Abstract:
Different fruit juices and sauces can be incorporated as flavorings in ice cream
production. This research was conducted to find out whether a dessert can be
produced by incorporating Veralu sauce into ice cream. Trial and error method was
used to determine the suitable composition of the ingredients for Veralu sauce.
Predetermined three treatments (T1, T2 and T3) were rippled at the rate of 20%
(V/V) with Vanilla flavored ice cream. Three treatments and their rippled products
(Product A, B and C) were analyzed for physio-chemical and microbial qualities.
The sensory evaluation was carried out with 15 well trained panelists and data were
analyzed by Friedman fest Results confirmed that three ice cream products in terms
of physio-chemical and microbial properties were accordance with the Sri Lanka
Standards. Ice cream (B) which rippled with the sauce T2 was selected as the best
and both could be stored for one and half months at -18 °C without quality
deterioration. Finally, it can be concluded that the sauce which contains 35% sugar
and 30% Veralu can be successfully incorporated during the production of ripple ice
cream.
