The Problem and Literature Review: 1.1 Background of The Study
Spices have been a major influence on Sri Lankan cuisine since times immemorial. Spices
are identified as one of the most distinctive ingredients for their indigenous flavor, aroma,
and medicinal properties. In this study, coconut milk-based spicy ice cream was developed
in compliance with the Sri Lankan standards to introduce a new perception of flavor using
spices to the ice cream industry. Although coconut ice cream is commercially available in the
local market, spicy flavored coconut ice cream is not yet available. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum
verum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), and white pepper (Piper nigrum) are the spices used in
the preparation of the ice cream as they are freely available and used as complementary
spices in Sri Lanka. Physicochemical characteristics and sensory attributes of coconut milk-
based spicy ice cream were compared with the existing normal coconut ice cream. In
preparation of the ice cream, the same ice cream manufacturing process was followed with
some modifications. Three different formulas (0.010%, 0.018%, and 0.025%) were
developed by changing the percentage of spices added. The 0.018% spice-added sample
was selected as the most acceptable ice cream with desired sensory attributes. pH
(), titratable acidity (), moisture (), ash (), total solids (), overrun (), protein (), and fat content
() were evaluated as physicochemical properties. Total phenolic content of the ice cream
was expressed as mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE) per gram of sample in dry weight (mg/g).
DPPH radical scavenging activity was mg ascorbic acid equivalents per gram of sample in dry
weight (mg/g), and total antioxidant capacity was expressed as mmol ascorbic acid
equivalent (AAE)/g of dry weight. Physicochemical properties of spicy coconut ice cream
were more or less similar to that of normal coconut ice cream and in compliance with the Sri
Lankan standards. Coconut milk-based spicy ice cream could be introduced to the market as
a potential marketable nondairy product with spicy flavor, aroma, and smooth texture.

1.2 Literature Review
Ice cream is a complex food colloid that consists of air bubbles, fat globules, ice crystals
and an unfrozen serum phase. Ice crystals and air bubbles are usually in the range of 20–50
μm. The air bubbles are usually partially coated with fat globules and the fat globules are
coated with a protein/emulsifier layer. The serum phase consists of the sugars and high
molecular weight polysaccharides in a freeze-concentrated solution. Various steps in the
manufacturing process, including pasteurization, homogenization, ageing, freezing, and
hardening, contribute to the development of this structure. Proteins and emulsifiers
compete for interfacial space during the homogenization of the fat and the creation of the
mix emulsion. Following homogenization, the emulsion is further affected by changes
occuring during the ageing step, viz., crystallization of the fat and rearrangement of the fat
globule membrane to the lowest free energy state. This emulsion then undergoes both
whipping and ice crystal formation during the dynamic freezing process, which contributes
to the development of the four main structural components of the frozen product: a
discontinuous foam, a network of partially coalesced fat surrounding the air bubbles, ice
crystals, and a continuous, freeze-concentrated, unfrozen aqueous solution.
The delights of ice cream have been known in the western world since Marco Polo
returned from Far East Asia in the 13th century bringing with him recipes for water ices.
Over time, these water ices evolved into the popular frozen desserts of today. Modern ice
cream is a partially-frozen mixture of milk, cream, sugar, stabilizers, and emulsifiers. Its
apparent simplicity belies the complicated structure inside America’s favorite frozen treat.
Ice cream is equally an emulsion, a dispersion, and a foam. The dispersion and emulsion
consist primarily of a freeze-concentrated aqueous serum phase containing sugar and the
dry matter contents surrounding dispersed ice crystals and fat globules (Marshall and others
2003). Ice crystals range in size from about 1 to over 150 μm in diameter, with an average
size of about 35 μm (Berger and others 1972; Caldwell and others 1992; Donhowe and
Hartel 1996a; Hagiwara and Hartel 1996; Hartel 1996; Koxholt and others 2000; Marshall
2
and others 2003; Sofjan and Hartel 2004; Inoue and others 2008; Kusumaatmaja 2009). Fat
globules are 2 μm or less in diameter (Marshall and others 2003). The foam is formed by
pockets of air (about 20 to 50 μm diameter) dispersed throughout the emulsion and is
supported by partially-coalesced fat globules (Goff 2002; Marshall and others 2003). The
best ice creams on the market have a smooth and creamy texture. That creamy texture,
primarily associated with a high fat content, is also determined, in part, by the average size
of the ice crystals. Larger crystals (greater than 50 μm) impart a grainy texture to the ice
cream, whereas smaller crystals (around 10 to 20 μm) give ice cream the desired creaminess
(Marshall and others 2003; Eisner and others 2005). With today’s consumers becoming
more and more health-conscious in their food choices, low-fat ice cream is becoming
increasingly popular. The challenge with low-fat ice cream, however, is achieving the same
creamy texture of the full-fat version. With less fat, ice cream commonly contains more
water and, thus, larger ice crystals (Hartel 1996).

The table above shows the level of acceptability of the chilli ice cream for treatment In
terms of appearance, flavour, aroma , and general acceptability.
The table further shows that treatment I gartered highest posted mean of 8.66 with verbal
description of like extremely. This means that T1 mixture is good because the quality of chilli
is lower than the cream and condused that are equally measured of equivalent for cups to
compliment the taste of the ice cream.
However , it was also noted that T1 got a lowest score in flavor and the general acceptability
with the mean of 8 and has a verbal description of like verymuch. This emplies that the
controlled ingredient must be in an accurate measurement. Or it depends the independent
flavour that used. Overall it totals a 8.40 that has verbal description like very much.
TABLE 4.2 LEVEL OF ACCEPTABILITY OF THE CHILLI ICECREAM FOR T2

The table above shows the level of acceptability of chilli icecream for T2 in terms of
appearance, flavour, aroma, texture and general acceptability.
The table further shows that T2 garnered highest in texture, and has a verbal description of
like extremely. This means that cream and undered compliments to the measurement of
chilli that mixed together and the results after chilling.
However, it was also noted that T2 got the lowest in flavour,aroma,and general
acceptability. This emplies that the sweetness was not compliment to other independent
variable. And is total for 8.20 and has a verbal description like very much.
TABLE 4.3 LEVEL OF THE CHILLI ICECREAM FOR T3
The table above shows the level of acceptability of chilli icecream for T3 in terms of
appearance, aroma, flavour, texture, and general acceptability.
The table further shows that T3 garnered a highest in appearance which posted mean of 9
with verbal description of like extremely. This means that accurate measurements of cream
and milk is compliment the hotness of chilli that could fit the sweetness in just an eye
appeal of the way looking the appearance for T3.
However, it was also noted that T3 got the lowest in flavour and has verbal description of
like very much. This emplies that the flavour of ice-cream is more increasing the way
substituents the independent ingredients.
TABLE 4.4 LEVEL OF THE CHILLI ICECREAM FOT T4
