<abstract>
<p>The present study was conducted to process and evaluate the chemical composition of ice cream made from camel milk; flavored with vanilla, baobab and papaya fruits. Camel milk, baobab and papaya were examined for chemical composition before the processing. Ice cream samples were made using one level of vanilla (3%) as control and two levels of each baobab and papaya (3% and 5%). Then ice cream samples were packed into plastic cups and stored in a freezer at -18 <sup>o</sup>C for 8 weeks. The chemical composition was examined every two weeks. The data showed significantly (P&lt;0.05) higher total solids and ash in baobab (5%) ice cream samples, while high fat content was found in vanilla (3%) and papaya (5%). Also, high protein content was found in papaya ice cream samples. It was concluded that processing of ice cream using baobab (3%) and papaya (3%) gives ice cream with good chemical properties. The study recommended processing of ice cream from camel milk adding baobab and papaya fruits. Further studies should be conducted by adding local fruits and other additives to enhance the chemical properties of ice cream from camel milk as functional food.</p>

<label>1.</label><title>Introduction</title>
<p>The camel population in Sudan was estimated at 4.8 million heads according to the Ministry of Animal Resources and Fisheries (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r29">MOARF, 2016</xref>) and this number places Sudan as the second in numbers of camel population in the world after Somalia. However, the consumption of camel milk is limited among urban settlers, because camels are mainly kept in the desert arid areas of the country (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r21">El Zubeir and Nour, 2006</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r31">Musa et al., 2006</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r38">Suliman and El Zubeir, 2014</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r19">El Zubeir, 2015</xref>). For nomadic communities in particular, camel milk represents the main source of proteins, especially during their migration (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r31">Musa et al., 2006</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r16">Dowelmadina et al., 2015</xref>).</p>
<p>The dairy products from camels are rare at the commercial scale (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r6">Al Haj and Al Kanhal, 2010</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r19">El Zubeir, 2015</xref>). However, the ice cream from camel milk was produced successfully (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r1">Abu-Lehia et al., 1989</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r2">Ahmed and El Zubeir, 2015a</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r3">b</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r7">Ali and El Zubeir, 2020</xref>).</p>
<p>Flavor compounds added to ice creams are either natural or added as flavor extracts and mixtures (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r28">Michael et al., 2005</xref>). Moreover, the utilization of natural additives in the processing of ice cream, instead of industrial chemical color and flavor additives, could be a potential health risk to consumers (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r33">Penman et al., 2006</xref>). However, the usage of gum arabic as a stabilizer and honey as sweetener for ice cream would strengthen the nutritional and health benefits of camel milk as functional food (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r3">Ahmed and El Zubeir, 2015b</xref>).</p>
<p>One of the benefits of adding fruit juice to ice cream is to reduce using commercially available flavoring and coloring agents (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r28">Michael et al., 2005</xref>). The dry baobab (<italic>Adansonia digitata</italic>) fruit pulp is a rich source of carbohydrates, calcium and potassium and vitamins including thiamine, nicotinic acid and vitamin C (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r12">Decaluwe and Van, 2010</xref>). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r7">Ali and El Zubeir (2020)</xref> concluded that adding baobab and papaya fruits (3%) for making ice cream from camel milk improves its organoleptic properties.</p>
<p>Ripe papaya fruit is used in jam, jelly, nectar, juice, frozen slices, mixed beverages, ice-cream, powder, baby food and other concentrated and candied food (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r35">Saran and Choudhary, 2013</xref>). Similarly, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r34">Roy et al. (2015)</xref> reported that the ripe papaya fruit is consumed fresh for dessert and in fruit salad or as processed. Ahmed and El Zubeir (2020) concluded that the addition of papaya pulp improved processing properties and the chemical constituents of camel milk yoghurt. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r7">Ali and El Zubeir (2020)</xref> recommended the use of papaya as additive in camel milk ice cream in order to enhance the use of natural ingredients.</p>
<p>The successful processing of ice cream from camel milk indicated the possibility of using camel milk to produce special ice cream, which will fulfill the requirements of the functional food (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r2">Ahmed and El Zubeir, 2015a</xref>). Moreover, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r2">Ahmed and El Zubeir (2015a)</xref> recommended further studies when it comes to the utilization of natural indigenous fruits for processing camel milk ice cream for their nutritional and health value and nice flavor. Hence, this study was designed to process and evaluate chemical composition of ice cream from camel milk using natural flavors of vanilla, baobab and papaya fruits.</p>

<title>Fat content</title>
<p>The fat content of camel milk ice cream revealed significant (P&lt;0.05) variation among the different flavors used (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Table 2</xref>). The highest fat content was found in vanilla and papaya (5%) ice cream (3.06% &#x00B1; 0.83 and 3.20% &#x00B1; 0.42, respectively). Also, the fat content of the different types of ice cream revealed significant (P&lt;0.05) differences during the storage period. Moreover, the highest average of fat content of ice cream samples was found in week 8 (3.58% &#x00B1; 0.44) and the lowest value (1.90% &#x00B1; 0.87) was found during day 1 and week 2 of the storage period (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t3">Table 3</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Figure 2</xref>).</p>

