Development of a new line of yogurts and smoothies with fruit and honey made with natural ingredients
Desarrollo de una nueva línea de yogures y smoothies con ingredientes naturales de fruta y miel
Context
The project involves the design of a new line of low-fat yogurt drinks with blended fresh fruits and/or vegetables, with added natural sweeteners. Thus, a new line of high-quality products with high added value will be obtained. This will improve the competitiveness of the fruits, vegetables and honey of the Terres de Lleida region, integrating them into the agri-food chain through their treatment and processing. This way, they will be used as raw materials for the production of yogurts, while promoting local products.
Objectives
The general objective is to design and develop a new line of yogurts and smoothies with natural fruit, vegetable and honey ingredients from local markets.
The following specific technical objectives have been set:
-To design and develop extracts of a natural origin that have sweetening properties.
-To evaluate the incorporation of honey as a substitute for added sugars.
-To design and develop a new line of low-fat yogurt drinks with fresh fruits and vegetables, with added natural sweeteners.
-To evaluate the impact of innovative technologies to preserve seasonal fruit.
Objectives
El objetivo general es diseñar y desarrollar una nueva línea de yogures y smoothies con ingredientes naturales de fruta, verdura y miel procedentes de mercados locales. Se han planteado los siguientes objetivos técnicos específicos:
- Diseñar y desarrollar extractos de origen natural con poder edulcorante.
- Evaluar la incorporación de miel como sustitutivo de los azúcares añadidos.
- Diseñar y desarrollar una nueva línea de yogur batido desnatado con fruta y/o verdura fresca con incorporación de edulcorantes naturales.
- Evaluar el impacto de tecnologías innovadoras para la conservación de fruta de temporada.
Activities
To meet the project’s objectives, it will be necessary to design and develop natural plant and honey extracts, as well as the formulation of a yogurt drink with fresh fruit and/or vegetables and with added natural sweeteners. The formulation of a yogurt drink from the mentioned extracts will be carried out both on a laboratory scale as a pilot study and on a semi-industrial scale. Finally, the stability and the shelf-life of the developed products will be evaluated.
Activities
Para alcanzar los objetivos del proyecto se deberán diseñar y desarrollar extractos vegetales y de miel, formular un yogur bebible con fruta y/o verdura fresca con la incorporación de los extractos edulcorantes naturales, formular un yogur bebible a partir de estos extractos tanto a nivel de laboratorio como a escala piloto y a escala semi-industrial y finalmente, evaluar la estabilidad y vida útil de los productos desarrollados.
