“…Condensed milk made from almond milk offers avegan and lactose-free alternative to traditional dairy condensed milk. It retains the creamy texture and sweet flavor characteristic of condensed milk while being entirely plant-based [7][8][9]. This alternative is ideal for those following a vegan diet or with lactose intolerance, providing a versatile ingredient for a variety of desserts,beverages, and recipeswith its rich consistency and nutritional benefits, almond milk condensed milk opens up new possibilities for enjoying classic treats without compromising dietary preferences or restrictions [10][11].…”

Almond milk rich in Magnesium and rich in antioxidant vitamin E, from almond milk prepared the condensed milk. This study proposes a novel method of producing sweetened condensed milk, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional dairy – based condensed milk. This process involves concentrating almond milk by removing excess water and natural sweeteners to achieve the desired sweeteners and viscosity characteristics of condensed milk. Various techniques such as evaporation, vacuum concentration, and ultra filtration can be employed to be achieving the desired concentration level while preserving the nutritional qualities and flavor profile of almond milk. This innovation addresses the growing need for diary-free alternatives in the food industry and offers consumers healthier, cruelty-free options without compromising taste or texture. Nutrionally, Almond milk is lower in calories compared to cow or buffalo milk High in unsaturated fats like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats fortified with vitamins and minerals, dairy- free and lactose -free and it is also suitable for vegans. It also contains source of vitamin E, low in saturated fat and cholesterol and contains protein. The developed and finalized product will be evaluated for physio-chemical, textural, functional and sensory attributes.

The Mandorla di Avola is recognized all over the world as one of the best almond varieties. It is cultivated in a small area inside the provinces of Siracusa and Ragusa (Sicily, southern Italy). It is used in traditional Sicilian cuisine for both salty and sweet foods and of course in artisan pastry, apart from being consumed as a fruit. Due to its extraordinary organoleptic and beneficial features, the Mandorla di Avola is frequently counterfeit with almond varieties of lower quality coming from other countries. While its nutraceutical features have been studied, the possibility of authenticating it with respect to other varieties has not been explored. In this work, we used microelements determined with ICP-OES and ICP-MS as chemical descriptors to distinguish samples of Mandorla di Avola almonds from almonds coming from California and Spain, which are usually employed as substitutes in pastry. Among the different elements determined, Mn and P were found to be the best descriptors for authentication.
