Determining the influence of plant-based proteins on the characteristics of dairy ice cream

This paper investigates the functional and technological properties of proteins in the composition of dairy ice cream. The object of the research was the technology of ice cream with plant-based proteins. The problem to be solved was the improvement of physical-chemical and rheological characteristics of mixtures and ice cream with a low fat content by using moisture-binding structuring proteins of plant origin. It was established that pea protein concentrate has the highest foaming properties. Oat protein concentrate shows a moderate ability to form and stabilize foams, while soy protein isolate does not reveal this function at all. The presence of plant-based proteins in all ice cream mixtures increases their nominal viscosity, but the highest thixotropy is observed for the concentrate of pea (56.5–61.0 %) and oat (54.8–57.2 %) proteins. They form food systems with a pronounced coagulation structure, which are capable of self-repair of bonds during the maturation of mixtures for 8 hours. Soy protein isolate reduces the thixotropic ability of ice cream mixtures, which limits the expediency of its use. The defined physical-chemical indicators of ice cream make it possible to justify the rational content of proteins in the composition of ice cream, which is 1–2 % for pea protein concentrate and 1 % for oat protein concentrate. Data on the rheological behavior of ice cream mixtures do not always coincide with previously established patterns, which is due to the difference in chemical composition between the studied food systems, as well as methods of their preparation and use. The results of this work could be used in the technology of low-fat ice cream, as well as in compositions for new types of ice cream enriched with protein

The Effect Of Adding Red Dragon Fruit Skin On The Quality Of Dadiah Gelato

Indonesia is geographically located on the equator, which is a country with a tropical climate. Ice cream is a snack that is suitable to eat when the weather is hot. One type of ice cream is gelato. Gelato is a type of frozen dairy food dessert which is a processed product made from cow's milk and is included in the low-fat ice cream category. The main ingredients for gelato include cow's milk, whipped cream, egg yolks and sugar. Gelato has lower fat content (4-8%) and total solids (32-42%) than regular ice cream, but usually has higher sugar content (16-21%) to provide a smooth, scoopable texture. Ways are needed to develop gelato, such as adding curd and natural coloring from fruit. Dadiah has weaknesses in terms of its sour taste and fishy aroma which people don't like, therefore there needs to be innovation or efforts that can be made to attract people's interest in consuming dadiah, such as by adding dragon fruit skin. 30-35% of dragon fruit is the skin of the fruit, but it is often just thrown away as trash and considered waste without being used for anything more useful. Dragon fruit skin contains quite high levels of antioxidant compounds which are able to fight oxidation in the body. Red dragon fruit skin contains vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3 and vitamin C, protein, fat, carbohydrates, crude fiber, thiamine, niacin, pyridoxine, cobalamin, glucose, phenol, betacyanin, polyphenols, carotene, phosphorus, iron and flavonoids. This research aims to analyze the effect of adding 15%, 25% and 35% of red dragon fruit skin on the quality of the color, aroma, texture, taste and preferences of the dadiah gelato produced. This type of research is a pure experiment using a Completely Randomized Design method. The data used is primary data obtained directly from 3 expert panelists by filling in the organoleptic test format for the quality of gelato with the effect of adding red dragon fruit skin. The data obtained is then tabulated in table form and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is carried out, if Fh>Ft then followed by the Duncan Test. The results of the research showed that there was a significant effect of adding red dragon fruit skin of 15%, 25% and 35% on color quality (pink fanta). The best result from the gelato quality test with the addition of red dragon fruit skin was 35%.

Dietary fibers effects on physical, thermal, and sensory properties of low-fat ice cream

This study investigated the effect of incorporating dietary fibers, inulin, acacia, oat, and apple, in a low-fat vanilla ice cream. A significant increase in the ice cream mixture viscosity was observed with the addition of dietary fibers. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the crystallization temperature when apple and oat fibers were used. Additionally, low-fat dietary fiber ice creams displayed statistically lower (p < 0.05) glass transition and melting temperatures than full-fat ones, with the most pronounced reductions observed for samples enriched with acacia and apple fibers. Dietary fibers affected (p < 0.05) the sensory profile of low-fat ice cream. However, inulin and acacia fibers samples showed a sensory profile comparable to the full-fat ice cream for nearly all attributes. These findings suggest that utilizing inulin and acacia fibers in low-fat ice cream yields characteristics of full-fat, underscoring the potential for crafting high-quality, reduced-fat ice cream products.

