AB  - This study was conducted to process frozen yoghurt (FY) from camel milk (CM) flavored with either 5% or 8% banana (B) or dates (D). The mix of FY consists of stirred yoghurt, sugar, Gum Arabic, and banana (Musa lutea) or dates (Phoenix dactylifera). The mix was divided into 4 portions and then each mix was sub-derived into an ice-cream machine and then packed into plastic cups that were stored at -18°C for 5 weeks. The chemical composition and sensory evaluation were conducted weekly. The chemical composition of FY showed non-significant differences among the samples. The data revealed a higher mean total solids content in 8% banana frozen camel milk yoghurt (BFCMY), while the 5% banana samples had higher protein values. The acidity and ash content were high in 5% flavored BFCMY and DFCMY samples. The effect of storage period showed highly significant (P < 0.001) variations for protein, ash, and acidity, while there was no significant difference for total solids (P > 0.05). The sensory evaluation revealed significant (P < 0.05) differences for all flavored FCMY samples except color score. The highest mean color score was found in 5% BFCMY, and the lowest was observed in 8% DFCMY. The results showed that 5% and 8% DFCMY had significantly higher (P < 0.05) scores for flavor, texture, and overall acceptability. The effect of storage period showed highly significant variations for the scores for flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability, while there was no significant difference in the color score. It was concluded that FCMY with either 5% or 8% date and banana fruits yields products with good properties. This study recommends processing BFCMY and DFCMY as functional foods.
