Importance of Research• Increasing Obesity Rate in America• Decrease Saturated Fat Intake• Decreased Calorie Intake• Increased Fiber• Increased Nutrient Density• It contains fiber, potassium, and vitamins C,K, folate, and B6.
Half an avocado has 160 calories, 15 grams of heart-healthy unsaturated fat, and only 2 grams saturated fat. One globe contains more than one-third daily value of vitamin C, and more than half the day’s requirements of vitamin K.

Fats• Saturated fat – derived from animal sources, solid at room temperature, found in butter, meat and dairy• According to the American Heart Association to reduce
CVD (Cardiovascular disease), saturated fat intake should be limited to 7%
• Mono and polyunsaturated fats – derived from plants and are monounsaturated containing heart-healthy fats such as omega and omega 6 fatty acids
• Monounsaturated- high consumption of this fat has shown to improve cholesterol and lipid levels and decrease blood pressure
![Page 8: Food 230 Research Project](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816195550346895dd13ad7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Benefits of Reducing Saturated Fat in the Diet• American Heart Association considers mono and poly unsaturated fats to be “Heart-Healthy Fats”
• Studies have shown that replacing all fat with refined carbs and sugar increases risk of heart disease, it is becoming widely known that replacing bad fats with good fats is a healthier option
• A recent survey showed only 9% of 1000 people believed that reducing ALL fats is a healthier option
• According to Lichenstein - “The emphasis should be on displacing saturated fat & trans fat with unsaturated food.”

Our Plan and Purpose• The purpose of this experiment was to create a healthier frozen dessert by replacing the heavy cream by avocado puree
• Avocado puree was chosen as the fat replacement because it contains a form of fat which keeps the consistency of ice cream
• Avocados also contain monounsaturated fat, which is a healthier fat compared to saturated fat
• The independent variables were the amounts of each ingredient and the dependent variables were the characteristics we tested for such as taste, color, melting point, texture and flavor.

Hypothesis•By proportionally replacing the heavy
cream in Ice Cream with avocado puree we will create 4 different
samples and that the acceptability rate will not exceed 50% avocado puree
and 50% heavy cream

Assessment• We utilized a Likert scale consisting of 6 questions with a scale
of 1 -5 to assess the quality of the products. Surveys were completed by 26 individuals that sampled our product
• Q1: The taste (mouth feeling) is acceptable…………1 2 3 4 5• Q2: The texture is acceptable…………………………1 2 3 4 5• Q3: The color is acceptable …………………………...1 2 3 4 5• Q4: The flavor (mouth feeling + smelling)…………….1 2 3 4 5• Q5: The melting point…………………………………………..1 2 3 4 5• Q6: The overall quality is acceptable………………….1 2 3 4 5

Limitations of Research• Experimental integrity• No addition of flavor
-Citrus, chocolate, strawberry, raspberry, almonds (texture)• Varied Melting rate
-75% had a higher melting point-Control had lowest melting point
• Restriction of sample population-Dishonesty-Personal taste-Limited population (not representative of entire
population)
