ABSTRACT 

Local food gums have been known and used by man. They are used in boris br a wide variety ob reasons, their under lying Function is simply to thicken or gel water. For this reason, they are brequenil y elassi fled as thickeners and geiling agents (I meson, 1 992). When 100(1 runis are (15cc! to thicken or impact viscosity to the aqueous phase in Ihod systems, they provide texturc, body and mouth feel. Ice cream IS a frozen, aerated cinu 151011 in wlueh at. globules are (I spensed in a partially frozen, eoiìt i lUOUs aqueous jase containing air bubbles, protei is, stahi I iiers, emulsi flers, sugars and salt (Eerger, 1 976). This structure is obtained by bormulation oF an oil-in-water emulsion during homogenization and the subsequent partial destabilization oF that emulsion (luring Freezing.
