“…Furcellaran is a type of carrageenan that can be used as a stabilizing, thickening, and gelling agent in food (Thomas, 1997) without any side effects (Bender, 2005). The structure of furcellaran has been studied (Laos and Ring, 2005;Tuvikene et al, 2010) along with its gelling and sorption properties (Pritchkina and Chalykh, 1994;Michel et al, 1997;Truus et al, 1997;Laos et al, 2007b;Tuvikene et al, 2008) and interactions with different substances (Hughert and Sundelof, 2001;Laos et al, 2006Laos et al, , 2007a. However, there are no detailed accounts of either the effectiveness of furcellaran as a secondary ice cream stabilizer during storage or its impact on both the rheological and sensorial properties of ice cream.…”
