Pandan in Gelato: An Exotic Hit or a Green Failure?
Dreaming of exotic gelato made from pandan leaves? This article is a ready-made recipe for success! It reveals which concentration of pandan extract creates a gelato masterpiece with the perfect flavor, and when it starts to backfire, killing the profit-critical overrun. This is priceless knowledge on how to introduce new flavors without risk.
The search for new, exotic flavors is in the DNA of an artisan gelato shop. What if I told you that the "green gold of Asia," pandan, could be your next bestseller? This article is a precise guide on how to do it right. It's a fascinating journey that shows that adding a new ingredient isn't guesswork, but pure science.
Scientists decided to test how a gelato mix would behave after adding different amounts of pandan extract. They created five variants to find the one, perfect formula. The results? A true revolution in the tub! It turned out that the gelato with a 10% addition of extract outclassed the competition in the sensory evaluation. It received the highest scores for flavor, aroma, color, and most importantly, the perfect gelato texture.
But beware, there is another side to the coin. The study ruthlessly exposes the trade-offs every gelato maker faces. The more pandan, the lower the profitability-critical gelato overrun. On the other hand, this gelato had a much slower melting rate, which means better gelato quality in the display case and longer enjoyment for the customer. It's the classic dilemma: better stability at the cost of volume.
