Development of Pepper Flavored Frozen Yogurt

Abstract

The frozen yogurt is an option of frozen dessert and flavoring it with pepper becomes an alternative of new food product. The objective of this work was to elaborate frozen flavored yogurt with pepper and verify its sensorial acceptability. Two jellies were made, one with chili pepper and the other with finger pepper. Four frozen yogurt formulations were developed: F1 (formulation with 58% chili pepper), F2 (formulation with 24% chili pepper), F3 (formulation with 58% chili pepper finger- and F4 (formulation with 24% jelly pepper). The formulations were submitted to sensory acceptability analysis, preferred sample and acceptance index. The formulations with lower percentage of pepper jelly had better sensory acceptability and the sample with 24% of chilli pepper had more than 80% acceptance for the evaluated attributes.
