AI Technical Summary
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.
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.
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.
