In this study was investigated the effect of raw material and the production process on the physicochemical composition and color of confectionery mousses. For this approach, two different mousses’ production procedures were used and the chemical composition (fat, moisture, protein content and soluble substances concentration), physical parameters (overrun, density, specific volume), and color were determined. The dairy cream mousse samples (M1 and M3) presented a higher fat content (33.68% and 30.57%), while the protein content varied from 0.9% to 3.42%, being influenced by the raw materials used in the production process. Color measurements indicated that the mousses based on vegetable cream were whiter with a brightness (L*) ranging between 90.04 – 94.25 and a higher whiteness index. The results of one factor analysis of variance — ANOVA showed that the color difference between mousse samples is statistically significant (p<0.001).
