Impact of stabilizers on the rheological properties of ice creams
Abstract The effect of the food hydrocolloids Guar gum, Locust bean gum (LBG) and Gelatin, as well as their mixtures (even carrageenan was used in all formulations – 0.035%), was studied on the rheological characteristics of ice cream formulations. A frequency sweep test, at low temperature (-8 °C), was performed to evaluate the elastic (G’) and viscous (G”) modulus. The ice cream produced using Gelatin and blend of Gelatin and LBG (0.09 and 0.18%) presented higher values of G’, which is an indicative of the presence of ice crystals and greater rigidity. The thermo-oscillatory rheometry was used to correlate the rheological properties and the characteristic of the ice creams (creaminess, sensory, melting). A temperature sweep test, from -10 to 5 °C was performed to evaluate changes in the structures of the products and their relationship with the sensory properties. For all formulations tested, it was observed, from -10 °C to -1 °C, a large decline in the elastic and viscous modulus due to the loss of interactions between the ice crystals, associated with their melting. After melting, the parameter G”, indicative of the creaminess of ice cream during consumption, showed a slight advantage to the ice creams produced with Guar gum alone and its blend with LBG.
