The basic method of determining the thermal conductivity is to place a sample of known dimensions in a temperature gradient and measure the rate of the resulting heat flow through it. Suitable apparatus consists of a disc of ice cream sandwiched between two plates made from a material of known thermal conductivity and placed in an insulated cylinder. One plate is heated and the other cooled to produce the temperature gradient, which is measured with thermocouples embedded in the plates and sample. 

At Kraft Foods, we have had occasion to use this rapid sandwich technique on unembedded cream cheese, viscous dressing and ice cream mix, looking for xanthan or guar/LBG. We have also probed sections of embedded materials for xanthan. In other words, the rapid and embedded techniques are fully complementary. 

Let vanilla or coffee ice cream sit out a little to soften. Use a small scooper or a tablespoon to scoop ice cream onto one cookie, top with the other cookie, and squish the cookies together a bit to help the ice cream fill any empty spots. Place the sandwiches in the freezer to harden. 

The modern food supply chain uses many forms of thermoformed articles meat trays, microwave and deep freeze containers, ice cream and margarine tubs, delicatessen tubs, snack tubs, bakery and patisserie packaging, sandwich packs and vending drink cups are just a few of the food related applications. Other non-food applications include manufacturing collation trays, blister packaging and point of sale display trays. 

I put this into practice when my children were little. I was trying to establish a heart-healthy lifestyle to protect them from heart disease later in life. That meant limiting the cake, cookies, ice cream, pizza, and so forth. So when they were invited to birthday parties or elsewhere, about twenty minutes before we were to leave the house I d ask whether they were hungry. Of course, little kids are always hungry So I d give them a healthy snack of some sliced fruit, a small sandwich, a cup of soup, or something like that. When they got to the party, they weren t ravenous and therefore ate a lot less of the fatty foods than they would have otherwise. 

Sandwiches consist of one or more flavours of ice cream between two biscuits or wafers, which may have been covered in chocolate (Figure 5.4a). Biscuits are made by mixing flour, sugar and fat, shaping and then baking. The sandwich can be assembled layer by layer, i.e. the first biscuit or wafer is covered with ice cream, which in turn is covered with a second biscuit or wafer. Alternatively, the ice cream can be extruded between two biscuits. The product is then hardened, dipped in chocolate or couverture if required, and packaged. 

Nuts and seed offer the widest choice of oils where the physical condition of the oil is important. Nut oils vary from very solid coconut and palm oils to very liquid canola, safflower and sunflower oils. Thus confectioners, bakers, salters, ice-cream makers and snack food manufacturers have a choice of nut oils to fulfill their needs. A single manufacturer of cookies, wafers, tea cakes, sandwich fillings, fruit cakes, layer cakes and pancake mixes has a choice of oils that meet the particular needs. Nuts and oily seed having the highest oil content are least stable. Schley cultivar of pecans, with 68% oil, is less stable than cultivars containing less oil. The iodine value, which measures the degree of unsaturation of the oil is used commercially as a means of predicting shelf-life. The ratio of oleic to linoleic acids is also a measure of oil stability. 

Bakery products—Bakery items which employ color additives include dough products, cookies, sandwich fillings, icings, coatings, and ice cream cones. 

LLDPE is now being considered for applications such as reusable containers, e.g. once an ice-cream container is emptied it becomes a quality sandwich box. The reason for such use is it s wide ranging properties and ability to be cleansed in dishwashers...
