Preparation of pistachio-hazelnut plant-based milk beverage
Plant-based milk beverage,a new food fad,are being challenged to improve raw material types,sensory texture,and nutritional properties.In this experiment,pistachios,hazelnuts and erythritol were used as the main raw materials to prepare a plant-based milk beverage with good taste and texture.Firstly,the sensory score was used as the evaluation index,and the ratio of pistachios,hazelnuts and erythritol was optimized through single factor experiment and orthogonal experiments.Meanwhile,the optimal dosage of carrageenan,xanthan gum and sodium alginate were explored by orthogonal experiments.The results showed that the optimal raw material dosage was:pistachio emulsion 50%,hazelnut emulsion 20%,erythritol 5%.The optimal amount of stabilizer was:carrageenan 0.02%,xanthan gum 0.18%,sodium alginate 0.02%.Under these conditions,a pistachio-hazelnut plant-based milk beverage with a uniform texture and sweet taste was obtained.
