    James Carper
    January 15, 2013

    A look inside HP Hood's Sacramento plant

    January 18, 2013

    Mike Hardy is showing me an aseptic filler. “There are only two speeds to this — 0 and 600 bottles a minute,” he says. I watch a blur of bottles enter one end of the machine from an overhead conveyor, whirl from carousel to carousel and exit the other end. In a matter of seconds, the bottles have been sterilized, filled and capped.

    Dollar sales of ice cream went up slightly but unit sales barely moved up. Unit sales of frozen novelties dropped.
    Sarah M. Kennedy
    January 17, 2013
    Perhaps the unprecedented warmer fall weather in much of the United States was to blame for the melting of unit sales for frozen novelties and ice cream. Whatever the cause, only a few ice cream brands saw increases at the end of 2012.

    In creating healthy foods, formulators often reduce fat and sugar, the very ingredients responsible for the attributes creamy, smooth and soft that consumers expect in dairy foods. What’s the solution? Texturants.
    Kimberly Decker
    January 20, 2013
    In September 2011, a study appeared in the journal Appetite reporting that texture, not flavor, best predicted the level of satiation that subjects expected from certain dairy products. In three separate experiments, the researchers wrote, product samples with the thicker texture — whether yogurt, custard or chocolate milk — rated higher for expected satiation than thinner ones.
