Utilization of a by-product from carrot

India produces a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Among vegetables, carrot (Daucus carota L). is an important vegetable not only for kitchen preparation but also for its carotene content and other medicinal values. The presence of high concentration of antioxidant carotenoids may account for the biological and medicinal properties of carrots. The carrot is rich in alkaline elements also which purify and revitalize the blood. Among the carrot products, juice seems to gain popularity in west as much of the work on carrot is in juice form only. Considering the carotene and natural fibre content,the left over pomace of carrot after juice extraction in powder form (i.e. CPP-Carrot pomace powder) is utilized in soft served ice cream. Skim milk powder (SMP) (10.39–13.21%) and CPP (0.09–2.91%) were kept variable, the experimental trials were designed using Response Surface Methodology for two variables. The samples were tested for chemical, sensory and kinesthetic attributes as response. A linear effect of CPP incorporation was seen. Except hardness other kinesthetic attributes were agreeable to the control. As a final outcome 0.5% CPP was found good for overall acceptability.
