Nuts-Based Non-Alcoholic Drinks For A Healthy Diet

Abstract

Given a prevalence in the world of people with a reduced ability to digest lactose, a new segment of the non-alcoholic drinks market is gaining more and more turnover -vegetable milk substitutes. Considering the existing demand for milk replacers, we have developed a series of non-alcoholic drinks, made up their recipes and evaluated their quality indicators. It was decided to take nuts as the basis for the drinks, and honey, lecithin, spirulina as the enriching raw materials. Walnut and Manchurian nut have an original chemical composition and useful properties, and there are no drinks based on them on the Russian market. To improve the organoleptic indicators, biological and physiological value, flower honey, sunflower lecithin and spirulina powder were introduced into the drinks recipes. Studies of the chemical composition and properties of drinks have shown a high nutritional and physiological value in terms of protein and mineral content. According to the results of the tasting, the developed drinks based on Manchurian walnut with honey and Manchurian walnut with honey and spirulina received the highest scoring, and drinks based on walnuts and Manchurian nuts with honey and spirulina turned out to be the richest in protein. The developed drinks are recommended as a source of protein to a wide range of consumers.
