摘要

The study investigates the advantages of incorporating carob pod nanoparticles (CPNs) into frozen yogurt production. CPNs, abundant in carbohydrates, polyphenols, and antioxidants, were utilized as a multifunctional ingredient, serving as a sugar substitute, thickening agent, stabilizer, and natural colorant to enhance the manufacturing process of frozen yogurt. The research compared a control group (Ctrl) containing 15% sucrose in plain frozen yogurt with three groups where CPNs partially replaced sucrose at concentrations of 4% (FYC4), 8% (FYC8), and 12% (FYC12). Over a 45-day storage period, the chemical properties remained stable across all groups, with no significant differences observed (p < 0.05). Notably, the CPN-enriched frozen yogurts exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity and antioxidant capacity, which improved the product’s physical microstructure and sensory attributes. The findings suggest that CPNs are a promising functional ingredient and food additive, offering the potential for the development of innovative, health-promoting frozen yogurt products.
