Bebida elaborada a base de calostro liofilizado de ganado vacuno saborizado con panela y nogal.

Abstract

This research aimed to elaborate a freeze-dried colostrum beverage flavored with panela and walnut as an alternative food supplement ideal for all types of consumers. Three treatments were used, with four replicates each. For the statistical analysis process, a completely randomized design was used. It was subjected to an analysis of variance (ADEVA) and separation of means by Tukey (P< 0.05). The treatments evaluated were as follows: (T1:90% T2:80% T3:70%); panela and walnut (T1: 7-3%; T2: 14-6%; T3: 21-9%) respectively. The samples were subjected to a physical-chemical analysis (pH, acidity %, fat %, protein %, ash%, total solids% and non-fat solids%); microbiological (molds/yeasts, mesophilic aerobes, salmonella, fecal coliforms, total coliforms) and a sensory analysis of acceptability with a five-point hedonic scale. The results showed that the variables pH, acidity and non-fat solids did not present significant differences with a probability >0.05; among the three treatments. On the contrary, the percentage of fat 2.10% and total solids 14.59%, presented significant differences <0.05. The variables protein 14.23%; ash 2.26%; presented highly significant differences with a probability <0.01. The T3 (70% colostrum, 21% panela and 9% walnut) was chosen as the best treatment. As for the microbiological analyses, the three treatments showed a total absence of pathogenic microorganisms harmful to the consumer's health. The acceptability test showed that the best sensory characteristics were found in T3. The production price granted in this study was $2.76 per liter of product. It was possible to obtain a product with a high percentage of nutrients, so the inclusion of these ingredients of high nutritional value is recommended.
