Ice cream is a product that is commonly consumed all over the world due to its cooling and enjoyment effect and has a high nutritional and caloric value because it is based on milk, fat, sugar, and emulsifiers (Karaman et al., 2014). Scientific results have shown that there is a close relationship between high-fat intake and diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular disease (Akil & Ahmad, 2011). Therefore, due to the negative effects of fat, trend for consuming low-fat products in the diet, such as low-fat ice cream has increased . Since ice cream is a relatively fat product and is of particular popularity among the general public, there is a great demand for low-fat or non-fat varieties (Al-Sayed & Ahmed, 2013).Fat removal or reduction, depending on its key role in the acceptability of features such as texture, shape, appearance, smell, flavor, and mouth feel may lead to several problems in the structure and texture of the produced ice cream such as coarseness and roughness, iciness, crushing, and reduces the size and bad flavor (Azari-Anpar, . The most important role of fat in ice cream is to stabilize air bubbles (Aime et al., 2001). Therefore, it is important to find the optimal formulation to remove fat or fat substitute . Fat substitutes are classified into three categories: carbohydrate, fat and protein, low-calorie fats, emulsifiers, and combined products (Peng & Yao, 2017).
The customer demand for healthier, fortified, and vegan products has recently received much attention. In this study, the vitamin C content, total phenolic compounds, total flavonoid, and anthocyanin, as well as the antioxidant activity of Jaban watermelon exocarp (JWE) powder were first investigated. Then, the gummy candies (GCs) were prepared with different concentrations of JWE powder (20, 35, and 50%), citric acid (0.75 and 1%), and agar gum (0.5 and 1%), and their physicochemical and sensory properties were evaluated. The results showed that the moisture content and water activity of GCs decreased, while the pH value increased with the increasing concentration of JWE powder. Moreover, the GCs became brighter and more yellowish. The rheological and textural analysis indicated that the viscosity and hardness of GCs improved in higher JWE powder levels (0.457 to 1.550 Pa·s and 1667 to 7232 g, respectively). Furthermore, the highest panelists’ score was given to the GC 5 sample with 35% JWE powder, 0.75% acetic acid, and 0.5% agar gum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
