ABSTRACT
Food gum was extracted from Afzelia
africana seed and the potentials of this gum in ice cream and candy making
compared to guar acacia (conventional) were studied. Ice cream and candy
samples with and without food gums were produced. The proximate composition and
functional properties of Afzelia Africana flour and its gum and guar acacia as
well as the ice cream and candy samples were determined. The proximate
composition of the candy samples were significantly different with guar acacia
candy having higher values in protein, but are identical in colour but were
acceptable in taste, crispness, chewiness, texture and general acceptability.
Ice cream samples containing Afzelia gum have little colour change but ice
cream made from Guar acacia powder and without a stabilizer were identical in
colour but were acceptable in taste, (crispness, chewness, texture and general
acceptability. Also in candy samples from Afzelia gum, Guar acacia powder and
candy without stabilizer are all identical in terms of texture chewness,
colours, taste, appearance and general acceptability.
