This research aimed to elaborate and characterize a fermented lupine vegan drink from water kefir grains. Firstly, the standard protocols were carried out to extract and identify alkaloids in lupine. The second stage consisted of elaborating the water-soluble lupine vegetable extract (WLVE), and the effect of sucrose, inulin, and xanthan gum concen...

O consumo dos suplementos proteicos vem crescendo e as barras de proteína são preferidas devido sua conveniência, praticidade, sabor e custo acessível. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a rotulagem nutricional e determinar o teor proteico de barras de proteína disponíveis comercialmente. As amostras foram identificadas com letras para preservar...

A creative approach to reducing food waste by reusing industrial cake waste can result in the development of a worldwide favorite snack. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of industrial cake wastes—basic mini cake (BMC), filled mini cake (FMC), and traditional mini cake (TMC)—as sustainable alternatives to wheat flour in producing ring-shap...

By-products generated in the winemaking industry contain compounds with health-promoting properties, which can be reintroduced into the food production chain. This study evaluated the use of a by-product from the industrial processing of grapes as an ingredient in the manufacture of Petit Suisse cheese, made with A2A2 milk and the addition of the p...

The attention given to food has increased in recent decades due to consumers' interest in the possible therapeutic and nutritional properties of foods. Eating habits are associated with the composition of the individual's gastrointestinal microbiota, so changes in the intake of macronutrients and fiber can induce changes in bacterial diversity.

Cashew nuts from the Anacardium occidentale L. tree stand out as a promising raw material for developing innovative food products due to their rich nutrients and versatile applications. This work aimed to study and characterize a product based on a vegetable extract of cashew nut (CNWSE) fermented with water kefir grains. A 2³ central composite des...

Ginger is widely commercialized in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, mainly in dehydrated and powdered form. To do this, the raw material must go through a drying process, which can significantly influence its characteristics. This study proposed to investigate the ginger dehydration process under three different fractionation meth...

This work aimed to study and characterize a product based on vegetable extract of quinoa (WVEQ) fermented with water kefir grains. The effect of sucrose concentration (SC), inulin concentration (IC), and xanthan gum (XG) concentration were evaluated using a central composite design (CCD) 2³. They were subsequently characterized regarding cellular g...
