Development of a novel non-fermented drink based on goat whey with the addition of fruits pulp
Goat whey; strawberry pulp, soursop pulp; cocoa pulp; sensory evaluation; CATA.
This study was aimed to produce a new non-fermented beverage based on goat whey-based with the fruit pulp addition. Four formulations were developed: without fruit pulp addition (BWP), with strawberry pulp (BST), with soursop pulp (BSO), and with cocoa pulp (BCO), were analyzed. The formulations were evaluated for aerobic microorganism count (mesophiles) and pH during storage time (0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 days) and also for sensory acceptance (appearance, odor, color, flavor, viscosity and overall impression), purchase intention and Check-All-Apply (CATA). The fruit pulp addition decreased the pH of the drinks (BST, BSO and BCO) when compared to BWP. Fruit pulps addition also shows an increase in overall acceptance of the drinks (BST, BSO and BCO). Thus, fruit pulp could be used to produce goat whey-based beverages. However, further studies should be performed to improve and increase the acceptance of new products.
