DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wk3qq9/tharp_and_young_on) has announced the addition of the "Tharp & Young on Ice Cream: An Encyclopedic Guide to Ice Cream Science and Technology" book to their offering.
This volume is at once an all-inclusive guide to the meaning of hundreds of technical terms and ideas needed for ice cream manufacturing, as well as a practical introduction to the ingredients, freezing methods, flavoring, and packaging of ice cream, sherbet, sorbet, gelato, frozen yogurts, novelties and many other kinds of frozen desserts. In dozens of longer entries and short essays, as well as with original quantitative tables and graphs, the authors explain the chemistry and controllable variables of all phases of ice cream production, e.g., dairy and non-dairy ingredients, crystallization, overrun, equipment, coloring, test and tasting protocols and much more. With its helpful system of cross-referencing, the book offers essential details on what must be done to create high-quality, successful products - with pointers on how to avoid dozens of specific defects that can occur during manufacturing, such as icy texture and sandiness. The authors also offer original information for extending product lines and creating new, e.g., health-oriented and hybrid products.
Besides providing a definitive introduction to the applied science of frozen desserts, the book explains key management concepts from cost-reduction strategies to yield improvement, marketing, and regulatory compliance in formulation and labeling.
Summary:
- A comprehensive practical reference to ice cream and other dairy and non-dairy desserts
- Covers every stage from mix ingredients to processing, packaging, marketing, regulations and more
- Provides calculations, formulas, troubleshooting tips, freezing data points and costs
- Essential techniques for quality control and ideas for new products and market opportunities
Readership:
Who will benefit from owning this volume: engineers, product developers, plant managers, marketing specialists and quality control specialists in the ice cream, frozen dessert, dairy food products and ingredients (e.g., emulsifier) industries, as well as in dip shops and equipment and service suppliers to the ice cream industry.
From the Foreword:
"The Guide is a source of not only technical explanations but also offers ideas for new products and processes supported by insightful tables and illustrations and essays on selected hot topics. Drs. Tharp and Young have a unique way of bridging the gaps and connecting the dots among science, technology and commercial reality. As I had expected, this Guide is comprehensive in its coverage, and key terms are fully discussed to clarify complex technical ideas and their applications. It is an essential reference for personnel in the ice cream industry. There is no other book of this kind in the current marketplace."

About the Authors
Author
Bruce Tharp and Steve Young both operate businesses devoted to providing technical know-how to the ice cream and dairy food industries throughout the world. For the past two decades they have collaborated in offering an international technical short course on ice cream. Selected data and troubleshooting pointers presented in the Encyclopedic Guide were developed from responses to thousands of queries from course attendees, as well as from the hands-on experience of the authors, who have been active in ice cream production since childhood.