Quality characteristics of low-fat ice cream mixtures as affected by modified cassava starch and hydrocolloids

ABSTRACT Reducing ice cream fat content without losing its quality characteristics is a nutritional requirement of many consumers and it is a challenge for the ice cream industry. The objective of this study was to evaluate low-fat hard ice cream formulations using modified cassava starch as a fat substitute. It was used in a proportion of 10% and hydrocolloids such as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), guar gum, and xanthan gum were used as stabilizers. Mixture viscosity, drip-through time, melting percentage, total solids, titratable acidity, pH, and hardness were determined. The best formulations were the treatments with a mixture of 67% CMC, 33% guar gum, and 100% xanthan gum; they had a viscosity above 5000 cP, melting percentage lower than 7%, and overrun higher than 93%. In addition, a sensory acceptance evaluation was performed on the two best treatments and compared to a low-fat ice cream using a commercial stabilizer and an ice cream with a 7% fat ratio. The sensory results showed that the samples did not present significant differences, which is important because the best formulations can compete with the commercial stabilizers currently used for this type of ice cream.

Physicochemical characterization of debranched waxy rice starches and their effect on the quality of low-fat ice cream mixtures

Excessive fat intake can have adverse health effects. Thus, consumers often look for alternative, low-fat ice cream options, but decreased fat content in ice cream can affect the taste and quality. Therefore, this study investigated the functional and physiochemical properties of debranched waxy rice (DBWR) starches as a fat substitute in ice cream. We found that after debranching, the molecular weight of DBWR starch changed from 17.03 × 106 g/mol to 9.18 × 104 g/mol. Additionally, the short-chain amylose content and dextrose equivalence value increased as the debranching degree increased. Furthermore, the particle size of the ice cream mixture gradually decreased as the degree of debranching increased, stabilizing after 4 h of debranching (1.356 ± 0.364 μm); the ice cream slurry also had a high Zeta potential (over −30 mV) and improved emulsion stability. Compared to low-fat ice cream without fat substitutes, adding DBWR starches also increased the viscosity and consistency coefficient of the mixture, reduced the amount of ice and free water, increased the amount of bound water, positively affected the glass transition temperature, and improved the melting resistance of ice cream owing to the strong interactions among short-chain amylose molecules. Specifically, 2 and 4 h of debranching had the best substitution effects. The low-fat ice cream mixtures with DBWR-2 and DBWR-4 had similar sensory properties as medium-fat ice cream mixtures. This study demonstrates that DBWR starch could be a suitable fat substitute that retains the quality and consistency of low-fat ice cream.

The Potential Use of Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil By-Product as an Alternative Source in the Production of Plant-Based Drink and Plant-Based Low-Fat Ice Cream: The Rheological, Thermal, and Sensory Properties of Plant-Based Ice Cream.

This study aimed to investigate the potential use of cold-pressed coconut oil by-products (COB) as a low-cost alternative source for plant-based drink and ice cream production. Firstly, a plant-based drink was produced from cold-pressed coconut oil by-products (COB drink) and compared with a commercial coconut drink. The fat, protein, and zeta potential values of coconut drink obtained from COB were higher than those of the commercial samples. In addition, the particle size value of the drink obtained from COB was found to be lower than that of the commercial drink. In the second stage, full-fat and low-fat plant-based ice cream samples using COB drink were produced and compared to control ice cream samples (produced by the commercial coconut drink) in terms of rheological, sensorial, and thermal properties. Rheological analysis showed that all plant-based ice cream samples indicated pseudoplastic, solid-like, and recoverable characteristics. Low-fat commercial control ice cream samples (C1) indicated the lowest K value (9.05 Pasn), whereas the low-fat plant-based ice cream sample produced by the COB drink (COB-3) exhibited the highest K value (17.69 Pasn). ΔHf values of the plant-based ice cream samples varied from 144.70 J/g to 172.70 J/g. The low-fat COB ice cream stabilized with 3% COB and full-fat COB ice cream samples showed lower ΔHf values than control ice cream samples, indicating that the COB ice cream showed desired thermal properties. The COB drink may be utilized in plant-based ice cream without altering sensory qualities, and low-fat ice cream could be manufactured in the same manner to attain full-fat ice cream quality characteristics. The results of this study demonstrated that COB can be successfully used as an inexpensive raw material source in the production of full-fat and reduced-fat vegetable-based ice cream.

