This study evaluated the feasibility of incorporating curcumin‐loaded nanoemulsions (CLNE) produced by the emulsion inversion point method in pineapple ice creams to replace artificial yellow dyes. For this purpose, ice creams with formulations: A (pineapple flavour commercial mix), B (partial replacement of commercial mix by CLNE), C (complete replacement of commercial mix by CLNE) and D (complete replacement of commercial mix by nonencapsulated curcumin) were characterized. Results showed that CLNE incorporation was a feasible alternative for reducing the use of artificial dyes, as the ice creams showed similar physicochemical and rheological properties, and formulations A and B had similar sensory acceptance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
