This study investigated a novel probiotic-enriched ice cream containing fermented white kidney bean homogenate to explore its potential health benefits in the future. We assessed the viability of various probiotic strains during ice cream production and storage, focusing on their potential to reach the gut, and evaluated overall antioxidant activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′ -Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and total polyphenol content (TPC) assays. The incorporation of fermented white bean homogenate significantly increased antioxidant capacity compared to the control group. Notably, strains such as Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v demonstrated the most pronounced effects on antioxidant activity, suggesting potential synergistic benefits between probiotics and bioactive compounds in fermented white beans. Although all probiotic strains experienced decreased viability during storage, certain strains, particularly L. plantarum 299v and Lacticaseibacillus casei DN-114001, showed promising survival rates even after 6 months. These results suggest the potential for developing probiotic ice cream containing viable bacteria capable of reaching the gut and contributing to a healthy gut microbiota. Overall, this study highlights the potential of probiotic-enriched ice cream with fermented white kidney bean homogenate to combine the established benefits of probiotics for gut health with the enjoyment of consuming ice cream.

This study investigated the sensory characteristics and overall acceptability of turmeric- and black-pepper-enriched ice creams. For this purpose, a control sample (C) and a series of flavoured ice creams were prepared as follows: samples with 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% of turmeric powder (T0, T1, and T2), and samples with a mixture of turmeric (0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%), and 0.02% of black pepper (T0p, T1p, and T2p). Participants (n = 103) were asked to rate the acceptability of the ice creams using a nine-point hedonic scale, the liking of attributes by a five-point scale, the evaluation of attributes intensity by a just-about-right (JAR) scale, and attribute characterisation through a CATA test. They were also asked about their purchase and consumption intention of prepared ice cream samples. The addition of turmeric powder significantly (p < 0.05) affected the sensory properties of the ice cream, whereas no correlation was found between the addition of black pepper and consumers' ratings of the evaluated samples. According to the results, besides the control sample, the ice cream with 0.5% of turmeric powder and 0.02% black pepper (T0p) had the most desired attributes and the highest score for overall liking (6.94). In conclusion, these valuable spices could be used in the production of ice cream with potential functional properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ice cream is a popular product worldwide. Unfortunatelly, it contains a significant amount of fat. In this review, promising strategies for the use of w/o/w multiple emulsion structures in creams are assessed. W/o/w multiple emulsions (MEs) enable reduction the fat without losing the creamy taste and mouthfeel and also encapsulation of sensitive compounds. The encouraging application and formation of MEs in ice cream mixtures is supported by the use of natural food ingredients, such as fiber, which helps to stabilize the whole system and improves nutritional value. The future trends may be focused on the target stabilizations using Pickering paticles (PPs). The possible advantages, manufacture, evaluation methods, and predicted future prospects of MEs in ice creams are discussed.

The effects of pumpkin puree and guar gum on the bioactive, rheological, thermal and sensory properties of ice cream were investigated. The addition of pumpkin puree increased total phenolic content, dietary fibre, and antioxidant activity. Appropriate models described shear thinning and thixotropic behaviours of all mixes. By either adding pumpkin puree or by increasing guar gum concentration, all rheological properties increased except the flow behaviour index. Adding pumpkin puree reduced the freezing point temperature, ice content, frozen water and glass transition temperature but it increased unfreezable water. Increasing guar gum concentration did not alter colour and firmness, whereas the pumpkin puree increased colour, intensity of fruit flavours and firmness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ten types of classic and probiotic (Saccharomyces boulardii) ice cream were produced using different mixture combinations containing 10 or 20% Saruç, a traditional Turkish snack containing dried Cimin grape, Kemah walnut, and 0.5 or 1.0% grape seed. Physical, chemical, and microbiological analyses conducted during the storage period (days 1, 15, 30 and 60 at -20 ± 1°C) were used to assess the probiotic shelf life and quality properties of the ice cream samples. The desired therapeutic effects of S. boulardii levels in probiotic products were from 106 to 108 CFU/g during storage. The results revealed that Saruç, grape seed, and S. boulardii had a significant effect on the quality properties of ice cream samples. Titration acidity, total dry matter, fat, protein, ash, glucose, fructose, total sugar, viscosity, first dripping time, complete melting time, a* value, and calorie (kcal) values increased with increasing concentration of Saruç. However, pH, sucrose, melting rate, L*, and b* values decreased. Grape seed increased titration acidity, protein, fat, ash, viscosity, first dripping time, complete melting time, and calorie values in all samples, but decreased the pH values. The addition of Saruç and grape seed positively affected the growth and viability of S. boulardii at levels from 106 to 108 CFU/g during storage. Taking all the quality parameters into consideration, it was shown that with the addition of Saruç, grape seed, and S. boulardii, new functional ice creams with high nutritional value could be produced.

