In memoriam: Bruce Tharp, Ph.D.
By Steven Young, Ph.D.
Bruce
W. Tharp, holder of B.S., M.S, and Ph.D. degrees in dairy science,
Penn State University, passed away suddenly May 18, 2019. He was
89.
The son and grandson of ice cream industry pioneers, Dr. Tharp
had a lifetime commitment to the processed dairy foods industry.
With specialized interests in ice cream and frozen desserts, he
was an acclaimed pioneer and innovator - even being recognized
as the
inaugural recipient of the International Ice Cream Association’s
Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006, presented by the International
Dairy Foods Association (IDFA).
After receiving his advanced degrees in dairy science, Tharp taught
and did research as a faculty member at the University of Wyoming
and The Ohio State University. After teaching and performing basic
research,
he managed the technical affairs of two major suppliers of high-technology
ingredients for processed dairy foods, including serving as international
technical director for Germantown International Ltd., now part
of DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences.
Dr. Tharp’s professional activities included a major focus on ice
cream science, technology and technical support activities, during
which
he achieved international recognition for his technical expertise,
field experience and applied technical insights. This led to activities
as an authoritative lecturer at short courses, seminars, workshops
and technical conferences worldwide. Dr. Tharp served as a lecturer
at most academic ice cream short courses; he was a featured lecturer
at the Penn State Ice Cream Short Course for 45 years. He also participated
in custom on-site ice cream technical training programs at many international
and domestic ice cream manufacturer and supplier locations, and served
as technical advisor to a global consortium of independent ice cream
manufacturers.
For over 15 years, Dr. Tharp participated in the annual IDFA Ice
Cream Technology Conference as both an invited lecturer and a technical
advisor.
Dr. Tharp was a noted expert in the use of sensory evaluation of
frozen desserts, which led to a 35-year appointment as official
judge for
the U.S. Intercollegiate Dairy Products Evaluation Contest, and
then as overall head judge – ice cream.
In 1992, Dr. Tharp and Steven Young, Ph.D., co-developed the Tharp & Young
on Ice Cream: Technical Short Course, Workshops and Clinics series,
serving 600- plus companies representing all aspects of ice cream
science and technology, product development and manufacturing.
The short course series itself led to Dr. Tharp and Young co-authoring
the reference text "Tharp & Young
on Ice Cream: An Encyclopedic Guide to Ice Cream Science and Technology" (2012)
to complement their quarterly "Tharp & Young on Ice Cream" technical
columns for Dairy Foods magazine.
Dr. Tharp also held appointments as an adjunct professor of food
science at the Pennsylvania State University, State College, Pa.,
and adjunct
professor of food chemistry at Drexel University, Philadelphia.
The following quote summarizes his approach: “Most people in the
ice cream industry are really, really nice folks! If you cannot have
fun making ice cream, then consider working in a cough syrup factory.”
Dr. Tharp will be missed by all that he influenced as mentor, innovator,
teacher, author and technical “change agent.” Not
to mention those yet to find their technical future in the ice cream industry
worldwide.