Role of polysaccharide structure in the rheological, physical and sensory properties of low-fat ice cream

Polysaccharides can be used as fat replacers in ice cream, as they contribute to an increase of viscosity. However, no research has clarified the exact role of viscosity from that of the structure of the polysaccharides on the properties of ice cream. In this study, the effect of polysaccharide structure on different properties of low-fat ice cream was investigated. The polysaccharides taken into consideration varied from flexible (locust bean gum and guar gum) to rigid (xanthan gum and iota carrageenan). Relationships between rheological properties of ice cream mixes and microstructural characteristics and sensory perception of the final ice cream were established. To separate the effect of the polysaccharide structure from that of viscosity, two series of ice cream were prepared: one in which the mix viscosity of the various samples was similar (approximately 68.3 mPa· s), and one in which the serum phase viscosity was similar (approximately 15563 mPa· s). Flexible polysaccharides showed a lower degree of shear-thinning and a more liquid-like viscoelastic behavior compared with rigid polysaccharides. In addition, flexible polysaccharides led to higher overrun (47–58%) than other samples (approximately 30%), which resulted in lower hardness of the ice cream (<3.2 MPa). Rigid polysaccharides caused gelation of the serum phase, which made the ice cream more difficult to scoop. Based on the results of the sensory evaluation, flexible polysaccharides could provide higher softness and creaminess-related properties, while rigid polysaccharides resulted in higher coldness and grittiness. Therefore, polysaccharides with a flexible structure are a better choice for improving the textural and sensory properties of low-fat ice cream.

Low-fat ice cream model system: impact of incorporation of alcalase hydrolyzed zein.

Research on fat substitutes with low calories and good flavor is important to reduce the fat content in food. In this paper, the selection of fat substitutes and the preparation of low-fat ice cream were carried out through looking at the emulsion properties of the enzymatic hydrolysis of zein. The results showed that the emulsifying activity of zein after enzymatic hydrolysis for 10 min was 66.76 m2 g-1, and the emulsifying stability was 78.51 min, showing the best emulsifying properties. Enzymatic hydrolysis of zein can effectively reduce the degree of lipid oxidation. The protein digestibility in intestinal juice was also significantly improved, and the release rate of free fatty acids in the emulsion reached more than 80%. The viscosity, shear stress, elastic modulus, electronic nose and electronic tongue of ice cream with 10% oil substitute were close to those of full-fat ice cream. It is expected to provide a basis for the development of functional foods.

Soybean-Oil-Body-Substituted Low-Fat Ice Cream with Different Homogenization Pressure, Pasteurization Condition, and Process Sequence: Physicochemical Properties, Texture, and Storage Stability.

The purpose of this research was to explore the impacts of different homogenization pressures, pasteurization conditions, and process sequence on the physical and chemical properties of soybean oil body (SOB)-substituted low-fat ice cream as well as the storage stability of SOB-substituted ice cream under these process parameters. With the increase of homogenization pressure (10–30 MPa), the increase of pasteurization temperature (65 °C for 30 min–85 °C for 15 min), and the addition of SOB before homogenization, the overrun and apparent viscosity of ice cream increased significantly, and the particle size, hardness, and melting rate decreased significantly. Thus, frozen dairy products of desired quality and condition could be obtained by optimizing process parameters. In addition, the SOB ice cream showed better storage stability, which was reflected in lower melting rate and hardness and more stable microstructure compared with the full-milk-fat ice cream. This study opened up new ideas for the application of SOB and the development of nutritious and healthy ice cream. Meanwhile, this research supplied a conceptual basis for the processing and quality optimization of SOB ice cream.

FUNCTIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF OAT BETA-GLUCAN IN ACIDOPHILIC-WHEY ICE CREAM

The purpose of the work is to study the functional and technological properties of oat beta-glucan both individually and as part of acidophilic-whey ice cream. The research methods, that were used, are well known and have relevant references in the work. At the first stage of the experiment, the functional and technological properties of oat beta-glucan from two manufacturers were studied: «AMULYN» (China) and «DANSON» (China). According to the results of sensory evaluation, beta-glucan «DANSON» received 8.75 points, and «AMULYN» - 10 points. It was found that the water holding capacity of beta-glucan «AMULYN» is 15.45 % higher than with beta-glucan «DANSON», and fat binding capacity is higher by 8.61 %, which is probably due to the different degree of purification of these additives. Therefore, a more effective beta-glucan «AMULAN» was chosen for further use in acidophilic-whey low-fat ice cream. At the second stage of scientific work the influence of oat beta-glucan «AMULYN» on the quality of acidophilic-whey low-fat ice cream was studied. It was found that beta-glucan in the amount of 0.75 % increases the indicator of overrun more than twice compared to the control sample without beta-glucan. Beta-glucan in a certain amount also significantly improves the organoleptic characteristics of ice cream, increases resistance to melting and ensures uniform distribution of the air phase throughout the volume of the product, as evidenced by microstructural analysis of its samples. A significant effect of beta-glucan on the dynamic viscosity coefficient of ice cream mixes has been established. The detected effect allows to reduce the ripening process of ice cream mixtures with beta-glucan in the amount of 0.75 % by 2 hours, provided that the recommended viscosity of these systems is achieved. Thus, the expediency of using oat beta-glucan as an effective functional and technological ingredient in acidophilic-whey ice cream is scientifically substantiated.

Improving Health Benefits, Nutritional Value and Quality Attributes of Low Fat Ice Milk Made from Camel ’s Milk And Defatted Chia Seeds Flour

Defatted chia seeds flour (DCSF) was prepared and its chemical composition and some functional properties were assessed. Nine chocolate ice milk batches were prepared to study the effect of replacing milk fat with DCSF. Control ice milk contained 4% fat, while the other 8 batches were prepared by replacing 25, 50, 75 and 100% of milk fat with DCSF either at the rate of 50 and 100% of substituted fat. Replacement of milk fat with the same amount of DCSF increased specific gravity, weight per gallon and viscosity, while decreased the freezing point of ice milk mixes. On the other hand substitution of milk fat with DCSF increased melting resistance, total protein, ash content and titratable acidity of ice milk treatments. This increase was more obvious by replacing with fat with the same amount of DCSF than those of ice milk treatments made by replacing milk fat with DCSF at the rate of 50% of substituted fat. Total solids, total protein and ash content and acidity of ice milk treatments did not change significantly during storage period. Replacing milk fat up to 50% with the same amount of DCSF increased the overrun and total scores of organoleptic properties, while increasing the rate of replacement above 50% reduced the overrun and scores of organoleptic properties. Ice milk treatment T22 that made with replacing 50% of milk fat with the same amount of DCSF gained the highest total score of organoleptic properties and was most acceptable ice milk treatment. Treatment T31 that made with replacing 75% of milk fat with 37.5% of DCSF exhibited higher total score than control ice milk. Therefore, it is possible to milk a good quality low fat ice milk by decreasing 50% of milk fat with 50% of DCSF and / or reducing 75% of milk fat with 37.5% of DCSF.

