ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .14-April 2024 Frozen Dessert Introduction Walking past a dessert shop and pulling down parents for getting an ice cream, kulfi or a sherbet would have been one of the most blissful childhood memories for most of us. But when it comes to business it is an issue of huge lawsuits and technical issues happening in the backdrop while you are buying an ice cream or a frozen dessert. An issue began in India the early 2010s between two dairy and food giants of the nation, due to a disparity claimed by the latter in Bombay High Court. Later Labelling was made essential by the food regulatory authority to mention the product is an Ice cream or a Frozen dessert. FSSAI (Food Safety And Standards Authority of India) defines frozen dessert as a product obtained by freezing a pasteurized mix prepared with edible vegetable oils or fats, having a melting point of not more than 370C or vegetable protein products, or both. It may also contain milk fat and other milk solids with the addition of nutritive sweeteners and other permitted non-dairy ingredients. The said product may contain incorporated air and maybe frozen hard or frozen to a soft consistency. Components Frozen dessert/ Ice Cream is a colloidal emulsion made with water, ice, milk fat, milk protein, sugar, and air. Water and fat have the highest proportions by weight creating an emulsion that has dispersed phase as fat globules. The emulsion is turned into foam by incorporating air cells which are frozen to form dispersed ice cells. to The triacylglycerols in fat are non-polar and will themselves by Van der Waals adhere interactions. Water is polar; thus, emulsifiers are needed for dispersion of fat. Also, ice cream has a colloidal phase of foam which helps in its light texture. Milk proteins such as casein and whey protein present in ice cream are amphiphilic, can adsorb water and form micelles which will contribute to its consistency. to and Sucrose which The proteins contribute the emulsification, is texture. aeration, disaccharide is usually used as a sweetening agent. Lactose which is sugar present in milk will cause freezing point depression. Thus, on freezing some water will remain unfrozen and will not give a hard texture. Too much lactose will result in a non-ideal texture because of either excessive freezing point depression or lactose crystallization. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

Vegetable oils or fats. Vegetable protein products. 2. Permitted ingredients Sugar and other nutritive sweeteners (e.g. jaggery, dextrose, fructose, liquid glucose, dried liquid glucose, high maltose corn syrup, honey, etc.) Potable water Starch provided it is added only in amounts functionally necessary as governed by Good Manufacturing Practice, taking into account any use of the permitted stabilizers or thickeners. Other non-dairy ingredients - fruit and fruit products, eggs and egg products, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, confectionery, condiments, spices, ginger, and nuts; bakery products such as cake or cookies. The simplest way to explain the difference between ice cream and a frozen dessert is that ice cream is made from milk/cream (dairy) and frozen desserts are made with vegetable oils. Considering the fact in detail, a frozen dessert contains vegetable oil and may or may not contain milk fat. On the other hand, an Ice cream contains only milk fat and no vegetable oil as the fat portion. An important issue with vegetable oil if they are hydrogenated is that they are rich in trans-fat, which is considered unhealthy, and inferior compared to milk fat. Ice cream and frozen desserts have come a long way since the first snow cone was made. Innovations in a variety of areas over the past century have led to the development of highly sophisticated, automated manufacturing plants that churn out pint after pint of ice cream. Significant advances in fields such as mechanical refrigeration, chilling and freezing technologies, cleaning and sanitation, packaging, and ingredient functionality have shaped the industry.

The FSSAI starts a food safety awareness campaign at Delhi's well-known markets. The worldwide food sector is expected to invest heavily in temperature and humidity monitoring systems due to growing requirements for traceability reporting. This trend is further exacerbated by the US Food Safety Modernization Act requires stricter reporting requirements for various food products and affects all US food supply chains, including exports. The global technology intelligence firm ABI Research predicts that by 2032, hardware sales and recurring SaaS subscriptions will account for more than $7 billion in income from food cold chain track and trace operations worldwide. (FSMA), which According to Adhish Luitel, senior analyst for supply chain management and logistics at ABI Research, "Technological solutions are essential for ensuring the quality and safety of food products, and they must be enabled for cold chain management to be effective." In partnership with the Food Safety Department, Delhi, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has initiated a comprehensive awareness and sensitization campaign aimed at major marketplaces in the nation's capital. The awareness campaign, which will begin on April 8, 2024, in Delhi's well-known Khan Market and INA Market, will concentrate primarily on removing pesticide residue and other contaminants from food items. identifying and Market groups and vendors were actively involved in spreading impacts of pesticide residue, awareness about the negative particularly in fruits and vegetables, and the significance of testing for it. In addition, attendees learned about the innovative "Food Safety on Wheel" mobile lab project by FSSAI. This lab is outfitted with multiple quick testing kits to identify up to 50 pesticide residues in various food matrices, including cereals, fruits, and vegetables. These tests yield results in a matter of hours, allowing for prompt action to guarantee food safety. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION A potent ally in the fight against climate change and for food security is millets. To advance, the Indian food processing industry must prioritize research and development. Today, the terrifying statement made by Professor Wally Broecker, "Climate is an ill-tempered beast, and we are poking it with sticks," is more relevant than ever. With rising temperatures, unpredictable weather patterns, and food shortages, climate change threatens our survival. These problems aren't hypothetical; they're happening right before us as extreme weather events like droughts and floods become more frequent. We must make a dramatic shift to resilience-based agriculture to combat these threats. This means using agroecological practices to work with nature, not against it. This critical requirement is emphasized in the 2022 IPCC report, adopted by 195 nations and focused on regionally appropriate crops and sustainable methods. The Indian agriculture industry is experiencing strong growth with record production levels, according to Anita Praveen, secretary of the Ministry of Food Processing, Government of India. The food processing sector has emerged as one of the priority sectors for growth. "With the resources we have, we have already reached high levels of growth," she stated. Research and development (R&D) is needed to advance the food processing industry. The secretary, speaking at the FICCI Scientific Symposium on food "Processed Foods processing the major sources of investment, especially for micro and small businesses, and that it can attract more private capital. for Purpose," stated is one of industry that the India's Codex expertise is to be strengthened through the FSSAI workshop. The Codex Contact Point at FSSAI headquarters arranged a three-day training at FSSAI headquarters to enhance India's Codex proficiency. The program, as per FSSAI, not only enlightened the officers about the Codex Alimentarius Commission its purpose but also significantly amplified India's influence on global food standards. (CAC) and A top FSSAI official claims that this kind of workshop aids in the ongoing improvement of knowledge and the scaling up of research to establish policies in India based on international best practices.
