Determining The Acceptability And Nutrient Content Of Ice-Cream Made From Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) And Tigernut (Cyperus Esculentus) Milk
ABSTRACT
Tigernut (Cyperus esculentus) and coconut
(Cocos nucifera) are nuts found in Southern and Eastern Nigeria. The edible
parts of the nuts are used in production of milk which is used in preparing
ice-cream as a dessert. The nuts was ground and the milk extracted which was
used in preparing ice-cream, which was analyzed using experimental design. A
standard of 1-9 point hedonic scale was used with options indicating extremely
disliked, extremely liked etc. The attributes evaluated includes colour, taste,
texture, f1avour, and general acceptability. Means of sensory rating• of the
different ice-cream samples were calculated and computed using analysis of
variance (ANOVA test). Means were separated using the parameters measured and
the significance judged at P > 0.05. The result of the nutrient composition
show that the ice-cream made from coconut was higher in protein (20.36±0.18),
fat (12.69±0.40), moderate in solid non-fat (27.99±0.53), total solid
(40.68±0.29) and low in specific gravity (1.06±0.01) and tiratable acid
(0.29±0.21), total solid (33.64±0.04), solid non fat (24.53±0.01), finally the
blend of coconut and tigernut ice-creams were shown to be high in total solid
(42.41±0.41), solid non fat (34.87±0.29) protein (13.99±0.11), fat (7. 54±0.27)
specific gravity (4.42±5. 73) and low in titratble acid of (6 37 ± 0.01). The
result also showed that the plant milk ice-cream contained appreciable amount
of nutrients. Coconut and tigernut icecream have been recommended as a good
substitute for cow milk ice-cream.
