New Type of Dairy-Free Ice Cream Alternative on the Horizon
~ A team of German researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV has developed a new type of non-dairy ice cream that utilizes lupin proteins along with other plant-based ingredients. According to the report:“The blue sweet lupin is particularly rich in protein, and has a balanced flavour, which the researchers said is vital to the ice cream. They noted that the secret behind the flavour lies in the selection of the lupin variety, combined with a special production method.”
Some of you may be wondering, as I was, what is lupin? According to Wikipedia, the Lupinus is a member of the legume family, and its seeds are often referred to as lupin beans. The seeds or beans have the full range of essential amino acids, but unlike soy, they can be grown in more temperate to cool climates. Lupins are growing in popularity as a cash crop alternative to soy.
Though lupin beans aren’t something we see often, or at all, in the U.S., they have been enjoyed in Europe for centuries. Today, lupins are used for different foods from vegan sausages to lupin-tofu, sold in salty brine for snacking, made into high-protein flour, and widely cultivated for livestock and poultry feed.
The researchers found that the high protein content in lupin helped in making a creamy consistency for products like vegan ice cream. They are calling their new non-dairy frozen dessert ‘Lupinesse,’and have already had it accepted in some German supermarkets.
Lupinesse is dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan, making it suitable for those with a dairy protein allergy or lactose intolerance. Anyone with severe milk allergies concerns should contact the company to verify processes, since it is being produced by an ice cream manufacturer, Helados Alacant.
Lupinesse is available in four flavors: Vanilla-Cherry, Strawberry-Mousse, Walnut Dream, and Choco-Flakes. It’s currently only available in Germany, but if it proves successful, I’m sure we will see lupin-based ice cream make its way across the Atlantic.

It's not just ice cream, of course. A lot of products package less and charge more. And, because the products often don't look much different -- or proclaim "same product, new look" -- the decrease in product is easy to miss. Read the small print.
"Have our product tested once a month for bacterial levels." "Change all of our packaging and labels to meet state standards." "Purchase a pasteurizer, which from what the state tells me will be about $40000 or use a pre-made ice cream mix.

According to its label, a pint of Häagen-Dazs ice cream contains four servings. But when was the last time you measured out a fourth of a container of Cookies & Cream, then put the rest away for another day? For many people, the reality is that much of
This surpassed analysts' expectations of a 2.6pc rise, driven by strong emerging markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well as hot weather in Europe fuelling demand for ice cream and cold drinks. Performance was boosted by the production of a

When Anthem worked with Unilever on reinvigorating the packaging for Unilever's Good Humor ice cream treats, the design company looked at what it states is the "magic, fun and taste" that is central to the Good Humor brand.The confections known fondly by many Americans as Good Humor ice cream treats are actually part of a worldwide product line. In markets outside of the U.S., the confections are sold under the Heart brand.
Evidence of the worldwide product line can be found in Good Humor's previous logo, which comprises a double-heart shape with the Good Humor brand name set in capital letters. While incorporating the Heart icon in the Good Humor brandmark helped reinforce the identity of the worldwide Heart brand, it was preventing full capitalization of Good Humor's brand equity.
"Unilever realized that walking away from the heritage and the history of the Good Humor man, the truck, the bells, the blue coloration and so forth, was not doing much to increase sales, but, in fact, was potentially disengaging consumers because it didn't feel like their Good Humor," remarks Janice Jaworski, managing director at Anthem Worldwide - New York. "This iconic American ice cream brand was not doing justice to itself by being part of that [Heart branding] execution."
Anthem worked with the Unilever's Visual Branding team on an extensive identity exploratory. Some of the ideas that were bandied about included creating a hybrid branding element that would keep the Heart icon but replace the Good Humor font with lettering that would be more in keeping what was used on the Good Humor truck or the Copperplate styled fonts used for the in-home packaging. They also looked at branding that included a visual representation of a Good Humor truck, which many of the brand's adult consumers associate with happy childhood memories.
Remarking on her impressions when first viewing the ice cream truck-inspired branding, Jaworski says, "You could almost look at the logo and picture the truck coming down the road and all the kids running out with their change." After discussing how much freedom Anthem had in leaving the Heart branding aside, Unilever decided to move forward with the ice cream truck-inspired branding in blue versus Heart's trademark red.
Given the long history of the Good Humor brand, it's no surprise that a wide range of Good Humor confections are sold individually through outlets such as ice cream trucks and C-stores. Unfortunately, package design wasn't consistent throughout the extensive product line. For example, Good Humor's Strawberry Shortcake and Giant bars previously had very different looks.
The packaging for the Magnum ice cream bar is rude. It makes me blush. :-P
