| | Food Product Design: Ice Cream: Combination Chemistry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | Simply stated, ice cream design's overall goal is: incorporating several different insolubles (air bubbles, ice crystals and fat globules) into an aqueous phase at the smallest sizes, and in the greatest numbers, possible. |
 | | A survey of 69 vanilla ice creams and frozen yogurts available in California, conducted by Christine Bruhn, Ph.D., and John Bruhn, Ph.D., of the University of California, indicates that, per serving, fat content ranges from 0 to 18 g; protein content ranges from 1 to 11 g; and sugar varies from 3 to 24 g. |
 | | The ice cream varieties that have replaced the now-defunct "ice milks" of yesteryear are subject to a new taxonomy of fat offerings per serving: low fat (3g or less); light (one-third less than standard); reduced fat (25% less than standard); and nonfat (0.5g or less). |