<title>Protein content</title>
<p>The protein content of the different ice cream flavors showed significant (P&lt;0.05) differences (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Table 2</xref>). Papaya (5%) ice cream showed the highest protein content (3.07% &#x00B1; 0.82), while vanilla and baobab (3%) flavored ice cream samples recorded the lowest content of protein (2.23 &#x00B1; 0.31 and 2.21 &#x00B1; 0.79, respectively).</p>
<p>The protein content of the different types of ice cream showed significant (P&lt;0.05) variations during the storage (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t3">Table 3</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Figure 3</xref>). The samples examined during week 8 showed the highest average (3.51% &#x00B1; 0.59), while those examined at week 6 revealed the lowest protein content in ice cream samples (1.96% &#x00B1; 0.44).</p>

<p>The present results found for camel milk composition support those found by <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r37">Shueip et al. (2008)</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r20">El Zubeir and Ibrahium (2009)</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r6">Al Haj and Al Kanhal (2010)</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r15">Dowelmadina et al. (2014)</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r23">Ibrahem and El Zubeir (2016)</xref>.</p>
<p><xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref> showed the chemical composition of baobab and papaya. This study was in line with findings mentioned for baobab (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r12">Decaluwe and Van, 2010</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r11">Ciss&#x00E9; et al., 2013</xref>). They found the DM, fat, CP, CF and ash were 88%, 0.5%, 0.3%, 25.25% and 5%, respectively. According to Magdi (2004), baobab fruit pulp contains high amount of carbohydrate (76.2%) and crude fiber (5.4%), while having low protein (8.2%) and fat (0.3%). On the other hand, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r34">Roy et al. (2015)</xref> and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r27">Matter et al. (2016)</xref> reported 12.36% DM, 0.36% fat, 0.58% protein and 0.64% ash for papaya.</p>
<p>Higher values were obtained for the total solids and ash contents in baobab (5%) ice cream samples compared to vanilla and papaya (3%) ice cream samples (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t3">Table 3</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Figure 1 and 4</xref><xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4"></xref>). This could be attributed to the high total solids and ash contents of baobab as shown in <xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>. The present result was consistent with the findings of <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r3">Ahmed and El Zubeir (2015b)</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r18">El Owni and Khater (2011)</xref>, who reported that the mean of total solids was 33.41% &#x00B1; 2.87. Also <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r30">Mohammed and El Zubeir (2019)</xref> reported the average of total solids as 34.7%. However, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r14">Donhowe et al. (1991)</xref> found lower total solids in ice cream containing larger ice crystals. Although, adequate total solids content is important for obtaining a good product with a smooth texture and firm body (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r26">Marshall and Arbuckle, 1996</xref>). The ash in the present result was consistent with the findings of <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r24">Khater and El Owni (2009)</xref>, who reported 0.64%&#x00B1;0.19 for the ash of ice cream. Similarly, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r30">Mohammed and El Zubeir (2019)</xref> found that the ash was 1.1%. This might be due to the high fiber content of baobab as shown in <xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>, which is supported by <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r11">Ciss&#x00E9; et al. (2013)</xref>.</p>
<p><xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Table 2</xref> showed a significant (P&lt;0.05) variation in the fat content of camel milk ice cream using vanilla, baobab and papaya. Moreover, papaya ice cream showed higher fat content compared to other types of ice cream (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Table 2</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Figure 2</xref>). This result is supported by <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r3">Ahmed and El Zubeir (2015b)</xref>, who found that the average of fat was 3.91%. Ice cream showed high levels of milk fat (10-16%), moreover, it is a source of high quality energy and protein (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r39">Temiz and Yesilsu, 2010</xref>). The lowest mean for fat content was reported for baobab ice cream samples. This could mainly be due to the lower fat content of baobab (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>). Similarly, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r17">Eke et al. (2013)</xref> reported low fat content for baobab fruit pulp.</p>
<p>Camel milk ice cream flavored with vanilla, baobab and papaya showed significant (P&lt;0.05) variations for protein content (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Table 2</xref>). Papaya (5%) showed the highest average of protein. This might be due to the fact that ice cream has higher quantity and quality of protein compared to milk due to baobab and papaya fruits, which are very rich in protein (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r22">Gebauer et al., 2002</xref>). Also, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r13">Dev and Iqbal (2015)</xref> reported that papaya contains high amount of protien. Moreover, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r9">Arbuckle (1966)</xref> reported that the sources of proteins in ice cream include milk and stabilizers. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r3">Ahmed and El Zubeir (2015b)</xref> found higher protein content for camel milk ice cream. High quality and quantity of protein content was reported for ice cream, which is very palatable source of milk proteins (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r9">Arbuckle, 1966</xref>), which will satisfy the situations needing urgent energy supply especially for babies, children and sportsmen (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r36">Sengul and Ertugay, 2005</xref>). On the other hand, baobab is of multipurpose, for food, beverage and medicine and the European Commission has recently authorized the import of baobab fruit pulp as a novel food as it reduces micronutrient deficiency (Buchmann et al., 2012). Moreover, due to the high protein content, low fat content and high value of metabolizeable energy, baobab fruit pulp is an excellent source of food (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r17">Eke et al., 2013</xref>).</p>

<label>5.</label><title>Conclusion</title>
<p>This study concluded that different fruits affected significantly (P&lt;0.05) the chemical composition of camel milk ice cream. The obtained values for the total solids and ash were higher for baobab (5%) ice cream samples, while the samples of vanilla and papaya (5%) ice cream were high in fat. The higher means of protein were obtained in papaya (5%) ice cream. This study recommended processing of ice cream adding baobab and papaya fruits. Further studies should be conducted by adding local fruits and other additives to enhance the chemical properties and to give good flavors ice cream utilizing camel milk.</p>
