Development of Job’s-tears ice cream recipe

Abstract

Job’s tears ice cream recipe was developed by varying proportions of Job’s tears, sucrose, salt and coconut milk. Product positioning mapping was used to identify the sensory attributes that were drivers of preference, which appeared to be sweetness, smoothness, richness, and coconut milk and Job's-tears flavours of the product. Cluster analysis was used to differentiate consumers by their preference direction. Nutritional composition, antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content of the final product were also determined.
