Abstract: | In the present work, fat reduction of Greek strained yoghurt ice cream (YIC) was carried out in three proportional milkfat levels i.e. 30, 50 and 70% using three types of oligosaccharides namely long-chain inulin, oligofructose and maltodextrin 12 DE. Greek strained yoghurt was blended with ice cream mixes in ratios of 1:3 and 1:1. The physico-chemical, textural and thermal characteristics of the YIC mixes and their obtained frozen end products were determined. The sensory modalities (olfactory, gustatory, tactile and oro-tactile) of the YIC were monitored following 2 and 16 weeks of quiescent frozen storage at ?25 °C. Milkfat reduction impaired significantly (p?0.05) the perceived creaminess and mouthcoating sensation stimuli, whist it intensified the oral tissue friction associated sense stimuli such as astringency, wateriness and coarseness. Long-chain inulin- and maltodextrin-based samples received the highest scores for creaminess, mouthcoating, gumminess, hardness and iciness. The increase of the yoghurt to ice cream mix ratio escalated the friction/recrystallization-associated sensations e.g. astringency, sourness, coarseness and wateriness. Notwithstanding yoghurt supplementation reinforced the pseudoplasticity and macroviscosity of the ice cream mixes, it suppressed their aeration capacity leading to heavy-bodied ice creams. However, no significant effects of yoghurt supplementation level on the colligative and meltdown rate of the YIC formulations were identified. Partial least squares coupled discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) revealed that fat reformulation of YICs using oligosaccharides results in a substantially diversified sensory profile. Generally, a 50% fat reduction of YICs using long-chain oligosaccharides appears to be a technologically tangible solution. |
