 2009, Unilever Chief Executive Officer Paul Polman has sought to expand the company's $11.7 billion refreshment business, which includes icecream brands such as Breyers, Ben & Jerry's and Klondike. In 2011, the company took its Magnum brand from Europe to the U.S., hitting $100 million in sales in the first year. Its last ice-cream deal was the 2011 purchase of Ingman Ice Cream Oy AB. Unilever currently sells gelato, which is the Italian word for ice cream, under the Breyers brand. “The acquisition widens Unilever's position in the fastgrowing gelato market with its artisanal offerings and its clear, distinct and recyclable packaging,” Kees Kruythoff, president of Unilever North America, said in the statement. The growth in ice cream -- Unilever's single-biggest category, according to data tracker Euromonitor -contrasts with the company's failure to turn around its food business.

y intelligent humans just invented wineinfused icecream so now we never have to get drunk on an empty stomach again. Hurrah! Mercer's wineinfused ice cream contains a whole 5 per cent alcohol, setting it apart from the deceitful wine-flavoured ice cream already on the market. The game-changing invention comes in seven different flavours — Cherry Merlot, Chocolate Cabernet, Peach White Zinfandel, Port, Red Raspberry Chardonnay, Spiced, Riesling and Strawberry Sparkling — and brings a whole new meaning to the words "dessert wine". The bad news is that the ice-cream is currently only available in upstate New York. International vendors are in the works, however, and it surely will not be long before Kiwi shoppers are ditching wine and cheese for a different dairy product. Although you need proof of age to buy the products, Mercer's maintain that you can't actually get drunk on the stuff. We think they underestimate just how much we love ice-cream.

These local manufacturers produce good quality of ice cream. This definitely affects the higher and urban manufacturers and definitely creates a lot of competition in the market and high voltage challenge.
ahead in terms of their familiarity and affinity with ice creams. Also amongst the Top 3 ice cream manufacturers in India the two of them namely Vadilal and Amul have their roots in Gujarat. This definitely is a strong reason for Gujarat being the number one in Ice cream manufacturing and consumption. The main ingredient of ice cream – milk is easily available in Gujarat, thanks to white revolution along with industry friendly infrastructure like consistent power availability to better road connectivity till last mile. Hence it is conducive to manufacturing of ice cream. As we all know people here are fond of food and have better spending power.

he size of ice cream industry, estimated at Rs.4500 crore is likely to jump at about Rs.7000 crore by 2018 with its growing institutional sales coupled with youngsters spending habits on it as well as increasing disposable income of middle and lower middle class Indians in the recent times, which has developed its penchant for the frozen product.
GUJARAT THE PIONEER STATE OF ICE CREAM MARKET Ice Cream Business in Gujarat is highly potential as Gujarat is an advance state for Ice Cream makers and lovers. It has wide scope, as Ice cream
One of the major challenges faced by this industry is the constant increase in the price of the raw materials, said Ibrahim Hamidani, MD, Dilabahar Ice cream, Bhavnagar, Gujarat. The ice cream industry levied with an interest of 15 percent whiles the consumer demand for low priced ice cream. The biggest dispute is that ice cream, he added, has been categorized as a luxury Mr. Ibrahim Hamidani
But according to Pradeep Chona, MD, Havmor Ice Cream, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, though the Ice cream business in Gujarat is really good as it has the highest per capita consumption, but it is a price sensitive market and there is lot of expectations from customer for innovative and quality products. That makes it highly competitive and cut throat market too.
The domestic ice cream industry would grow at the compounded growth rate (CAGR) of about 25 per cent in future with high profit margins ranging between 15 to 20 per cent to reach the projected level since its per capita consumption has gone up at 300 ml against world average of 2.3 liter Of the ice cream consumption in India, nearly 60 per cent is accounted to by three flavours of
Gujarat is the home to the pioneers of the ice cream industry of India – like Amul and Vadilal elucidated, Harish Aswana, Director, Shri Janta Ice cream Pvt Ltd., who rule this industry and these companies actually gave the Indian to indulge into premium ice cream in an economical way. So you see these big manufactures come from Gujarat and hence they given the gujuratis the taste of ice cream, making Gujarat the top manufacturer and consumer of ice cream. Rajesh B Verma of Vimal Ice Cream Gujarat believes that Gujarat is Milk hub of India and this Mr. Shabbir Patel

vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. And to be on the safer side, major players tend play around these flavours only. For big players, regional competition from smaller players is another major issue. The ice cream prices in India are reported to be three times higher than the prices prevailing in America. One reason is the legal requirement in India stipulating at least 10 per cent milk fat in ice cream. Another inflationary factor is the high cost of transportation, particularly the refrigerated type. Taxes also contribute to high prices of ice cream. Absence of a nationwide efficient and reliable cold chain distribution restricts the ice cream sales to the bigger cities, Still with all the pros and cons almost 35 per cent of the ice creams sold in the country are consumed in the western region with Gujarat being the main market, followed by 30 per cent in the north, 20 per cent in the south and 15 per cent in the eastern and central India. Gujarat has been the hub for ice creams in India. The ease of availability of fresh milk and other raw material facilitates the Ice cream manufacturing in this state and the sweet toothed Gujuratis have a sweet spot for ice cream making it the top consumer of this dessert. Apart from the taste preference, the hot and dry weather here also favours the consumption. Consequently the consumers in Gujarat have been

Mr. Mufaddal Hajoori
Mukesh Kothari, Manmohak Ice Cream, Surat, Gujarat supplemented that the ice cream industries face a lot of problem, like being a luxury product, tax, electricity cost and raw material cost are very high in Gujarat.

is one reason why ice cream manufacture is easy in Gujarat. Also the logistics are very much better in this state along with easy availability of Labour and transportation. These factors make Gujarat the top state for ice cream manufacture and supply. He also added that fast urbanization, Purchasing power, climate and habits of having deserts after food or in festival increases the market.

