Research and Development of the Refreshing Whey Drinks Technology

Abstract

The production of whey drinks is of interest in all countries with a developed dairy industry. The basis of beverages – whey – is a valuable secondary raw material of the dairy industry, which is not utilized by every enterprise. In the world, this problem is solved by manufacturing various products, especially beverages. The relevance of these studies lies in the processing of whey, which helps to reduce the harm caused to the environment by waste from the dairy industry. Also, purposefully whey drinks were enriched with plant components of local juicy vegetable raw materials, which will expand the range of products. As vegetable raw materials, berries of saskatoon berry, chokeberry and sea buckthorn, rich in polyphenols, are used. The purpose of this study is to research and develop technologies for milk whey-based powders enriched with juices of wild berries. The article presents the results of a study of beverages based on whey enriched with natural juices from wild raw materials of Northern Kazakhstan. The study used modern physico-chemical, organoleptic, technological and statistical methods for the study of raw materials and finished products. According to the data obtained, the studied wheybased beverages fully comply with GOST.
