Ice cream is the major dairy product that dominates interest of large segments of the population. As a result, its production and consumption are rapidly increasing. The microbiological quality of ice cream during retail marketing mainly depends on the contamination during the product handling as well as efficiency and sanitary conditions during frozen storage. Many food poisoning cases associa...

In April 2013, a food poisoning outbreak caused by staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) in ice-cream occurred in Freiburg, Germany, among the 31 participants of a christening party. Of the 13 cases, seven were hospitalized or obtained ambulatory treatment. Different types of ice-cream, which was freshly produced at the hotel where the party took place, were found to contain SE and high amounts of ...

introduction: recently, consumers have directed their interest towards low fat products as they associated them with a reduced risk of well-known health problems such as obesity and coronary heart diseases. fat is a multifunctional ingredient in ice cream system. thus, in attempts to provide desirable flavor and physical characteristics of full fat ice cream, manufactures looking for fat replac...

BACKGROUND Dental caries is one of the most common health problems in the world. Probiotics are one the various preventive methods to reduce dental caries. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of probiotic ice cream and drink on salivary Streptococcus mutans levels in children of 6-12 years age group. MATERIALS AND METHODS A three phase study was carried out in children (n = ...

The object of this study was to investigate the difference in physical and sensory properties of various premium ice creams. The physical properties of the various ice creams were compared by manufacturing brand. The water contents of the samples differed, with BR having the highest value at 60.5%, followed by NT and CS at 57.8% and 56.9%, respectively. The higher the water content, the lower B...

The study was aimed at investigating the microbial quality of ice cream and ice pop sold in Gaborone. From the study, a variety of microorganisms were isolated. The population of bacteria was found to increase from the open ice cream samples while the pre-packed ice cream had a lower population of bacteria. The types of microorganisms were both mesophilic and psychrotrophic. The population of m...

The objective of this study was to examine the influence of processing parameters, viz., incorporation of polysaccharide stabilizers, freezing rates, and storage times and temperatures on the microstructure of ice cream. As the freezing rate was reduced, ice crystals and air bubbles increased in size. However, quenchfreezing also contributed to poor texture; thus an optimum freezing rate exists...

This study aimed to obtain the optimum formulation for stabilizers in ice cream that could contest with blends presented nowadays. Thus, different mixtures of three stabilizers, i.e. basil seed gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, and guar gum, at two concentrations (0.15 % & 0.35 %) were studied using mixture design methodology. The influence of these mixtures on some properties of ice cream and the ...

BACKGROUND In the coming years, a nutraceutical food may provide both physical and mental benefits that are commonly attributed to the active components of the food. OBJECTIVE In this study, we determined the nutrient and mineral contents, sensory properties, and physical and chemical characteristics of ice creams manufactured using peach fibre at different concentrations (1 and 2%). METHOD...

The effects of low molecular-weight collagen peptides derived from porcine skin were investigated on the physicochemical and sensorial properties of chocolate ice cream. Collagen peptides less than 1 kDa in weight were obtained by sub-critical water hydrolysis at a temperature of 300℃ and a pressure of 80 bar. Ice cream was then prepared with gelatin powder and porcine skin hydrolysate (PSH) st...
