Development and Physio Chemical Analysis of Flavoured Milk from Chenopodium Quinoa

The study of vegan milk flavoured vegan milk development was carried out at the Department of Food Technology, Parul Institute of Applied Science, Parul, University Vadodara. Quinoa is a good choice for those with hormone imbalance like PCOS and PCOD since it is strong in protein and has a great amino acid balance. is packed with nutrients. Protein and fibre are good for people with diabetes and celiac disease because they assist to regulate blood sugar levels. The main idea of study was to develop a vegan milk as it can be served to the lactose intolerance people. Naturally free from sugar. Proper and ideal packaging along with refrigeration storage makes the quinoa milk fit and in sound condition for up to 3 days. Flavoured quinoa milk was produced by extracting milk from sprouted soaked quinoa. Extract milk blended with dark chocolate, cocoa powder, cashew nut and dates. The blending of the milk improves its creaminess and smoothness. Three distinct dilutions were created using quinoa milk and water ratios 1 4, 1 6, 1 8 for further milk formulations. The optimum formulation is employed for additional organoleptic analyses, including taste, colour, mouth feel, and general acceptability. The evaluation of microbiological parameters and proximal analysis came next. The quinoa milk had a 75.3 of moisture content and 0.52 of ash content in addition it was found to have 3.53 of protein content 17.25 of carbohydrates content and 3.67 of fat content and energy 166.15 kcal. The results show that quinoa milk is a vegan product with a high nutritional value that lactose intolerant individuals should consider.
