 ABSTRACT

Chilli ice cream was prepared in an “ice and salt” type hand freezer using chilli at 4, 6 and 8
% levels of ice cream mix and compared with control made using vanilla flavouring. The
basic ice cream mix had 12% fat, 11% MSNF, 15% sucrose, 0.25% sodium alginate and 0.15%
glycerol mono-stearate. Addition of chilli resulted in decrease in all the compositional
attributes (fat, protein, sugars and total solids) and pH and an increase in acidity, which was
significant especially at higher levels of shred addition. The chilli tended to increase the
viscosity of ice cream mixes and melting resistance of ice cream significantly, especially at
higher levels of its addition. The shreds had an adverse effect on overrun in ice cream. Ice
cream containing 4% chilliwas found suitable for preparing ‘Chilli ice cream’; it had an edge
over control with regard to sensory perception. The body and texture score of such ice
cream increased significantly up to 6% addition, beyond which the score tended to
decrease.
Keywords: Chilli, Overrun, Melting resistance, Flavouring, Viscosity, Whipping ability.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

This work would not be possible without the guidance of our Almighty God who
always gives us knowledge and wisdom. We are especially indebted to our family who
support our financial needs throughout the creation of this study and the never ending
support in our emotional breakdowns.
I would especially like to thank our subject teacher, Sir Benjiever D. Catalbas, for his
guidance, patience, and constructive ideas that shaped this study. It is with his supervision
that make this work come into its existence.
To our beloved friends who always makes us laugh in times when we can no longer
take the pressure in school and in making this study.
I would like to extend our gratitude to our school, Sta. Cruz National High School,
and also to our classmates whom we have had the pleasure to work with during this study.

May the Almighty God bless all of you.
