Significant advances in fields such as mechanical refrigeration, chilling and freezing technologies, cleaning and sanitation, packaging, and ingredient functionality have shaped the industry. Many of the advances in the ice cream industry have been driven by technological inventions. Earlier, milk, cream, and sugar were the fundamental ingredients of refrigerated dairy desserts in its most rudimentary form. Flavored, frozen, and whipped into a popular dessert, there was little need to improve this successful formulation. However, as market pressures and economic opportunities arose, dairy desserts needed to change in many ways, including exhibiting stability over long-term frozen storage and responding to a more diverse population interested in issues such as changes in nutrient content. The presence of lactose in ice creams has been the source of various research activities. In general, the level of lactose in ice cream can be quite high, nearing 8%, resulting in concerns for those who experience lactose malabsorption issues. The high lactose content is, in part, a function of the U.S. standards of identity requiring that milk be fortified with milk fat and milk SNF above what is natively found in milk and the availability of lactose-rich ingredients designed to serve that purpose. These high lactose levels play a significant role in the overall freezing point depression of the serum phase of ice cream and contribute to a small degree to the overall sweetness of the refrigerated dairy dessert.

Lactose-free desserts are known to have low nutritional and sensory quality. Lactose intolerance is a pathophysiological situation that occurs owing to the insufficiency of the “lactase” enzyme present in the jejunum. Ingestion of lactose-containing products leads to alteration in intestinal digestion and colonic fermentation, leading to diarrhea and other clinical discomforts. Some lactose-free products made from the lactose hydrolyzed milk or the alternate milk sources possessing low nutritional and sensory quality are available in the market. These alternatives are high-priced comparative to the foods containing lactose. So, there is a strong urge to develop lactose-free products that are nutritionally adequate, economical and well accepted by the consumers with main focus on special considerations viz., finding an alternate non-lactose source, ensuring sensory and nutritional attributes, compliance with the concerned regulatory guidelines and economics. 

Non-dairy probiotic products have global importance owing to an ongoing trend of vegetarianism and a high prevalence of lactose intolerance among various people all over the world. The drawback associated with the intake of dairy products includes lactose intolerance, cholesterol content, and allergenic milk proteins, which makes the development of new non-dairy probiotic foods essential. Lactose-free diet is the only treatment for people suffering from lactose intolerance. Complete avoidance of lactose allows the gut to heal and resolve nutritional deficiencies and other associated symptoms. Strict adherence to the lactose-free diet also reduces the risk of developing many of the serious long-term complications related to untreated lactose intolerance. This is set to give a boost in the U.S. Refrigerated Dairy Desserts market in upcoming years.