Refrigeration and air conditioning technologies are key elements the BITZERworld. The BITZER Group has been making a contribution with innovative products and services for 80 years. Their products maintain the optimum temperatures on buses, trains and in buildings and ensure food stays fresh at all times on its way to you. Perfection and precision shape theiroperations – and efficiency and sustainability is their way of thinking. With specialist skills and lots of passion, BITZER promote development in compressor technology and, in this way, fulfilltheir responsibility as a market leader.In a candid conversation with Mr. Rob de Bruyn, Managing Director, BITZER Refrigeration Asia Pte Limited, Ice Cream Times editor, Firoz H Naqvi came to know the plans and perspective of BITZER and its affair with Indian market. Excerpts from the interview: How can you describe BITZER's tenure inIndian Cold chain market? BITZER came to India in 2007 and since that time we had very good growth over the years. BITZER being a German company received a very perceptive and generous response from the Indian Market. Cold chain has been the active part of BITZER's business; BITZER enjoys a very high brand recall with the customers. The BITZER products are known for their very high reliability which is very important for end users and offer the highest efficiency in their class. In the past few years, BITZER India has rapidly expanded its Green Point Service Network with service centres at Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore & Kolkata making us the only compressor manufacturer with pan India service support capabilities. The service centres have also been extensively used for imparting technical training to both our partners & end users This step has been very important to us to propel our new products out in India and it gives the customers the confidence to go and b u y o u r n e w products.For example, in case of ice cream if the refrigeration fails we need to take a very quick action as it can cause an adverse effect to the vendor and the entrepreneur so our service centre is an answer to such troubles. We see great growth in India and I can see that the east coast seems to be moving very well for us. We started the green point there in May this year and already we are getting very fruitful result. What special strategy have you taken on to meet the Indian demand? It is very important for any multinational to adapt to any market; we try to maintain a relatively consistent pricing policy around the world. India
is definitely a price conscious country but stillone of the key issues for BITZER is that the customer base in India understands what quality is and is prepared to pay a small premium for a good quality product. BITZER is well known to be a premium product and market proves that there is a viable and vibrant market for high quality products. Also the type of business we are dealing with requires best quality assurance, e.g. the ice cream market or the cold chain market, the cost of the goods inside the cold space is many times more costly than the equipment itself and on this basis the cost of investment is really heavily scrutinized for the long serviceability and life time cost highly. These two factors are very influential to the Indian entrepreneurs nowadays and they look for quality rather than the cost. How much is the Modi's “Make in India” campaign influencing BITZER? BITZER is a major global compressor manufacturer. But if we talk exclusive manufacture of compressors in India, it is not so likely in the near future. You see to become a manufacturer here we need a high numbers
demand and skill, which we are still working on at the moment.But what we are concentrating is on the localization of our symbol products like – Rack Systems, condensing unit, ice cream machines. Localization is an important part of our business and our plan is to support the local companies to integrate our products into their manufacturing goods. What product line does BITZER have for the food industry? Our product base is very broad and we can fulfill any number of applications in India and around the world. In India the very crucial factor is the energy efficiency; the energy cost is very high here so for this we have products like the varispeed which is a compressor with an inverter, with this we can vary the speed of the compressor depending on the load and these types of technologies show excellent energy efficiency. BITZER has introduced compressors with integrated inverters that offer maximum power saving to customers. The inverters are offered both with bare compressors and in Air Cooled Condensing Unit configurations. The inverters modulate the speed of the compressors to precisely match the load requirement and offer highest levels of energy savings possible. Since the inverters are suction gas cooled, there is no derating in the performance on account of high ambient temperatures prevailing in many parts of the country. For ice cream industry we have Ecoline Varispeed range of semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors with integrated frequency inverter optimized for refrigeration applications. This can also be used in air conditioning. Then there is CSVH range of C o m p a c t S c r e w Compressors with integrated frequency i n v e r t e r optimized for liquid chiller and heat pump applications. This is used in the cold storage systems. We also have Ecostar range of Air Cooled Condensing Units with inverter integrated on the compressor.
the customers business develops and grows. There has to energy saving too but more important with the changes in global refrigeration, this is playing a lot of pressure on the market. Like in Europe for example there is new gase regulations which have very high demands on the types of gases or chemical that can be used. From BITZER's perspectives the speed to bring the new products to markets is important but we should be very stable and we should not rush any product into the market. We should be steady and do long term planning for the upgradation of components and equipments. The ability to provide after services and spare parts support is also important and if an equipment fails for a reason it needs to be rectified very quickly and that's where our Green point service centre come into. Do you think Indian cold chain can be compared with its international counterpart? The Cold Chain infrastructure in India is being rapidly upgraded with the assistance of very generous grants from the Government of India through its carious arms like National Horticulture Board etc. The entrepreneurs who are investing in the cold chains are opting for e n e rg y e ffi c i e n t c o m p r e s s o r s t h a t u s e environmentally friendly refrigerants and are no longer being driven only by the initial cost of the project. The very high success rate enjoyed by BITZER with its Added Value Products Like Screw Compressor Racks, Screw Condensing Units & Reciprocating Compressor Racks to name a few are testimony to this fact. In this sense Indian cold chains are at par with international counterparts. The next step in the evolution process would be adaptation of natural refrigerants like CO2 that offer much higher efficiency than the existing systems but this is some time away from Indian perspective. In Europe, USA, Australia etc CO2 based refrigeration systems have been deployed extensively. As a cold chain expert what eminent advice would you impart to the sea food and ice cream sector? I believe very strongly that India in the next couple of years will do more export wise business and cold chain in India has very high potential for export. On that basis we need to seek and be assured of HACCP conditions of any export related activity. We need to insure that the type of equipment is at the best possible level that it can be. We need to very well understand what the system loadings. Also quality of the refrigeration and enterprise is very important. Many people are getting interested in Indian export business and thus the whole system needs to at the highest quality using
So BITZER has the unique positioning for an eight year company to have the full variety of technologies available for any application that would be required in India. One of the things that we also produce in our factory is in Indonesia is the LH series condensing units – this is a design for high ambient condition which is of course very necessary for India, particularly in the northern states. We are getting a very good support with our Air cooled condensing units which are proving to be very popular. Upgradation of technologies is continuous, how does BITZER gratify the food industry with this continuous cycle of upgradation? BITZER has this view that there is a need to product that will take us for five year at least in terms of technology and our equipment is expected to last for many years after that. But if we take a five year block position, then of course we are dedicated to upgrade our equipments, as
genuine and uncompromising components……in this relation, German quality and experience can participate in the Indian nations Cold Chain infrastructure development.

