Details
This project develops an instant coconut milk ice cream powder enriched with dietary fiber and insect protein. It offers a sustainable, healthy, and lactose-free dessert alternative that is easy to store, transport, and prepare.
This research project focuses on developing an "instant coconut milk ice cream powder" enriched with dietary fiber and insect protein powder — a concept rooted in creating an alternative dessert product in powdered ice cream form with key strengths in health, nutritional value, and sustainability.
- Plant-based Base: Uses coconut milk instead of cow's milk, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance.
- Nutritional Enhancement: Enriched with inulin dietary fiber to support digestive health and blood sugar control, alongside high-quality insect protein.
- Practicality: The powdered format is convenient to transport and store. It is reconstituted by adding water, blending, and freezing.
- Versatility: Can serve as a base for various flavors or as an ingredient in other desserts and beverages.
- Sustainability: Developed with low fat and sugar content, utilizing clean, safe, and environmentally friendly domestic raw materials.
Objective
To determine the optimal levels of dietary fiber and insect powder, and to study the production process for the enriched instant coconut milk ice cream.
- To study the appropriate amount of dietary fiber for use in coconut milk ice cream products.
- To study the appropriate amount of insect powder for use in coconut milk ice cream products.
- To study the production process of instant coconut milk ice cream powder enriched with dietary fiber and insect powder.
