Efecto de la inclusión de harina de pulpa de plátano no comercial (Mussa acuminata) y harina de residuos de brócoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica) en el desarrollo de un yogur entero

Abstract

The food industry has faced the challenge of developing healthier products without the incorporation of chemical agents that harm the health of consumers. The development of dairy products with improved and sustainable nutritional characteristics is a group of interest due to the massive consumption of this type of product. In this study, the use of non-commercial banana pulp meals and broccoli waste meals in the production of whole yogurt was evaluated. For the research, two formulations were developed which were composed of non-commercial banana flour and broccoli residue flour, the first formulation was composed of a 50-50 proportion and the second formulation 25-75. The yogurt was evaluated for proximal composition, physical-chemical, texture, sensory parameters and stability during 30 days of storage. The results showed that yogurt with non-commercial broccoli and banana flour is a solution for fiber consumption and is a sustainable option in the short and long term due to its sustainability with the use and consumption of the flour. The formulations still maintain good sensory properties and yogurt stability, indicating that non-conventional flours are possible alternatives to innovate in nutritious and sustainable dairy products.
