Technology and characteristics of plant-based milk substitutes

The results of research on the development of technology and formulations, quality assessment of plant milk substitutes based on the kernels of nuts (almonds, pistachios, cedar) and soybeans are presented. It is established that the applied heating in the microwave field allows to increase the extraction of dry substances from the solution with the preservation of biologically active substances. It is shown that the developed milk substitutes have attractive organoleptic characteristics and increased biological value (in terms of protein and vitamin C). The shelf life of pasteurized beverages is set at 15 days without a significant decrease in the content of vitamin C and deterioration of organoleptic parameters. It is noted that the developed products can be used as milk substitutes, as an independent drink, as well as in the preparation of various dishes. It is shown that the production of milk substitutes based on nuts and soybeans as a segment of lactose free products Free From maximally meets the provisions of the national technological initiative "NTI-2035" as an element of the Food Net concept in the direction of personalized nutrition.
