The purpose to determine the effects of different fat replacers on the sensory and texture attributes of ice cream
-the functionality of basil seed gum (BSG), guar gum (GG)their blend (MGB, 50:50), at the concentration of 0.35, 0.45, 0.50 and 0.55%,sensory characteristics of low fat ice cream (2.5% fat) was compared with full fat sample (10%)evaluated using the Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA)Basil seed gum and its blend with guar gum did well as fat replacers in mixes.
Mixes with basil seed gum and its blend with guar were more thixotropic than guar.
Basil seed gum with more thixotropic nature resulted in higher creaminess and
Fat replacers reduced coldness resistance.
