RESUMO
Ice cream is a highly complex food matrix, containing proteins, fat, sugars, air, minerals, etc. and countless interfaces between the different constituents. The ice cream per capita consumption in Brazil is 3,5 liters/year, lower than a quarter of the volume consumed in Nordic countries, as Finland, Denmark and Norway, where it is about 20 liters/year, demonstrating that it is possible for the Brazilian ice cream industry to grow. The objective of this study is to carry out acceptation analysis, quantitative-descriptive analysis, time-intensity analysis, physicalchemical analysis in traditional vanilla ice creams and light vanilla ice creams commercialized in Campinas, São Paulo. The quantitative descriptive analysis, time-intensity analysis and acceptance test data were evaluated by the analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey?s Test and the principal component analysis. The results were statistically analyzed based on the statistical program SAS. The Internal Preference Map was based on XLStat program. The Quantitative Descriptive Analysis method distinguished the brand through attributes as yellow color, shininess, white chocolate aroma, hydrogenated fat, white chocolate flavour and hydrogenated fat taste. Time-intensity analysis revealed a bitter taste in a traditional sample and residual bitter taste in light samples, sweet residual taste in the consumer´s favorite light sample and a bigger butterfat intensity taste on the most accepted samples. Consumer´s most accepted ice creams samples were those that presented an intense yellow color, aroma and taste of sweet, aroma and taste of white chocolate and spreadability. Consumer´s most rejected samples were ice creams with a higher degree of bitter residual and lower degree of aroma and taste of sweet. To conclude, the development of the descriptive sensorial profile and the data of the acceptation test obtained on the light and traditional vanilla ice creams evaluation commercialized may aid the national ice cream industry to adopt new proceedings for quality improvement and would delineate new publicity strategies
