Nutritional and Organoleptic Properties of Oat Milk Dessert Enriched with Paneer and Standardized Milk

Abstract

Background: Dessert with good nutritional value could play an important role in the physical and mental growth and development of infants, children and teenagers as well as great tasty food choice of adult and ageing. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the nutritional and organoleptic quality of oat milk dessert. Nine types of dessert prepared from an admixture of oat milk and standardized milk having different ratio of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 indicate as TO1, TO2 and TO3, respectively and three different levels of paneer i.e. 5% 10% and 15% indicated as P1, P2 and P3 respectively were compared to each other. Methods: The study was executed in the Research Laboratory of Warner School of Food and Dairy Technology, SHUATS during 2012 - 2013. Dessert prepared from standardized milk with addition of 10 percent paneer which served as T0P2 (control). The experiment was replicated three times and the data was statistically analyzed by using analysis of variance ANOVA and critical difference (C.D) techniques. Dessert were determined according to the AOAC methods and their organoleptic acceptability by using 9 point Hedonic Scale. Result: Nutritional content of oat milk dessert experimental sample (TO3P3) showed that protein (9.23%), carbohydrate (28.55%), ash (2.13%) and fat (12.96%). Oat milk dessert gained acceptability in terms of sensory attributes hence was concluded to be a potential nutritious dessert for all vulnerable age group as nutrient-dense food.

A comprehensive review on oat milk: from oat nutrients and phytochemicals to its processing technologies, product features, and potential applications

“…Yadav et al found that oat milk desserts made with 15% paneer significantly enhanced the nutritional content and sensory properties of products and can be preferred as healthy natural food products for all vulnerable age groups as well as undernutrition. 114 Commercially, there are also many brands that have developed different types of oat milk desserts (Fig. 3) (https:// www.godairyfree.org).…”
