Abstract

This study is attempted to prepare an ice-cream with a unique combination of saffron and some other traditional items like date and pistachio in order to bring out an exceptional flavor, taste and aroma. This is an innovative idea for frozen dessert item in Bangladesh. In this frozen dessert I have utilized distinctive flavor of saffron enhance and upgraded its taste and supplemented esteem utilization of date molasses and khoya powder. Saffron, the dried marks of disgrace of Crocus sativus L., is broadly utilized basically as natural medication or nourishment shading, and as a seasoning specialist. It is developed uniquely in a couple of nations around the globe. In this study, using a flavor of Saffron, which is not as common in Ice-cream available in the market. In our country we have many types of flavored ice-cream. Proximate analysis of the product has also accomplished. Results show standard dene-cream (1.089 pa) and degree of brix 38. Viscosity is found 294 with total fat 12% only and 62% moisture. However, ice-cream with Saffron is not yet marketed by any company in Bangladesh. It is anticipated that Dhaka icecream industries with a brand name “POLAR” would be the pioneer in marketing Saffron flavored Ice-cream. Saffron is very costly and consequently Zafran Malai Ice-cream price would be a little higher and would be promoted as a premium variety. In my study I have received a very positive and favorable sensory evaluation. It is assumed that the product will hit the market with very positive feedback after penetration in the market.
