General
- Ice creams of
many varieties, flavors and and in different forms (cones, cups, slices,
bulk, packing, candies, etc) are served round the year and demand is going
up year after year. Possibly the most popular mode of serving is in cones as
it is neat & clean, easy to store and there is no disposal need. With
continuous increase in sale of ice-creams, demand for cones is increasing.
It is a mass consumption item.
Manufacturing
- Automatic ice-cream cone makers are available. Initially corn and wheat
flour is mixed with water and required quantity of colours and flavors are
added. Then this dough is fed to the cone making machine. The machine makes
cones as per the mould they are baked-in and ready cones come out of it.50
or 100 cones are packed in polythene bags.
- Ice-cream cones are prepared from wheat & corn flour and they are eaten
along with the ice-cream. Pre-determined quantity of ice-cream is
automatically filled in each cone. Cones are not only convenient but there
is no residual waste as well. They are of different colours and flavors.
This is a very common product and can be produced all over the country.
Nearness to urban market should be the main guiding factor. This note
considers a suitable location in Maharashtra.
Varieties
-
Most ice cream is purchased by the consumer on basis of
flavor and ingredients. There are several different flavors of ice cream
manufactured. Vanilla accounts
for over half of the ice cream consumed. This is
partly because it is used in so many products, like milkshakes, sundaes,
banana splits, in addition to being consumed with pies, desserts, etc. It is
the ice cream manufacturers responsibility to prepare an excellent mix, but
often they put the responsibility of the flavors and ingredients on the
supplier.
Technology
-
Soft ice cream is a congealed dairy product produced by
freezing a heat treated mixture of milk, cream, milk solids, sugars,
stabilizers, emulsifiers and flavorings. In the past the microbiological
quality of soft ice-cream has been less than satisfactory, however,
microbiological quality should have improved considerably since the advent
of self-pasteurizing machines and due to increased awareness of the
importance of good food handling and hygiene practices.
Market
-
In south Wales in particular there is a tradition of ice
cream making. There is a good niche market for real dairy ice-cream,
exploiting demands for premium quality, attractive product range (flavors,
ingredients) and purchase options (domestic freezer, specialty deserts,
soft serve).
