India has a rich diversity of ethnomedicinal plants that are an inseparable part of our natural wealth which plays an important role in manufacturing traditional as well as modern medicines and also act as important therapeutic agents. Ever increasing death rate in cancer patients has led to this innovative investigation using Annona muricata, commonly known as Graviola or Soursop possesses anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory properties, helps in lowering blood sugar level and blood pressure, mainly serves as an anti-cancerous fruit. The variously flavoured value added Graviola ice-creams were prepared using natural preservatives, sugar substitutes without addition of stabilizing agents and artificial colours using cow’s skimmed milk and plant-based source soy milk. The comparative analysis of various parameters for these ice-creams prepared using cow’s skimmed milk and soy milk, beneficial for vegans and lactose in-tolerant people has been investigated. Graviola ice creams prepared using soy milk were found to have comparatively higher amounts of proteins, carbohydrates and energy. Sensory evaluation of 1000 persons for Graviola soy milk-based ice creams proved to have more overall acceptability in terms of essential parameters as compared to the Graviola ice creams prepared using skimmed milk. The Graviola ice-creams would help increase immunity, prevent liver diseases and proves to be an excellent cancer preventive as well as an enjoyable dessert by all age groups.
