This study investigates the potential use of peanut oil bodies as a fat replacer in ice cream. We explored the effects of different treatments, fresh (FOB), heated (HOB), and roasted (ROB) peanut oil bodies on ice cream preparation. Heat treatment altered the intrinsic protein profile on the oil bodies' surface, subsequently influencing the ice cream's properties. Notably, heat treatment increases the oil bodies' size and the absolute value of ζ-potential. The rheological analysis provided information about void volumes, indicating easier air incorporation during whipping for ROB (72 to 300 nm) than FOB (107 to 55 nm). ROB ice cream displays a high overrun and a lower melting rate compared to FOB ice cream. Moreover, thermal treatment reduces the beany flavors, n-hexanal, and 2-pentenylfuran. Overall, this study reveals peanut oil bodies as a promising platform for rational design of fat-substituted plant-based ice creams.