Date is one of the important agricultural products in Iran and due to lack of attention to its by-products and its process; a large amount of this valuable product is annually lost. The aim of this study was to compare the physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory properties of ice cream with two sweeteners of date liquid sugar and date syrup. For this purpose, sugar was replaced with date liquid sugar and date syrup in ice cream formulation, at 5 levels (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%). Chemical (sugar, fat, total solid, ash, acidity, protein, pH), physical (viscosity, over run, thermal shock resistance to melting, the shape retention and sensory (texture, taste, color, odor, general acceptation) and microbiological (aerobic mesophilic, E. coli, molds, yeasts and Staphylococcus aureus) properties were evaluated. The results showed that the microbial count of date syrup containing samples was reduced due to the anti microbial properties of date syrup. Over run and viscosity were similar to control samples in replacement levels up to 50% replacement by date liquid sugar and date syrup, but they decreased with further increase of replacement ratio (75 and 100%). By the increasing replacement ratio of date liquid sugar and date syrup, ice cream melting resistance and shape retention significantly decreased and sensitivity to thermal shock increased (P≤0.05). The results of the sensory properties showed that replacement in level of (25-50%) date syrup and (25-75%) of date liquid sugar had no significant effect on the organoleptic properties, and could be applied in ice cream formulation.

Grape juice residue was incorporated into ice cream at 2.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% to obtain a product with functional characteristics. The chemical composition, colour, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity and sensory acceptance of the ice creams were analysed at day 0 and after 40 days of storage. Ice creams containing grape juice residue had a higher concentration of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity compared to the control samples. Consumers’ acceptance was similar for all products. At the end of storage, the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity had decreased. Grape juice residue has potential as a natural source of antioxidants to develop new products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to produce ice cream which is a delicious and healthy dairy product with increased health benefits by adding various functional properties. Accordingly, goat's milk, milk powder, sahlep, tagatose, and Litesse ultra and polydextrose (as prebiotics) and Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei and Bifidobacterium longum + Bifidobacterium bifidum combined culture (as probiotic cultures) and commercial raspberry and blackberry fruit sauces and fruit sauce prepared from frozen raspberry were used for production of ice cream. During ice cream production, rates of all ingredients were fixed except the fruit sauce. In the study, four types of ice cream were produced, namely control sample, sample containing commercial raspberry and blackberry sauces and sample containing raspberry sauce produced from frozen raspberries. The study was conducted as a single production containing two duplicates. Shelf-life of the samples were 120 days and some physicochemical and functional properties were examined on the 1st, 15th, 30th, 60th, 90th and 120th days of the storage and the results were evaluated. It was found that fruit sauce fortification had a significant effect on the fat, protein, titratable acidity, pH, ash, saccharose, melting rate, color (L, a, b values), total phenolics, anthocyanidin, flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity (p<0.05). In the light of the results obtained, it is believed that our study was important in terms of providing alternative and delicious functional products both for food industry and consumers.