Mixtures A generic term “eutectics” are also used for referring any mixture of chemical compounds or elements that have a single chemical composi on that solidifies at a lower temperature than any other composition made up of the same ingredients. This composition is known as the eutectic composition and the temperature at which it solidifies is known as the eutectic temperature. Whether it is salt water solution, glycol solution or PCMs all are referred to as eutectics; hence there is a need to understand the difference. A eutectic solution to be qualified as a phase change material for the purpose of storage of thermal energy there are some important f a c t o r s t o b e c o n s i d e r e d . Wi t h o u t t h e consideration of these factors a eutectic solution would find its application as an anti-freeze solution or simply as a sensible heat storage medium at various temperatures.
impossible to regain the taste, texture and quality. Hence, it makes a lot of difference in the way in which ice-creams are produced, shipped and stored. Out of the estimated 4000 Crore ice-cream market, the majority of the sale comes from tier 1 cities as companies find it difficult to reach the rural areas due to lack of infrastructure and unavailability of power. This article introduces phase change materials, an innovative technology which addresses this challenge thereby increasing the opportunity to make ice-creams accessible at the best quality to the rural segment.
PCMs are engineered to change their phase (solid to liquid or vice versa) at a specific temperature and one should look at the following three factors to qualify a PCM; 1) High thermal storage capacity in the form of latent heat (200KJ/Kg or above) 2) Constant temperature maintenance during the release of stored energy.
Mr. Vishnu Sasidharan Manager-Business Development
Phase Change Materials (PCM) Phase Change Materials (PCM) fall under the sub category of energy exchanging smart materials. Energy exchanging smart materials is defined as those materials that are able to store latent and sensible energy in the form of light, heat, electricity or hydrogen and exhibit reversibility. A PCM has the ability to store and release large amounts of heat/energy while maintaining a constant temperature unlike conventional solutions as shown in the figure 1 below. PCM's have tremendous potential to fulfill the growing need of energy for cooling and heating applications across various industries. It finds its application globally in diverse sectors like cold chain, HVAC, refrigeration, automobile airconditioning, apparels, waste heat recovery, consumer goods and more; wherever there is a need for thermal energy storage. Difference between conventional Eutectic

Reduction in the overall weight of the freezer due to high energy storage to weight ratio of the PCMs. Performance of PCM in commercial freezers or coolers Freezers for ice-creams are designed to maintain a temperature between – 18°C to -23°C while beverages are maintained between 2°C to 8°C in a cooler. The PCM chosen for both of these applications are different due to the different temperature requirements. Shown below in figure 2 is an illustration of PCM integration within the walls of the ice-cream freezer. The selected PCM gets charged passively when the power is available within 9 -10 hours.

The selection of the PCM is important as one of the critical factor is the minimum temperature that the
refrigeration unit can offer to ensure charging is completely done. Once fully charged the PCM is in ready state to release back the energy when there is a p o w e r o r equipment failure. The figure 3 shows the graph of the temperature inside an empty f r e e z e r compartment monitored sensors at various different locations. This freezer is designed to maintain a temperature of -18°C to -19°C for a minimum of 16 hours subjected to an ambient of 40°C and several opening and closing of the lid. About Pluss Polymers Pvt.
