AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Plant-based ice cream lacks emulsification stability and shape retention, leading to inferior quality and sensory characteristics compared to animal-based ice cream, and there is a need to address environmental pollution from surplus agricultural by-products.

Method used

A plant-based ice cream composition utilizing rice bran extract powder as a natural emulsifier, combined with sugars, nut paste, gum enhancers, and salt, along with a production method involving homogenization and aging, to enhance emulsification and structural stability.

Benefits of technology

The rice bran extract powder provides excellent emulsifying and deemulsifying properties, improving the sensory properties and heat resistance of plant-based ice cream, comparable to synthetic emulsifiers, while upcycling rice bran into high-value materials.

Abstract

To provide: a composition to which a material is applied which is a plant-derived emulsification stabilizer not only obtained by upcycling a plant-derived raw material discarded as a residual product, meaningful as a sustainable circulating resource, but also excellent in emulsifying capability and emulsification stability and which can cause emulsification and demulsification of ice cream, etc. affecting its quality; and a production method thereof.SOLUTION: A plant-derived ice cream mix composition includes a saccharide, a nut paste, a gum enhancer, rice bran extraction powder as a natural emulsifier, salt, and the balance of water.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
