The role of ice-cream and related iced products in our diet

Sladoled je smrznuta smjesa mlijeka, mliječnih proizvoda, dodataka za zaslađivanje, stabilizatora, emulgatora, te aroma u koju je inkorporiran zrak. Postoji malo namirnica koje u tako koncentriranom obliku sadrže toliko vrijednih tvari potrebnih za izgradnju i razvoj ljudskog organizma, kao što je to sladoled.The ice-cream made by means of modern technology represents for all categories of our population (as well as for some types of patients) an excellent food stuff. The consumption of ice-cream is daily increasing, but it is still lower than in most European countries. The author is considering the ways of increasing the consumption in the country, giving his personal experiences and data on the production and consumption of the ice-cream made by the Ice-cream Factory "Ledo". Efforts are made with a view of expanding the choice, bettering the organization of sale and sale points, as well as trought propagation, to ensure a more even sale the year over. The introduction of other related frozen products would make it possible to provide a more varied food scheme, as well as a more economical production. The paper is presenting tabulated data on the production and consumption of ice-cream per capita in Europe and Yugoslavia, as well as data on the production and sale of ice-cream, development of sale points, chemical composition of the ice-cream made by the "Ledo" Ice-cream Factory, etc
