Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of the incorporation of spent coffee grounds in ice cream cones on the quality, sensory characteristics, and in vitro starch digestibility. The incorporation of spent coffee grounds in ice cream cones increased the content of dietary fiber and phenolic compounds. However, the quality and texture characteristics decreased with the addition of spent coffee grounds. The in vitro starch digestibility decreased significantly, resulting in a significant increase in resistant starch content. Fitting starch digestibility using the LOS-plot model revealed the presence of two sequential first-order digestion rates. Sensory analysis revealed that the panelists well accepted ice cream cones fortified with spent coffee grounds. The results suggest that spent coffee grounds are a potential ingredient for the formulation of food matrices with reduced starch digestibility, which contributes to the prevention of chronic degenerative diseases such as type II diabetes.
