The present research aims to include the native Peruvian fruits in the design of drinks with low caloric content. For this purpose, four types of mixed nectares are proposed: A (Pineapple, Camu-camu, Apple and extract of purple Maize), B (Manzana, Sanky and Camu-camu), C (Maracuyá, Mango and Aguaymanto) and D Pineapple and Camu-camu), with a sucrose substitution factor by Stevia of 50%, obtained by a relative intensity of sweetness test. For the selection of the nectar types, a preference classification test was used with 120 panels composed of 18-21 year old students and the data were analyzed with theFriedman test and the Kramer test (α = 0.05), where Obtained formulation A, consisting of 27.9% pulp mixture, 10% corn extract, 57.6% water, 4.06% sugar, 0.19% acidulant, 0.05% Antioxidant, 0.12% stabilizer and 0.05% Stevia powder, as the most preferred nectar. To evaluate its quality, the proximal chemical, physicochemical, microbiological, sensorial acceptability tests were tested using a hedonic scale of 9 points, and its useful life through accelerated tests, using the quality parameters as an indicator of deterioration. From the quality tests, a pH of 3.37 ± 0.08, Brix 6.53 ± 0.30, acidity 0.2868 ± 0.0061, density 1.035 ± 0.006, fats 0.4%, carbohydrates 8.8%, proteins 0.4%, fiber 0.4%, vitamin C 57.4 Mg / 100 g and no caloric content of 40.4 Kcal / 100 g. For a greater acceptability of the drinks it is established that the percentages of incorporation of the fruits are equal to or less than 7.40% in camu-camu, 20.14% in aguaymanto, and 16.67% in sanky, the options may vary depending on the fruits that accompany The formulation. Also, the presence of stevia as a substitute for sucrose by 50% did not give a significant difference in sweetness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
