A significantly more favorable response of panelists
to the body, texture, and taste of probiotic goat’s milk ice
cream was also observed after 12 weeks of storage. This
is in contrast to the findings of Nousia et al. (2011) who
reported no significant association between storage time
and changes in sensory characteristics, including texture
and taste, for probiotic cow’s milk ice cream at 15 and
45 weeks after production at
−25 ◦C. The often reported
unpleasant “goaty” flavor was not found to be particularly
noticeable in the ice cream in this study, probably due to
the inclusion of the cocoa powder.
