Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing value-added kulfi (Frozen Dessert) incorporating date syrup (DS) and orange peel powder (OPP). The process comprises preparing orange peel powder by blanching, sugar syrup treatment, drying, grinding and sieving, and preparing date syrup by aqueous extraction, filtration and concentration. Milk is standardized, mixed with the formulation ingredients, concentrated, cooled, aged, frozen and hardened. Response surface methodology identified an optimized formulation containing approximately 17% date syrup and 3% orange peel powder, with a desirability value of 0.883. The developed kulfi exhibited an overall sensory acceptability score of 7.8, crude fibre content of 0.55% and antioxidant activity of 78.55%, as reported in the underlying research. The process provides a potential approach for developing a value-added frozen dairy dessert while utilizing orange peel as a fruit-processing by-product. The invention is applicable to dairy and frozen dessert processing, subject to process validation and appropriate product quality and safety controls.
