Effect of microencapsulation and mango peel powder on probiotics survival in ice cream
Abstract This study evaluated the effect of microencapsulation and addition of mango peel powder on the survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis, overrun, apparent viscosity, and overall acceptability of symbiotic ice cream during storage at -20 °C for 180 days. Six formulations of vanilla-flavored ice cream were prepared: three with addition of probiotic cultures at a concentration of 108 CFU/g and 0, 2%, and 3% mango peel powder microencapsulated in a sodium alginate matrix, and three with free addition. Analytical evaluations were performed after 1, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 days of storage. The results showed that microencapsulation of probiotics and prebiotics statistically influenced (p < 0.05) the characteristics evaluated. The formulation with microencapsulated probiotics and 2% mango peel powder was considered as the best product. This formulation is promising for future commercial application as a functional food because, at the end 180 days of storage, it showed probiotics population >106 CFU/g, 72.97% overrun, 292 mPA apparent viscosity, and good overall acceptance (7.6 points) equivalent to “I like it very much”.