Oats as a Functional Food

Oat (Avena sativa) belongs to the grass (Poaceae) family. It has been recognized as a healthful and nutritious cereal containing high concentration of soluble fiber compounds such as β-glucan, which are beneficial for digestive system and preventive against colon rectal cancer help to maintain an optimal weight due to high fiber content. It also contains antioxidants, vitamins, phenolic acids sterols and phytic acid which has essential role in our body functioning. The key cholesterol lowering ingredient in oats is soluble fiber. β-glucans, the most important cereal non-starch. β-glucan, is abundant in oat kernels and exhibits a high viscosity at relatively low concentrations. Viscosity is an important rheological property of β-glucan and is associated with beneficial physiologic responses that mediate appetite regulation. Oats were traditionally eaten as porridge with salt or sugar were added recent modern product innovation has created an array of oat products (Oat breads, oat cakes and oats milk etc.). Oats are used as an additive in Cereal breakfast, baked goods, oat milk and oat powder is incorporated in many Dairy products like (low-fat ice creams, yoghurts, cheese and other fermented drinks). It is stated that 3 g/day oat β-glucan reduced the total and LDL cholesterol by five to ten per cent.

The Effect of Cold Press Chia Seed Oil By-Products on the Rheological, Microstructural, Thermal, and Sensory Properties of Low-Fat Ice Cream.

This study aimed to investigate the utilization of cold-pressed chia-seed oil by-products (CSOB) in a low-fat ice cream formulation as a fat replacer and stabilizer. In the study, ice cream emulsion mixtures were formulated by using 0.2–0.4% xanthan gum (XG), 2.5–12.5% fat, and 1–3% CSOB. Optimization was performed using the response surface methodology (RSM) and full factorial central composite design (CCD) based on the flow behavior rheological properties of the emulsions obtained from 17 different experimental points. All of the emulsion samples showed non-Newtonian shear-thinning flow behavior. The consistency coefficient (Κ) values of the emulsion samples were found to be 4.01–26.05 Pasn and were significantly affected by optimization parameters (p < 0.05). The optimum formulation was determined as 0.29% XG, 2.5% CSOB, 2.5% fat. The low-fat (LF-IC) and full-fat control samples (FF-IC) were compared to samples produced with an optimum formulation (CBLF-IC) based on the steady shear, frequency sweep, and 3-ITT (three interval thixotropy test) rheological properties, thermal properties, emulsion stability, light microscope images, and sensory quality. CBLF-IC showed similar rheological behavior to FF-IC. The mix of CBLF-IC showed higher emulsion stability and lower poly-dispersity index (PDI) value and fat globule diameters than those of FF-IC and LF-IC. The thermal properties of the samples were significantly affected by the addition of CSOB in an ice cream mix. CBLF-IC exhibited a lower temperature range (ΔT), enthalpy of fusion (ΔHf), and freezing point temperature (Tf) than those of FF-IC and LF-IC. While CBLF-IC exhibited a higher overrun value than other samples, it showed similar sensory properties to the FF-IC sample. The results of this study suggested that CSOB could be used successfully in low-fat ice cream production. This study also has the potential to gain new perspectives for the evaluation of CSOB as a fat substitute in a low-fat ice cream.

Utilization of thermal-denatured whey protein isolate-milk fat emulsion gel microparticles as stabilizers and fat replacers in low-fat yogurt

In the current study, thermal-denatured whey protein-milk fat emulsion gel microparticles (WPI-EGs) were used as stabilizers and fat replacers in low-fat yogurt. The effects of emulsion gel microparticles were studied on the texture, rheology, microstructure, and sensory evaluation of low-fat yogurt. The results showed that yogurt with WPI-EGs had a better (p < 0.05) water-holding capacity. The hardness of low-fat yogurt (1.50% (wt/wt) fat) added with WPI-EGs (1.5% LF-EY) increased (p < 0.05) significantly compared than skim yogurt and whole fat yogurt. Results from scanning electron microscopy showed that with the addition of WPI-EGs, yogurt has a more compact network structure and smaller pores. This study shows that WPI-EGs can be used as an effective fat replacer and stabilizer in yogurt. WPI-EGs have broad application prospects in dairy products, such as low-fat ice cream and processed cheese.
