Minerals composition, physicochemical properties and sensory evaluation of ice-cream formulated with gac, avocado and coconut fruit

Abstract Ice cream is a popular frozen dessert favoured due to its flavour variety and creamy texture. However, this frozen dessert may contain lack of nutritional composition essential for health. Thus, this research is conducted to determine the minerals composition, physicochemical and sensorial properties of ice cream incorporated with three fruits namely gac fruit ( Momordica cochinchinensis spreng), avocado ( Persea americana ) and coconut ( Cocos nucifera L.). Each fruit was washed, chopp
