As can be seen in Table 3, the time period required for melting process to complete in ice cream samples in the present study was found to be significantly longer in samples A1 and A2. The ice cream sample A1 had the longest complete melting time (0.5 g/min), while sample B1 had the shortest complete melting time (0.36 g/min). It was suggested by Akın et al. (36) that the reason for slower melting of ice cream with added inulin might be the ability of inulin to prevent water molecules from moving freely. The mass fraction of the added banana peel flour (samples A1 and A2) affected the first dripping time positively (Table 3). Results of the present study indicate that the length of time until the first dripping was prolonged as a consequence of the increase in banana pulp content in the ice cream samples (p
