Polyfunctional properties of oat β-glucan in the composition of milk-vegetable ice cream

Abstract

Ice cream is a structured multicomponent food product that is also an emulsion, foam and suspension. High-calorie ice cream with a fat content of at least 10–12% is stably in high demand due to its rich creamy taste, creamy consistency, and high resistance to melting. On the one hand, low-fat ice cream is of increasing interest to consumers as a new trend among low-calorie foods. On the other hand, the low content of fat (≤ 3%) and dry matter (≤ 30%) in ice cream has a negative effect on its quality.
