FORMULATIONS
parlor with our Load'd portfolio, loaded up with delicious
mix-ins and swirls, " said Jamee Pearlstein, director of brand
marketing for Blue Bunny. " We are honored that Load'd
Sundaes is the singular frozen dessert offering to be recognized
amongst an exceptional array of CPG product innovations. "
This year, Blue Bunny expanded its Load'd Sundaes line
to include 16 total flavors with four new additions: Turtle
Cheesecake, French Silk Pie, Chocolate Caramel Pretzel and
S'more S'mores.
Without a doubt, ice cream formulators have some latitude
when it comes to adding goodies to their product as it is a
frozen, static system. But like any other frozen food, there is
the potential for freeze-thaw abuse, so inclusion quality and
safety must be ensured.
This is accomplished by using only ingredients that have
been properly heat treated, including all types of nuts. If fresh
fruits are used, they must be properly sanitized and handled.
With candies, baked pieces and other chunks of decadence,
it's important to make sure the product is properly handled
and stored to prevent any microbial contaminants in the
environment from settling and starting a family. And because
many inclusions are complex systems, often containing
known allergens, it is essential to segregate them to prevent
cross-contamination.
In addition to ensuring that moisture is managed once
product is frozen, other considerations include the potential
of ice crystal development and freezing point. Variegates must
remain pliable and fruit pieces soft.
Inclusions for refrigerated applications include all these
considerations and more. These fresh products are living
systems and product breakdown is inevitable.
The goal is to delay onset for as long as
possible. Dual compartment and dome
packages allow for more varied
inclusions, as this type of package
keeps incompatible ingredients
separate from each other.
Fabricated inclusions that are either
lipid- or carbohydrate-based can
be designed with specific moisture
contents and textures, as well with
layers of flavor in a single bit or piece.
OUTSIDE THE FREEZER
While ice cream manufacturers may
be the largest user of inclusions in the
dairy processing industry, these goodies
can be used in refrigerated products, too.
Inclusions assist dairy processors with
livening up their products. Simple lemon

Greek yogurt gets transformed into a decadent dessert when
glazed granola and meringue cubes become a topping. Even a
cream cheese bagel spread becomes a culinary adventure when
it's infused with maple syrup bits and bacon pieces.
Epicurean Butter, Federal Heights, Colo., has long
embraced the power of inclusions in butter. The company
offers culinary-inspired flavors such as roasted garlic and
herb, honey pecan and porcini sage. Posh Cow Dairy Ltd.,
London, is growing its flavored Posh Cow Butter line in the
United Kingdom with earl grey apricot jam and superfood
seaweed. Land O' Lakes Inc., Arden Hills, Minn., gave its
butter spread a plant-based twist this past year through the
addition of flax, chia and hemp seeds.
" We're continuously innovating
and looking for new flavors to
meet the evolving needs
and taste preferences of
cheese-lovers everywhere. "
Jamee Pearlstein, brand director, Boursin
Butter is mostly a forgiving base for inclusions, too. With
no less than 80% fat, per the standard of identity, butter is
an emulsion with its water content bound. This means that
there's very little free water to migrate into inclusions. As a
result, herbs, diced vegetables and seeds will not hydrate.
Pasteurized process cheese spreads as well as cream
cheese are also stabilized emulsions.
Moisture content of these products,
however, can run much higher than
butter, and therefore inclusions
must be carefully selected.
Savencia Cheese USA, New
Holland, Pa., the manufacturer
of the Alouette brand of soft,
spreadable cheeses, recently
introduced Alouette Gourmet Bites.
The offerings are small balls of
Alouette's signature creamy cheese
filled with flavor-packed centers. The
cheese balls come in two flavors:
garlic and herb, which is based on
Alouette's best-selling spreadable
cheese, and caramelized onion.
One of Alouette's newest spreadable
cheese flavors is garden vegetable. It
includes diced carrots, bell peppers and
