Ice cream is a dairy product with relatively higher fat and sugar content. In this work the simultaneously reduction of both butyric fat and sugar content in ice cream formulation via a response surface methodology was investigated. A rotatable central composite design (15 runs plus 5 central point replications) with different butyric fat, sugar and inulin content was employed to study the effect on overrun, viscosity, melting and textural properties of ice cream. Higher apparent viscosity resulted in a more stable system with higher overrun, where inulin controlled available water. The improvement in melting properties reflected the stable state of the air bubbles-emulsified fat-ice crystals matrix, where the putative effect of inulin to retain water compensating solids and fat reduction, retarded ice crystals melting. In instrumental texture, inulin retained free water when butyric fat and sugar were reduced, resulting in smaller ice crystals reflecting a softer texture. At the experimental conditions proposed, inulin (3%) as functional ingredient (soluble fiber and prebiotic) can be employed to reduce 30% butyric fat content and 12% sugar content, in the formulation of low-fat reduced-sugar ice cream.
