with 3% (CBBG3) or 5% (CBBG5) of acetic acid. Gelatins were analyzed for their proximate composition, color,
Chocolate custard gel strength, textural profile (TPA) and amino acids composition (HPLC). Among the two gelatins, CBGG3 dis­
played the best gel strength (204.91 ± 0.00 bloom), textural parameters such as hardness, adhesiveness, and
gumminess and thus it was used as gelling agents at doses of 3.5, 4.5, and 5% to substitute carrageenan in
chocolate custard preparation. Sensory evaluation by panelists revealed their preference for the chocolate cus­
tard prepared with CBBG3 at 4.5%, over the commercial carrageenan-based-one. Gelatin extracted from chicken
by-products blended with 3% acetic acid represents a potential alternative to the expensive carrageenan additive
in custard preparation and probably other food products.
