<br/><br/> This study aimed to develop a cheaper and healthier version of ice cream -the mellorine by incorporating different levels of squash formulation<br/>Specifically, this study aimed to determine the effects of different levels (40, 50, and 60%) of squash pulp as mango pulp substitute on the quality and acceptability of mellorine.<br/>Sensory evaluation was made by 10 laboratory panelists using the 9-point Hedonic Scale to determine the general acceptability, flavor/taste and the 5-point descriptive quality scoring to evaluate the desirability of the texture of the products.<br/>Results of the study show that the use of 50-60% squash pulp in the mellorine formulation causes a negative effect on the flavor/taste and general acceptability of the resulting product. The mellorine formulation with the lowest level (40%) of squash pulp was found to be as acceptable as the control in terms of quality and general acceptability. Their mean ratings which ranged from 8.5 to 8.9 have a descriptive equivalent of "like very much" to "like extremely". No significant difference was observed on the texture of the different formulations which ranged from moderately fine to very fine.<br/>
