Abstract

In this study, red lentils (RL), mung beans (MB), black-eyed peas (BP), peanuts (PN), and chickpeas (CP) were used as raw materials in plant-based milk production. Ice cream was produced from these milks and the melting characteristic and overrun of the ice creams were evaluated. BP milk had the highest protein level (39.07 mg BSA/L). The highest DPPH activity was found in BP milk (73.12%). For TPC, RL milk had the lowest result (373.04 mg GAE/L), while MB milk had the highest (693.62 mg GAE/L). According to physicochemical analyses, MB and BP milks stand out in terms of their FC. CP and RL milks have a more stable structure than other milks, exhibiting moderate foaming properties and balanced densities. As a result, BP milk can be said to be more attractive plant-based product for ice cream production due to its higher overrun and foaming power, high protein, and antioxidant capacity.

Özet

Bu çalışmada bitkisel süt üretiminde hammadde olarak kırmızı mercimek (RL), maş fasulyesi (MB), börülce (BP), yer fıstığı (PN) ve nohut (CP) kullanılmıştır. Bu sütlerden dondurma üretilmiş ve dondurmaların erime özellikleri ve hacimsel artışları değerlendirilmiştir. BP sütü en yüksek protein seviyesine (39.07 mg BSA/L) sahip olmuştur. En yüksek DPPH aktivitesi BP sütünde (%73.12) bulunmuştur. TPC açısından RL süt en düşük (373.04 mg GAE/L), MB süt en yüksek değeri (693.62 mg GAE/L) almıştır. Fizikokimyasal analizlere göre MB ve BP sütleri FC açısından ön plana çıkmaktadır. CP ve RL sütler diğer sütlere göre daha stabil bir yapıya sahip olup, orta düzeyde köpürme özelliği ve dengeli yoğunluk göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, BP sütünün daha yüksek kabarma ve köpürme gücü, yüksek protein ve antioksidan kapasitesi nedeniyle dondurma üretimi için daha cazip bir bitki bazlı ürün olduğu söylenebilir.
