This study explored the use of bacterial cellulose (BC) in milk-based cocoa ice cream as possible dietary fibers. BC fibers were added in 1%, 3%, and 5% wt. amounts, resulting in notable changes in texture, density, melting behavior. The ice cream transitioned from a Bingham to a Herschel-Bulkley fluid, while density rose with higher fiber content. Although hardness and gumminess slightly increased, the 5% wt. BC sample formed a more cohesive network structure when melted. Ice nucleation was delayed, with the first melt drop appearing later as BC content rose up to 22 minutes for the 5% wt. sample. Caloric content dropped by up to 21% corresponding to the highest amount of BC, making it a healthier dessert option. However, sensory testing showed that 1% and 3% wt. BC formulations were the most appealing to consumers.
本研究探索了将细菌纤维素(BC)作为可能的膳食纤维用于乳基可可冰淇淋中。以1%、3%和5%(重量)的量添加BC纤维,导致质地、密度、融化行为发生显著变化。冰淇淋从宾汉流体转变为赫谢尔-布克利流体,而密度随着纤维含量的增加而上升。尽管硬度和黏性略有增加,但5%(重量)BC样品在融化时形成了更具内聚性的网络结构。冰核形成延迟,随着BC含量的增加,第一个融滴出现得更晚,5%(重量)样品的第一个融滴出现时间延迟至22分钟。热量含量下降了高达21%,对应于最高量的BC,使其成为更健康的甜点选择。然而,感官测试表明,1%和3%(重量)BC配方对消费者最具吸引力。
