The aim of this work is to study the effect of hydrocolloids; guar gum (GG), xanthan gum (XG) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on the physicochemical properties, microbiological quality and sensory properties in order to investigate the potential of applying fermented cassava (tapai ubi) in ice cream. Fermented cassava ice cream (FCI) incorporated with the three types of hydrocolloid was prepared and the protein content, pH value, overrun, colour, hardness, microstructure, FTIR spectrum and sensory acceptance of all samples were determined. Fermented cassava ice cream incorporated with XG showed the highest protein content (14.88%), pH value (pH 6.07), and overrun value (4.27%) as compared to the fermented cassava ice cream incorporated with GG and CMC. Meanwhile, ice cream incorporated with GG possessed the highest L* (94.43) and hardness (3693.15 g) value as compared to XG and CMC. The microstructure study showed that the difference in uniformity at the interface obtained with different types of the hydrocolloids added demonstrated the effect of fat absorption at the air interfaces. The FTIR spectrum investigated indicated that the addition of the fermented cassava to FCI had increased the OH group in the ice cream as compared to the control. All samples were microbial safe as the total plate counts in all samples were below the standard as prescribed in Food Act 1983 with no presence of E. coli. In conclusion, fermented cassava ice cream with XG showed the good quality in terms of its pH value, overrun, total plate count and overall acceptability.
